  • 1.  Remove the Call Decline option

    Posted 21 hours ago

    Dear Team,

    Is there any option to fulfill the below requirement other than enabling Auto Answer?

    1. Call Decline Option

      • Remove the Decline option from incoming call notifications.
      • Keep only the Answer option available to users.

    #Routing(ACD/IVR)

    Hi Muhammed,

    From my understanding, I don't believe there's a native option to remove the Decline button while leaving Answer available.

    The available options are generally:

    • Enable Auto Answer, which removes the need for agents to manually answer.
    • Leave the standard incoming interaction notification, which includes both Answer and Decline.

    I haven't come across a setting that allows only the Answer button to be displayed. Hopefully someone from Genesys can confirm if there's a newer capability or workaround that I've missed.

    Hi Muhammed,

    Based on the current Genesys Cloud CX capabilities, there is no native option to remove the Decline button while keeping only Answer in the standard web agent interface. Incoming call notifications are designed to include both options by default.

    Alternative: If the goal is to prevent agents from rejecting calls, the closest native alternative is to enable Auto Answer, which automatically delivers calls to agents without requiring them to click Answer.

    Even if you were able to remove the Decline option, the agent can still end up in Not Responding if they let the call ring out.  

    Sometimes technology isn't always the solution to people management.  Your Supervisors/Leaders can report on Agents Not Responding. 

    In the past, we've moved select staff onto Auto Answer for going into not responding too many times as part of performance management.  Might also be worth understanding what the issue is relating to the Agent declining calls or not answering them?

    This made me curious, does clicking decline on an incoming call put the agent into not responding status the same as if they had let the call ring for 30 seconds and they get put into not responding status.

    Hi Bruce,

    From my understanding, clicking Decline and allowing the interaction to ring until the Alerting Timeout expires both place the agent into Not Responding status and return the interaction to the queue.  

    If your goal is to report on or distinguish between agents who actively clicked Decline versus those who simply didn't answer, there is currently no native metric to differentiate the two. However, there is an existing Product Idea requesting this enhancement, and it's currently In Development, so hopefully we'll see this capability in a future release.
