Genesys Cloud – February 2, 2026
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.
Inbound WhatsApp business calling
Third-Party Digital Channels
Customer engagement
Administrators can now configure WhatsApp business numbers to support inbound voice calls in Genesys Cloud and enable standard voice transcription for those calls. Customers can call a business directly through WhatsApp, while supervisors gain visibility into WhatsApp voice interactions for monitoring metrics and agent performance. Agents can receive and answer inbound WhatsApp voice calls through standard ACD routing and perform blind transfers to other agents or queues, helping maintain consistent call handling across channels. Keeping voice and messaging within a single experience improves context during escalations and complex conversations.

Attempt control enhancements
Outbound Campaigns & Dialer
Customer engagement
Administrators can now configure attempt controls with greater precision by setting phone type–specific attempt limits, extending recall times, and adjusting reset periods. These updates help manage dialing behavior across different phone numbers and re-engagement timelines. Administrators can set attempt limits per phone type, including both predefined and custom types, configure recall times up to 30 days after the initial call (previously 480 minutes), and define attempt limit reset periods between 2 and 30 days. This flexibility helps organizations align outreach timing with regional practices and customer preferences while improving control over redial eligibility.

Automatically end preview interactions after wrap-up
Outbound Campaigns & Dialer
Customer engagement
Administrators can now enable a campaign setting that automatically ends preview interactions when no additional calls are possible, such as when a contact record has only one phone number or when the selected wrap-up code is configured to make the contact un-callable. This enhancement eliminates the need for agents to manually end preview interactions and helps campaigns progress more smoothly. Automatically ending the interaction in these cases helps reduce idle time, avoid stuck interactions, and improve the flow between contacts for agents working in preview campaigns.

Queue ID attribute for embeddable framework click-to-dial
Third-Party Desktop (Embeddable Framework)
Employee productivity
Developers can now use a Queue ID attribute in the Genesys Cloud Embeddable Framework to improve click-to-dial behavior. The attribute is available in condensed conversation data and allows integrations to reuse the last selected queue or define a default queue for outbound calls. By reducing repeated prompts, this enhancement helps agents place calls faster and stay focused during high-volume outbound work.

Genesys Cloud Voice phone number redirection for business continuity (US & Canada)
Genesys Cloud Voice
Open platform
Administrators can now link their Genesys Cloud Voice organization to another organization in a different region (US East, US West & Canada) and reroute selected phone numbers during an outage or maintenance event. This update lets administrators preselect eligible phone numbers, choose a destination organization, and enable or revert routing with a single action. With organization linking, administrators can prepare an alternate routing destination in advance and quickly switch traffic when needed, helping improve continuity of voice services during regional disruptions or planned maintenance. The workflow requires approval from both organizations and includes dedicated routing configuration to manage preferences individually or in bulk.

Locale-based date and time display
Language Support
Open platform
Genesys Cloud can now display dates and times based on a user's preferred locale and browser settings, in addition to the configured language. This update helps users read dates more easily by matching familiar regional formats, such as day–month–year, or month–day–year. Previously, date and time formats followed the display language's default locale. With this change, Genesys Cloud uses the browser locale when available and compatible, which helps reduce confusion when the same language is used across different regions. Script developers can also select date formats based on locale for more consistent experiences. As part of this update, users with Arabic, Korean, and Traditional Chinese (Taiwan) preferences now see times displayed in a 12-hour format.

LAM-powered virtual agents in AI Studio
Virtual Agent (Bots & IVR)
Self service and automation
Administrators can now create and manage Large Action Model (LAM)–powered Agentic Virtual Agents in AI Studio and deploy them in Architect-enabled flows. These Agentic Virtual Agents use configured tools and knowledge to carry out tasks during a conversation and choose next steps based on context. AI Studio provides a no-code interface to define the actions an Agentic Virtual Agent can take and the knowledge sources it can use. This approach helps teams build Agentic Virtual Agents that blend structured flow logic with flexible, action-oriented conversations while operating within defined boundaries.
Note: This feature is available on a limited basis.
