Genesys Cloud - Main

Hello,

I am looking to understand volume management regarding emails. For example:

• If a trusted/allowed domain accidentally or intentionally sends a very high volume of emails, do we have any throttling or rate-limiting capabilities within Genesys?
• Are there any monitoring, alerting, or queue management capabilities that would allow us to identify unusual volumes before they impact service?

Any ideas would be helpful.

Hello, @Jyoti Sharma

From what I know, Genesys Cloud does not have a simple native setting like "throttle inbound emails from this sender/domain after X emails per minute" at the ACD email routing level.

For this type of scenario, I would look at it in two layers. First, if you need true rate limiting, blocking, or quarantine before the emails reach Genesys, I would usually handle that in the upstream email/security platform, such as Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, the customer mail gateway, or another email security tool.

Inside Genesys, I would focus more on detection, routing, and alerting. For example, you can use an inbound email flow to inspect sender/domain, subject, or other values, and then route suspicious or high-risk emails to a specific review queue instead of the main service queue.

For monitoring, alerts can be very useful. You can create alert rules for queue metrics, such as when the number of waiting interactions or the backlog reaches a certain threshold. That would not stop the volume by itself, but it can notify supervisors before the queue is heavily impacted.

So in short: I would not rely only on Genesys for inbound email throttling. I would use upstream email controls for prevention, and Genesys flows, queues, saved views, and alerts for detection and operational response.
