    Contact center

    Introducing Architect flow outcome milestones

    Administrators and contact center managers can now use outcome milestones in Architect flows. Milestones enable more granular reporting for flow outcomes so that you can build reporting around the customer journey. For more information, see Add a flow milestone and Add Flow Milestone action. This feature requires one of the following subscriptions: Genesys Cloud User 1, Genesys Cloud User 2, or Genesys Cloud User 3.

    View bot flow utterance history

    Bot authors can now view all utterances in a bot flow conversation. This enhancement enables bot authors to monitor the conversation for intent recognition against testing and actual use case utterances. To access this feature, users must have the Analytics > botFlowReportingTurn > View permission assigned to any role. For more information, see View utterance history. This feature requires one of the following subscriptions: Genesys Cloud User 1, Genesys Cloud User 2, or Genesys Cloud User 3.

    Enhancements to workforce management forecasts

    Administrators and contact center supervisors can now create short-term interval forecasts up to six weeks for scheduling, and long-term daily forecasts for up to two years, or 104 weeks. These enhancements provide improved insight into trends and seasonality. Short-term forecasts and long-term forecasts now appear on separate tabs in the forecast view. Modifications for both views associated with the first six weeks of the forecast are also viewable in both tabs. For more information, see Work with forecasts and Work with the forecast editor. This feature requires the following subscriptions: Genesys Cloud User 3, Genesys Cloud User 1 WEM Upgrade II, or Genesys Cloud User 2 WEM Upgrade I.

    Deprecations

    Incoming non-voice interaction alert ringtone change

    On June 9, 2021, Genesys will replace the current sound accompanying incoming non-voice interaction alerts with a new ringtone. The new ringtone will play continuously until an agent answers or declines, or the alert timer expires. For more information, see Incoming non-voice interaction alert ringtone change. This feature requires one of the following subscriptions: Genesys Cloud User 1, Genesys Cloud User 2, Genesys Cloud User 3, Genesys Cloud User 1 Digital Upgrade I, Genesys Cloud User 1 Digital Upgrade II, or Genesys Cloud User 2 Digital Upgrade I.

    Reduced data retention period for journey history change

    On May 26, 2021, the reduced data retention period for journey history went into effect. For more information, see Journey history data retention change. This feature requires one of the following subscriptions: Genesys Cloud User 2, Genesys Cloud User 3, Genesys Cloud User 1 Digital Upgrade I, Genesys Cloud User 1 Digital Upgrade II, or Genesys Cloud User 2 Digital Upgrade I.

    I was able to configure new flow milestone functionality and attach it to some point in routing strategy. But where I can get some reporting data  - which milestones have been reached by interactions?

    Hi Laurie,
    As indicated, this is a great feature as it will assist with the current limitation of 100 Flow Outcomes per Org.
    We currently have a customer with 14 Divisions and a Inbound Voice Call Flow per Division (14), 1 x Email, 1 x Chat and 1 x Social Call Flow for all Divisions. We have reached the limit of 100 Flow Outcomes and cannot add any additional so this will assist to reduce Flow Outcomes.

    As an example what we currently have:
    4 x Flow Outcomes to count interactions on Schedule times. (HoursOpen, HoursClosed, HoursHoliday, HourEmergency)
    This is configured in all Call Flows as Flow Outcomes reports on Call Flows which provides Total entries for all Divisions and Total per Call Flows (Total Per Division)

    What i foresee with Flow Outcome Milestones to reduce and free up Flow Outcomes is:
    Create 1 x Flow Outcome (Hours), create 4 x Flow Outcome Milestones (Open, Close, Holiday, Emergency) and associate with Flow Outcome (Hours) within Call Flows.

    My concern with the Flow Outcome Milestones is, as Flow Outcome Milestones are configured at Division level:
    Will Flow Outcome Milestones reports provide Total entries for all Divisions (Total)?
    Will Flow Outcome Milestones reports provide Total per Call Flows (Total Per Division)?

    I asked our PM team and reporting is not available yet. Per them, this will be part of the next release. I don't have a date for that, but we'll let you know when it becomes available. Cheers!

    Thanks. But are those results available via API at least?

    They are! The milestone data is only available via the API right now under architect:

    I would say that here you can do via API the same things as available via interface - like create, update or delete milestone. But here we can not get usage reporting data

    Those apis are for creating, editing, & deleting milestones.  They do not show you how they are used in interactions.  You can use analytics queries to see that.  For example use the Flow Aggregate and group by flowMilestoneId.
    Query:
    {
    	"interval": "2021-05-26T15:49:33.819523100Z/2021-05-26T15:50:03.077368900Z",
    	"groupBy": [
    		"flowMilestoneId"
    	],
    	"metrics": [
    		"nFlowMilestone",
    		"oFlowMilestone"
    	],
    	"views": [],
    	"divisionIds": []
    }​
    Response:
    {
        "results": [
            {
                "group": {
                    "flowMilestoneId": "myFlowMilestoneIdHere",
                    "mediaType": "voice"
                },
                "data": [
                    {
                        "interval": "2021-05-26T15:49:33.819Z/2021-05-26T15:50:03.077Z",
                        "metrics": [
                            {
                                "metric": "nFlowMilestone",
                                "stats": {
                                    "count": 1
                                }
                            },
                            {
                                "metric": "oFlowMilestone",
                                "stats": {
                                    "max": 1,
                                    "min": 1,
                                    "count": 1,
                                    "sum": 1
                                }
                            }
                        ]
                    }
                ]

    Thanks for the reply this is very helpful.

    When I try to run a Flow Aggregate Query in my environment I'm not seeing the flowMilestoneId in my list of Group By's. I've tried logging out and back in but still don't see it. Am I missing something?

    I just added my first Milestone's to my call flow and did a few test calls. Does it take awhile after the first calls using milestones to show up in teh Flow Aggregate query?

    I'm filing a bug for the dev center, it should show up in that list.  It does appear in the api explorer view though. Here's a workaround:
    1) Use the analytics query builder to build your query (I'd substitute some other group by value like flowVersion just so you know what to replace later)
    2) Run it.  
    3) Ignore the response as long as it got a 200 ok and copy the request body.
    4) Go to the api explorer tab. It's the lightening bolt.
    5) Under Analytics click the POST Query for flow aggregates.
    6) Paste the request body from above. Replace your dummy group by value with flowMilestoneId.
    7) Run it.

    Part of me was kind of hoping this would come with the ability to add a flow outcome/milestone directly onto an architect action (Transfer to ACD etc).  The reality then is that if we truly want to use this to track things like IVR menu options etc we need to create tasks just to do this.  Hopefully there's an idea out to enhance this.
