This is a feature that was really missing.
It would also be possible to automatically send a response to the customer informing them, for example: "since we don't have an answer, we will close this conversation"... that would be great.
Edit: I see that it will be possible to send to a stream, so we can send the message and disconnect.
Edit2: Genesys, PLEASE....Inactivity CANNOT OCCUR ON THE AGENT'S SIDE.
I believe you can provide two boolean options:
* inactivity agent
* inactivity customer
Think about it.
1 - The customer navigated the flow;
2 - The customer went to the queue;
3 - The agent said "good morning" and the customer said "good morning";
4 - The customer explains their need;
5 - The agent says: "OK, wait while I check";
6 - This agent has a "utilization" rating of 3 and is dealing with another interaction that became complicated, meaning the interaction above is on hold;
7 - The interaction on hold reaches the inactivity timeout;
8 - The agent didn't pay attention to the alert;
9 - The customer receives a message that the interaction was terminated due to inactivity, even though they (the customer) were waiting for the agent's response.
Terrible customer experience.

Subject: Automatic Handling of Inactive Messaging Interactions
Dear Genesys Cloud Community,
We're excited to announce that the Automatic Handling of Inactive Messaging Interactions feature is gradually rolling out and will be generally available in all regions by November 20th.
This feature automatically manages inactive asynchronous messaging conversations based on per-queue inactivity settings, helping admins keep agent workloads current and efficient. Find more information in our Resource Center article:
Learn more: The attached PDF provides setup guidance and outlines the key benefits for administrators and agents.
The original idea can be found here: https://genesyscloud.ideas.aha.io/ideas/DIG-I-1056
We invite all of you to continue the discussion here in this thread - share your feedback, questions, or experiences as the feature becomes available in your region.
Thank you for your collaboration and for helping shape the future of Genesys Cloud!
