    Please note that we have temporarily rolled back a recent improvement to the Inactivity Timeout feature.

    Customers reported that the change to exclude certain API calls from resetting the timer caused some agents to be disconnected from interactions. In response we have decided to roll that change back temporarily until we can mitigate the issue.

    We are aiming to have the feature re-enabled soon. Please watch this post for updates - we will let you know when we toggle the feature back on.

    We apologize for any inconvenience.

    Update: we are not able to roll forward this feature without reintroducing customer impact. We are currently evaluating other options to improve the Inactivity Timeout feature.

    Hi Lee, please note that the feature itself is still available - we only rolled back an enhancement to exclude certain API calls, because we received multiple reports of conversations being ended mid-interaction. There is no way to reintroduce the initial round of improvements without reintroducing the impact to open interactions. Instead, we will build out controls that customers can use to exclude certain API calls if they choose to accept the potential impact to ongoing interactions. I hope to introduce this new feature set later this year.

    Hi, my name is David Murray and I've recently joined the Genesys Product Management team.  I am taking on responsibility for implementing improvements to the Inactivity Timeout Feature.  I will be reviewing the implementation with the Development Team to determine how we make improvements to the feature without incurring the unintended side effects.  Keep an eye out for further updates.

    Hi Vincent,

    This item has taken a lot longer to bring to conclusion than I would have originally hoped but the good news is that the development work on this has been completed.  I'm just waiting on a deployment for the final UI changes to production environments.  At that point, we will conduct a final QA test to ensure there are no issues prior to releasing to customers.  With the upcoming end of year lockdown approaching, my expectation is that the release will occur in mid January.  

    I've copied below a screenshot of the implementation, which enables admins to fine-tune the Inactivity Timeout feature by excluding any background API calls that are causing the inactivity timer to reset.  There are a default/recommended set to APIs which the admin can simply enable.  These are the APIs that were included in the enhancement that we rolled back previously as this enhancement was causing an issue for some customers.  However, our expectation is that excluding these APIs will address the issue for most customers.  But, if it doesn't fully resolve the issue, admins can then review the HAR logs to identify any remaining background APIs and add them to the exclusion list.

    UI changes for Inactivity Timeout

    @David Murray

    Thank you for the update, we are excited to hear that work is moving to enhance this feature.  Are you looking to change the status of the idea that was submitted? The current status is "Will Not Implement"

    Hi @David Murray

    Thank you for the update, I also just received email on the idea status change. This is a very exciting feature that we have been waiting as agent not logging out properly has been an issue since we migrated.
