"Alert - No Answer" when "Auto Answer" is turned "ON"

  • 1.  "Alert - No Answer" when "Auto Answer" is turned "ON"

    Posted 15 days ago

    Hi there,

    We are seeing multiple instances of this happening. A user has Auto Answer turned ON and "Alert - No Answer" being reported in the agent performance report. 

    Can someone please shed some light on this as how and when can this happen?

    Thanks,

    Vikas

    Hello Vikas,

    This could happen for multiple reasons. The most common issue tends to be the network that the agent is using. I would recommend checking their network using the Genesys Cloud Network Readiness Assessment and ensuring that all Genesys traffic is bypassed or white listed from any firewalls / proxies.

    Not sure if it the same as you are experiencing, but we have noticed a higher concentration of not responding on the first few calls of the day for agents, where auto answer agents are getting an alert to click to accept the call (which they shouldnt get) and then it's not letting them click it.

    We opened a ticket with Genesys and provided many logs, and now Genesys says they may have found an issue and the developers are working on a fix.
    We have asked for an ETA and nothing yet, but that they are working on it.

    Thanks, for that insight Christopher. Will do a quick check with my team if that's what is happening.

    Besides, can you kindly keep us posted on the outcome of that Genesys ticket, please? Much appreciated!

    We turned on auto-answer at the queue level for our tier 1 agents as of 7/1/25 and some immediately reported some calls requiring the "answer" button to be clicked while others auto-answered. I checked the auto-answer setting multiple times throughout the day to ensure nothing had changed on that end.

    We had a Team Lead report this:

    Every once in a while I'm getting this, no option to answer, does not auto answer, then put in "not responding"

    I see in this example, you are showing a consult transfer.  Remember that that call will be an internal call from agent 1 to agent 2 and Auto Answer is only eligible for ACD calls.   One thing to also check is to see if there is a correlation between station errors and Not Answering by showing the Errors columns in the Agent Performance next to the Not Answering column.

    Thank you for the feedback! I checked the Agent Performance and there was a station error on the Team Lead's side who took the consult call around the interval where the issue was reported but nothing for the agent who initiated the consult. Is this where the error log would be needed for further investigation?

    Hi Chad, thanks for sharing your findings. Q - When you say you turned the Auto Answer "ON" at the queue level, was it already "ON" at the user level?

    Thanks

    Originally, Auto Answer was controlled at the agent level for ALL queue.  Now there is an Auto Answer setting at the queue level, but whichever is turned on takes precedence, so if you turn on at the agent level, it will auto-answer for all queues and if you turn off at the agent and turn on at the queue level, all agents in the queue will be auto-answer for calls to that queue only.

    Thanks for the intel, Robert. 

    So, this then means that if we turn the Auto Answer = ON at the queue level, we don't need to make an extra effort to manage the same at the user level, correct?

    And can you kindly link us to any documentation around this, please?

    Thanks,

    Vikas

    Correct.  I would convert to Queue-based setting instead of agent-based.

    Our customer has also been experiencing higher than normal not responding. Our customer does not use auto answer. We have a case open for this issue but they have not found anything yet. Could you please share your case number so we can ask our support people to look at notes and see if our two cases are related.? Thank you,

    We are experiencing the same issue.  I have now instructed the agents to do a On Demand log capture when it happens.  I have a case with Genesys Case #0003791408.  We have ruled out network issues causing this.  It happens to all agents periodically.  It happens in the office and remote.  It happens when the use the VPN or when they are directly connected to our network.  We have Persistent Connection feature enabled as instructed by Genesys support.  We would like this to get escalated because it is affecting our customer service.

    Hey Christopher,

    Could you provide the case number that you have with Product Support? I would like to monitor this issue internally.
