There is a famous Shakespeare quote that says "Beware the Ides of March" but I believe that there may have been a typo. I think they were trying to say "Be aware of the Ideas of March".
Feature availability may vary and is based on factors such as, but not limited to, region readiness, product licensing, and the Genesys release schedule. For more information, see the Genesys Cloud release schedule.
2024 Genesys CIDR expansion and firewall requirements notification
URGENTPlease take action
now to avoid service disruption. By April 5, 2025, to prevent service disruption and ensure service continuity, customers must take the following steps:
- Configure their firewalls to allow access to the new CIDR IP addresses.
- Complete all applicable readiness tests.
- Read the entire 2024 Genesys CIDR Expansion - Commercial announcement
Genesys previously announced that, during the week of December 7, 2024, Genesys would migrate an additional /18 CIDR block of IP addresses used for Genesys Cloud public-facing media services. Genesys postponed that date to April 5, 2025. These addresses supplement existing regions and cover growth in future regions. The new IP range is 136.245.64.0/18. Additionally, Genesys will expand the RTP port range and move the Force TURN IP addresses to the new Genesys CIDR block.
Multi contextual panels
ImportantThe opt-in/opt-out period for this feature ends on March 31, 2025. As of this date, all agents will use only the new multiple contextual panel experience. For more information, see
Agent UI multiple contextual panels.
Call center admins can use multi contextual panels to improve agent efficiency by reducing the number of clicks. This feature allows agents to display multiple contextual panels simultaneously to more efficiently focus on a customer conversation with full context visible at a glance.
Genesys Cloud for X (Twitter) Direct Messaging integration
Administrators can now use the Genesys Cloud for X (formerly Twitter) Direct Messaging as a native messaging channel in Genesys Cloud. This integration allows agents to respond privately to customer messages sent to an organization's X business account, supporting both direct conversations and public posts that transition into private conversations. With this update, Genesys Cloud provides built-in support, simplifying setup and management while keeping customer interactions within the platform's native messaging framework.
Introducing Genesys Cloud Social
Genesys introduces Genesys Cloud Social, which enables administrators to organize and route both public and private social media messages from customers on X and Facebook. This feature allows administrators to set up social escalation rules to direct these interactions to agents, and then agents can view and respond to these messages. Also, supervisors and managers can access listening analytics in the Social Listening Performance view, review individual posts in the Social Listening Post view, and can analyze conversational data across multiple performance views. This feature helps improve social media management, making it easier to track, route, and respond to customer communications across X and Facebook.
Work Automation List view OR queries
Administrators can now use an OR operator, in addition to the existing AND operator, when they query workitems in the Work Automation List view. Within a single worktype grouping, conditions can be connected via either AND or OR. This enhancement makes it easier to find workitems based on broad or specific criteria, such as tags, skills, service level agreements (SLAs), or custom attributes. For example, case managers can now quickly answer questions like:
- How many cases have a specific skill?
- How many cases are tagged within a particular region?
- How many cases meet multiple criteria across different case types?
By default, conditions within a group use the OR operator to help supervisors, business administrators, and case managers refine their searches more effectively.
Sensitive data masking support for English chat and messaging transcripts
Sensitive data masking support in chat and messaging transcripts is now available for all English dialects.
ACD voicemail transcription
Administrators can now enable ACD voicemail transcription in the organization's settings, which allows agents to read voicemail transcripts directly within the platform. This feature helps agents quickly understand the reason for a call and gather relevant information before returning it.
Ukrainian language support
User interface support in Genesys Cloud is now available for Ukrainian-Ukraine (uk-UA).
Deprecation: Documents UI Audit tab
Genesys Cloud deprecated the Audit tab in the documents UI.
Deprecation: Auto answer pop-up toast
Genesys Cloud no longer supports the auto answer pop-up toast for agent, and queue settings.
Deprecation: Genesys Enhanced TTS - Google European Voices
On April 15, 2025, Genesys will no longer support certain Google European voices in Genesys Enhanced Text-to-Speech (TTS) integrations. Google is deprecating these European text-to-speech (TTS) voices. Genesys Cloud recommends that customers who use these TTS voices switch to alternative TTS voices in their Architect flows.
