  • 1.  Integration Of Home Grown Chat bot with Genesys cloud

    Hi  Community,

     We have developed an inhouse chatbot  based on IBM Watson platform and trying to integrate the chat bot with Genesys Cloud where, if any customer is communicating with the homegrown chat bot and want to talk to a live agent the customer's chat has to be transferred to a chat agent configured on Genesys.
    For this we are using Guest Chat APIs Genesys Cloud CX Developer Center.

    However IBM Watson only supports  Openwhisk / Serverless functions with chat sockets. Do we have Genesys Chat API that support Openwhisk / Serverless functions.

    First if you looking at the API route, use the web Messaging guest API, not the chat API.  

    The better approach would be to create a Bot Connecter and just use Watson for the NLU piece and let Genesys do the initiation and escalation parts.

    I completely agree with Robert's recommendations.  

    If you want to build a chat UI that sits in front of Genesys, uses Watson to perform chat self-service, and then escalate to agents as needed then definitely look at the Web Messaging Guest API: https://developer.genesys.cloud/api/digital/webmessaging/websocketapi

    However, if you want your Watson bot to work across all text-based channels (Web Chat/Messaging, Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp, etc) then putting the Watson NLU behind Genesys via the Bot Connector would be the best approach: https://developer.genesys.cloud/api/rest/v2/textbots/botconnector-customer-api-spec

    Rakesh,

    I did a DevCast webinar on the Bot Connector last year.  You might review that along with the docs: https://youtu.be/F1fKURHDsPA

    If you have any questions on the Bot Connector as you go along then please post to the Developer Center Forum at https://developer.genesys.cloud/forum as that forum is gear more toward development questions than this one is.

    Good luck.
