Improved detection of SMS opt-out requests
SMS
Customer engagement
Genesys Cloud improves detection of SMS opt-out requests by recognizing a broader range of phrases and variations beyond single keywords. Inbound messages are evaluated using both keyword-based logic and phrase matching against predefined opt-out phrases across multiple languages. When a message matches one of these phrases, Genesys Cloud treats it as an opt-out request and automatically updates suppression tables. This improvement helps ensure opt-out requests are identified more consistently and supports compliant consent handling. This feature is available in all Genesys Cloud regions except Canada Central 1 Region (CAC1) and FedRAMP.
