  • 1.  Agent appears in queue and available despite being disconnected from the network

    Posted 20 days ago

    What might be happening if, during a network drop, the agent remains showing as available in the queue (and never goes offline), even though they are disconnected and outside the ACW period?

    Hi Maico,

    I came across this thread which may help:

    Agent status in case of power failure or internet outage

    https://community.genesys.com/discussion/agent-status-in-case-of-power-failure-or-internet-outage

    We have not personally experienced this in our environment, but hopefully someone who has seen this behaviour firsthand can add more detail.

    This happens to us quite often.  Eventually, a call tries to route to them and, when it cannot connect, it pushes them into Not Responding.  That is our experience.

    Hi Maico, we have similar issues with connections dropping. We change the agents presents on their behalf to "Away" until they reconnect, so a new interaction doesn't sneak through.

    Do you know why these agents are having network issues. I understand the nature of the question is what to do when an agent is network interrupted but is there a cause for the disconnect? Genesys has settings for restoring status upon reconnection, but I do not believe they have anything for falling off the network.

    Hi Steve,


    In most cases we've seen, the root cause is an abrupt or unstable network drop (Wi‑Fi, ISP, VPN, power fluctuation) rather than a Genesys configuration issue. When the disconnect isn't clean, Genesys may not immediately register the agent as offline.
    You're right that Genesys supports presence restoration on reconnection, but there's no immediate mechanism to force an offline state when an agent suddenly drops from the network. That's why many teams rely on operational workarounds (supervisor intervention or automation) to manage presence during known network issues.

    Hi Maico,

    This usually happens when the network drop is abrupt and Genesys doesn't immediately detect the disconnect. The agent's presence can remain "Available" until an interaction attempts to route to them or a heartbeat timeout occurs, at which point they may move to Not Responding.

    It's expected behavior in some network failure scenarios, especially outside ACW, since Genesys has stronger logic for restoring status on reconnection than for detecting sudden disconnects.

    Hope this helps.
