Summary
Following the deprecation announcements issued on January 24, 2024 (Version 1) and July 15, 2024 (Version 2), Genesys Cloud announces the permanent removal of all ACD Web Chat APIs and associated Web Chat widget resources, effective August 10, 2026.
Version 1 announcement : Deprecation: Removal of ACD Web Chat
Version 2 announcement : Deprecation: Predictive Engagement Support for ACD Web Chat
Effective Date
Monday, August 10, 2026
Details
ACD Web Chat has been superseded by Web Messaging, which provides improved performance, scalability, analytics, omnichannel capabilities, and an enhanced customer experience.
Consolidating on Web Messaging reduces platform maintenance, improves overall code quality, and enables continued investment in Genesys Cloud messaging capabilities.
Migration guidance is available in the Resource Center:

Customer Impact
All ACD Web Chat APIs have been blocked since March 2026. Customer usage metrics indicate zero active requests and no reported service issues. Customers have successfully migrated to Web Messaging or alternative supported solutions.
Effective August 10, 2026, the deprecated APIs and widget resources will be permanently removed.
No customer impact.
