    What API is being used when manually switching channels through the client interface? https://help.mypurecloud.com/articles/switch-channels-for-an-interaction/ I would like to mimic this behavior through code so we can keep the conversation details together?

    Thanks

    Hello,

    There is no new/specific API for this. It is just a UI thing. I mean that when you receive an incoming conversation (email, chat, voice) and you have identified the customer External Contact (if saved/defined in Genesys Cloud), the Genesys Desktop extracts the external contact information. And if it has an email address, phone numbers, ... set, the UI just allow you to create a conversation to the user (initiating a phone conversation to the selected number, initiating an email to the selected address, ...).

    Regards,

    So those conversations will be totally separate conversations with the only "foreign Key" being the Contact to tie them together?

    Yes. As far as I understand. There is no multi-media channel grouping of conversations. I mean the Conversations and Conversation API have not changed their behavior.
