Thank you! I think from the initial description the release didn't match our expectations. Anyways, we get what we get and for more useful metrics I will raise an idea :)
One last ask - can we expect the metric definitions to be added in the documentation and if they are self explanatory it would be even better? please ignore this part - was lost navigating all the sections of Interactions view columns definitions.

Ekaterina,
Thank you for raising this insightful question. Historically, all ACD-initiated interactions have been treated as inbound, which is why Genesys Cloud metrics are currently structured this way. That said, I completely understand how, in your specific use case, it could be valuable to differentiate between inbound and outbound bot interactions.
Your feedback is appreciated, and I encourage you to submit this as an idea in the Genesys Idea Portal. This allows others to vote and share their perspectives, helping us better understand the broader need. We actively review these suggestions, and insights like yours play an important role in shaping future enhancements.

Hi @Atsushi Kokubo!
Just a follow up question - what kind of insights do you expect businesses to get from the number of messages in a conversation if they are all counted as inbound for an ACD interaction?

Ekaterina, we decided to include both open message and web messaging into this feature.
In Genesys Cloud, the direction of a messaging session is functioning as designed - determined at the session level rather than by individual message direction - with ACD sessions consistently classified as inbound.

hi @Atsushi Hirano!
It actualy works for Open Messaging, but not how we expected:
all sent messages including bot response, customer and user replies are counted in the metric "Inbound Messages", while "Outbound Messages" shows 0 always.
even these messages are count like two separate messages:

Hi, @Atsushi Hirano! We have received new release notes - one of the releases says this will be launched during this week. Hoever it only mentions SMS and social media. Is it correct or Open Message is actually already in scope? :)

We are planning to introduce new digital metrics columns in Interactions Views in the analytics UI
we're adding five new columns.
Be default, the new columns are not visible.
