    I don't, though I'm sorry to hear that you do. Were you looking for something in particular? Perhaps we can get you pointed in the right direction.

    the old one would give daily tasks and you could see points and rewards this cant be seen any more and not clear on how you get up the levels 

    I had a lot of points in the previous version which could have been changed to rewards which I can no longer see

    Hey Ziyaad, 

    I am working with the Advocacy/GCAP team on this transition, and will allow them to address any questions/concerns that you have and provide more context. You can also email them directly (advocacy@Genesys.com). Here is what I know:

    1) Your points are not gone! They will be coming back. 

    2) There will be challenges available, the team is working on that implementation and will be providing updates in the community. Genesys Casual (the community this conversation is taking place in) is a great community to keep following because we will share major GCAP/Advocacy updates here.

    Hopefully things start to make sense and look more familiar shortly.

    Cheers!

    Matt

    Hi Ziyaad!

    GCAP rewards are still here! In fact, we've made it even easier to be rewarded for your engagement by offering an assortment of rewards and experiences that you can unlock through our new advocacy levels. You'll notice new color-coded GCAP Member ribbons are beginning to pop up in the Community, which let you show off your current advocacy level.

    Just as you could in the old GCAP, you can still redeem your points for training & certification vouchers, Beyond subscriptions, and Genesys Professional Services packages. For more information on lifetime rewards or to redeem your points, visit advocacy.genesys.com.

    Hi Ziyaad, the points that you see under your summary are from community engagment. The GCAP team is still working on migrating points. If you have any questions about your points or level, please email advocacy@genesys.com

    Hi Ziyaad,

    I have to agree - having logged into GCAP daily to do the tasks and also separately participate in customer reference calls etc. I find this new setup terrible.

    It took me a while to log in, I still don't see my old points, have no idea what I am supposed to be doing daily (if anything) and am pretty much at a point where I feel like giving up with it.

    I know I am not alone as having spoken to colleagues who also used the old system they all agree.  This is not a "afraid of change" scenario, it just feels like the whole thing has gone backwards.  I can't imagine we few are the only ones who feel the same.

    Happy for Genesys to reach out to me and actually give me a run down on what is expected from members here.  Otherwise this will sadly end a few years of participation from me.

    Hey Adrian,

    The new GCAP experience is still being built/integrated, so more functionality will be coming soon. In the future, GCAP challenges will be available on this site. Until then, we are running some contests in the community that you can enjoy and win prizes from. You can find the list here: https://community.genesys.com/prize-wall#cc

    GCAP and team are working on migrating your points, and nothing will be lost in the transition.

    If you have any questions for the GCAP team, you can email them at advocacy@Genesys.com

    Thanks,

    Matt

    Hi Ziyaad!

    The achievements bar under My Accomplishments shows your progress toward earning the available badges here in the Community. Your lifetime GCAP points will appear below that section under the Points subheading.

    Hi Matt, thanks for your response.

    I have to ask, if GCAP 2.0 is not fully ready and there are migration tasks that sound to be slow and somewhat drawn out.  Why was the decision not made to keep GCAP 1.0 running until a full product was available?

    With what is available now, it feels like the advocacy route has gone backwards?

    Hi Adrian!

    These are all fair points, and I understand your frustration with some of the friction this move has created. The decision to restructure our advocacy program has been in the works for a while, and our goal was always to move toward a more connected experience that would allow you to earn points across programs on one consolidated profile-rather than having to continue to log in to a separate advocacy website.

    Because GCAP 2.0 is a more personalized experience, it focuses on direct outreach when we have an opportunity you would enjoy. So, while it might feel like GCAP is missing from your routine or that advocacy has gone backward, we're still operating behind the scenes and creating advocacy activity matches. We're just taking some of the heavy lifting out of the process by emailing you a direct match rather than you having to log in and check GCAP every day. When we received feedback during the launch that customers were missing the experience of browsing through activities, we adapted our approach to GCAP 2.0 to reintroduce the activity carousel customers were looking for on our Community page.

    Unfortunately, there were some hiccups with the data migration that were outside of our control. Our entire team has been working on addressing this, and it is expected to be resolved soon. We have your points; nothing has been lost; the disconnect is with having those points load on your Community profile. Once those are up and running, you will probably hear our team shouting for joy from across the ocean. 😅

    We're always looking for feedback as it helps us grow and improve your GCAP experience. I appreciate your patience and for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. If you have additional feedback or would like to speak more, you can always reach out to us directly at advocacy@genesys.com.

    Thank you!

    Thanks for your response Kathryn.  I look forward to the features you are working on and will keep an eye out, hopefully you resolve the issues soon.

    On another note, will there be a mobile app coming (even if just to carry out the carousel tasks) similar to version 1.0 or, will tasks always be carried out via the browser?

    We don't have plans for a mobile app at the moment, but I'll share this feedback with the team. While completing our onboarding form, if you opted to receive text messages from GCAP, we can share available opportunities by texting you a direct link. These pages are mobile-friendly and can be opened in your mobile browser.

    I do...  

    I was a member of GCAP program for years using both GCAP web site and mobile app. Now I am trying to get my access to the new system, filled out  the form as an existing member on GCAP web page to setup my profile, got a confirmation email but I still don't have access to GCAP and nothing is listed in my community profile… What am I missing?  Already sent an email to (advocacy@Genesys.com) waiting for response for now...

    very different from previous by you posting here shows that you are already on

    Thanks

    Hey Senih,

    To add on to what Ziyaad said, the idea with the new GCAP is that you will be able to find and complete challenges on multiple sites. The community (this is site) is a starting point (challenges now available here), and more opportunities/challenges will be coming in the future. Hope the advocacy team can reply to your email if you had more specific questions.

    In terms of a mobile app, the community (this site) does not have a mobile app at this time, but the site is available in mobile web browsers. 

    Hope that helps with some of your questions.

    Cheers,

    Matt

    I also found it confusing, because even after you submit the "Join" form - despite being a returning member - it's still available to you.

    I'm kinda disappointed by the whole thing to be honest, I had enough points for like $100 in Amazon credit but I was just saving it up, and then logged in after Christmas to find it was all gone, and I can't redeem it any longer. Was there any advance notice given? I would have redeemed it already if I had known.

    Hi James,

    The form remains available to you, so if you would like to change or update your advocacy preferences, you can easily submit it again. We will merge your responses as long as you're using the same email address.

    We did have a GCAP moving sale in December. You can still use those points toward redeeming lifetime rewards, like Beyond exam vouchers or Genesys Professional Services packages. If there were particular items from the old GCAP rewards catalogue that you were saving up for, please send us an email at advocacy@genesys.com, and we will help get you sorted out.

    Thank you!
