Plantronics Hub

    I saw this in appfoundry but the "Firmware" button only takes me back to Plantronics website with no information. My Plantronics Hub doesn't give me to "Genesys" option for PureCloud. https://appfoundry.genesys.com/filter/genesyscloud/listing/c6d17782-a086-413c-a626-bf733aae221d

    I also saw that from the Plantronics website,  Supported Softphones where PureCloud integration was developed by the "partner". I wonder if there is extra plugin need to be installed? along with Gensys Cloud Desktop Application + Plantronics Hub?

    Daniel,

    If you visit Poly's AppFoundry listing and click the Contact Us button, then Poly will be able to answer your questions about what is needed to get their headsets to work with Genesys Cloud.

    Hi Jim,

    Thanks for the note. I have done the same and been over a week now, haven't heard back from Poly. Is the Contact Us button actually alerted them?

    Hi Daniel

    What is not working when you try to use the Plantronics headset in Genesys Cloud?  Does the phone config setting show that the phone software is running?  I'm using a Plantronics headset (wired) and only have the Plantronics Hub installed.  I note the Poly website says the Hub software will show the softphone as an SDK-Enabled one.  So it's possible you won't actually see "Genesys" listed there but perhaps some other name based on it's integration through the browser.

    We have both the wired and wireless headsets, I need to ensure we are setting up the Plantronics Hub correctly with Genesys Cloud as per the information shown on both appfoundry and poly website.

    What is not working currently
    • Genesys Cloud + Salesforce softphone doesn't work with wireless Plantronics headsets call control buttons on the device
    We have been testing the option to have both Genesys Cloud Desktop version + PlantronicsHub installed and running in the background. However, there was basically ZERO documentation to talk about the best practices configuring Genesys Cloud + PlantronicsHub.

    I don't recall really having to do anything special - just installed the Hub software.  I did create a headset profile though - which I believe may be the step you're missing.  Create a headset profile pointing to the headset and save it - then see if it shows the headset software running and test it.

    I have submitted my enquiry again via AppFoundry, it said a response within 24 hours but I never heard back from Poly.. does it actually forward the message to Poly?

    Hi @Vaun McCarthy, thanks for following up here. This is more a request than an issue, we are able to make it work by using Genesys Cloud Desktop App and Plantronics Hub, but we cannot select the correct softphone in Plantronics Hub like the photo presented in the Appfoundry. Not an urgent request but disappointing to not getting a response from a vendor who charged you to provides enterprise solutions.

    I wonder if the screen shots in AppFoundry are just lazy copying and you'll see the same screenshot in the Connect and other AppFoundry sites.

    I hope not, and if you check the supported softphone from Poly website, the most of the items match the picklist in my Plantronics Hub. (attached a screenshot of the actual interface)

    Think you'll find that's what it is.  The "Genesys" in the screenshots refers to WDE in the Genesys Engage product, not Cloud.

    It's ok if this is the outcome so I can document it internally and close the case. Sadly the vendor is not responsive at all, maybe time for Jabra.

    Daniel,

    After some investigation, we realized that when Plantronics was purchased by Poly that during that transition their email address didn't get updated on their AppFoundry listing.  We just updated the address yesterday and the Contact Us button should now work.  Please submit your query to them via that mechanism and they will now reply.

    Sorry for the trouble, but glad that you uncovered that for us and Poly.

    Cheers,

    Thanks for the update @Jim Crespino​ and looking into the issue. I did submit another one again after your last update but still haven't heard back from them after another 3 business days. I've submitted an enquiry directly via their support webpage.

    Just throwing another comment onto this thread for anyone looking at it.

    • Genesys Cloud + Salesforce softphone doesn't work with wireless Plantronics headsets call control buttons on the device

    In most cases embedded clients (e.g. Salesforce) don't support the use of the headset built-in controls.

    Hi @Vaun McCarthy have you heard back agent mentioning they would hear beeping sound if they place the client on hold so they can consult with another internal resource?


    Also, some agents mentioned that they would hear the beeping sound which doing ACW task.
