You would basically be using the current time as a random number generator.
If the last digits are 0,1,2 or 3 (=40% of the time) you would send the Interaction to the BPO.
So if the current time is e.g. 2021-05-28T13:16:00.923Z
The last digit is a 3, so send the Interaction to the BPO.

Hi Annie,
There is another trick to get this done assuming it doesn't need to be accurate to the call:
With every incoming Interaction check what time it is. Take the last digit. If it's 0-3 send the Interaction to the BPO, otherwise send it to the queue to achieve your 40% forwarding goal.

Is it possible to define a call forwarding rule base on call volume, say if set 40% call forwarding, then 40% of the call will be diverted to external number (define in the data table); while 60% will remain in Genesys flow.
No specific requirement on the call distribution, it can be something like for every 3 calls, 1 call go to BPO and then 2 calls stay in Genesys; or within 1 hour, 40% call go to BPO and then 60% calls stay in Genesys.
Apparently this is a very typical business rule for call distribution to BPO and common functionality in many call center platform. I was being challenged when I mentioned I don't see this functionality in Genesys Architect flow. So I would like to seek other expert opinion whether this requirement can be catered in architect flow (either OOTB or customization). Thanks.
brgds, Annie
