Details
We are announcing deprecation of ACD Web Chat support in Genesys Predictive Engagement in order to focus all our efforts and resources on building and expanding Web Messaging, which adds a modern async experience to traditional chat, and better aligned to future expansion on Messenger as a unified framework of digital apps (including Messaging, Journey Tracking, Knowledge, Co-browse, and more coming soon). This also allows us to leverage modern technology stack for APIs and JavaScript or Mobile SDKs, for improved integration and overall stability & security.
