Hi! According to the official Genesys documentation, instead of using the Genesys Cloud auto-answer feature, you should use the "Automatically accept work requests" option provided by Salesforce. This setting is configured in the Presence Configurations within Salesforce.
Regarding Control and Functionalities:
The integration allows for different work scenarios through "Mapped Status" and "Transition Status" settings:
Agents working in both systems simultaneously: Configure the Mapped Status as "Available" to allow agents to receive work on either platform, with blocking mechanisms to prevent duplicate assignments.
Agents working exclusively in one system: Configure the Mapped Status to non-on-queue types (such as "Busy") to prevent simultaneous availability across platforms.
This may help with the problem

Subject: New Genesys Cloud CX connector with Salesforce - Auto Answer
With the new connector (Genesys CX Cloud with Salesforce), I need to disable "auto answer" for users and queues in Genesys Cloud, leaving it enabled only within the Salesforce CTI. This ends up limiting the features in the contact center, as I lose control within Genesys, which has other functionalities. Have you encountered this scenario before? Were you able to do this in another way?
Regards!
