I've been asked about some scenarios about the use of data tables on Genesys Cloud.
We extensively use data tables to control / share call flows. Within these data tables are attributes that ultimately end up in the participate data which are set / attached to call records.
Data tables in Genesys Cloud are pretty free form (can be Boolean, integer, decimal string).
The queries are:
Is there a way of controlling the content of fields in a data table? E.g. can a pick list be imposed?
If a pick list is possible can the pick list be referenced externally of Genesys Cloud? E.g. a RDM system? D&G are putting in an RDM system and we would ideally like to master the data in there with Genesys referencing it.
If 1 and 2 are not possible, another thought is:
Data tables in Genesys Cloud
b. D&G make APIs calls to Genesys cloud for the related table content (e.g. Get /api/v2/flows/datatables/{datatableId}/rows/{rowId})
c. D&G cross compare the content of the Genesys Cloud data from b. and highlight errors / differences to allow Telephony to check the Genesys data tables
4. Do Genesys have any examples of your customers doing this?
An example is that some mis-spells "Retention" as "Retentions" and we ideally want a process to ensure the data tables are consistent with the RDM system's data / agreed data format.
