Genesys Cloud CX is a suite of cloud-based services for enterprise communications, collaboration, and customer experience management.
The current Genesys Cloud Integration uses the Genesys Cloud API to provide near real-time ingestion of audio files created by the Genesys system.
Please note: Genesys Cloud CX integration with SBC recording and Genesys Cloud CX integration with AudioHook recording are not currently supported.
For a general description of Verba Import sources, please refer to Import sources.
Migration Support
The following modalities are supported: Voice only.
Creating a Genesys Import Source
Follow these steps in Genesys Cloud before creating a new VFC Import Source:
Step 1 - Open the Genesys Cloud Admin Page, navigate to Integrations > OAuth and press the Add Client button:
Step 2 - Select Grant Type Client Credentials. The Token Duration can be adjusted as required because it is renewed automatically by the VFC integration. Then click Save. The Client ID and Client Secret are automatically generated.
Step 3 - Open the ACR CRS Admin Page, navigate to System > Edit Layouts from the top menu. Click Copy and create a new segment based layout for the migration. Ensure Call Start Range Start Time is the only field in the left vertical column. Then click the checkbox and pencil in each of the horizontal column headings, selecting Start Time, Duration, UDFs, INUMs, Agents, Services, Skills and Other Parties from the field chooser popup.
Step 3 - From the Genesys Cloud Admin Page, navigate to Admin > Roles/Permissions and create a role for the OAuth integration to run under.
Each recording file is considered an object that is subject to access control at the user level. When a recording file is generated, the access control for the recording file is set based on the following criteria:
- Access control is set based on the agent that was recorded. Agents are organized as an agent hierarchy; for example, the hierarchy can be a reporting structure in an organization.
- Access control is set based on partitions. Partitions are set as a specific attached data in a call, and the attached data is typically set by a routing strategy.

Next, follow the steps in Verba to create a new Import source:
Step 1 - Open the Verba Web interface then select Data > Import Sources from the top menu
Step 2 - Click on the Add New Import Source link on the top right
Step 3 - Complete the configuration according to the requirements in the following table
Configuration Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Name your Import Source. This name will identify the source across the system. |
| Type | Select Genesys Cloud Import Source. |
| Client Id | Mandatory value copied from the Genesys Cloud OAuth Integration. |
| Client Secret | Mandatory value copied from the Genesys Cloud OAuth Integration. |
| Genesys Cloud API Authentication URL | Mandatory Genesys URL used when the Import Source obtains the Access Token, for example: http://login.usw2.pure.cloud |
| Genesys Cloud API URL | Mandatory Genesys URL used when the Import Source obtains recordings, for example: http://api.usw2.pure.cloud |
| TLS Certificate File / Thumbprint | Optional certificate file / certificate thumbprint used for the Genesys Cloud connection. |
| TLS Key File | Optional file system location where the certificate key is stored. |
| TLS Key Password | Specify the password for the file that contains the certificate keys. |
| TLS Trust List | Certificate chain (or Chain of Trust) is made up of a list of certificates that start from a server's certificate and terminate with the root certificate. If your server's certificate is to be trusted, its signature has to be traceable back to its root CA. |
| Transcoding by Genesys | Mandatory codec selection. Genesys transcodes to the specified codec before delivering audio to the Import Source. |
| Recording Timezone | Mandatory Import Source timezone as all Genesys times are in UTC. This ensures recordings are presented with the correct time. |
| Recording Start Timestamp | Mandatory timestamp of first audio to be recorded by the Import Source. |
| Import Batch Size (minutes) | Mandatory time to be added to Recording Start Timestamp in order to create a range used for retrieving audio from Genesys. |
| Genesys Cache Lifetime (minutes) | Mandatory time to store Genesys user information for performance reasons within the Import Source before it is automatically refreshed. |
On Completion Delete Recordings Stored in Genesys Cloud | Optional to make Verba the single recording source for search, replay, archive and analysis. |
Step 4 - Click Save to save the settings
Import Policy Configuration
Follow the steps below to configure the Data Import action:
Step 1 - In the Verba web interface, navigate to Data > Data Management Policies
Step 2 - Click on the Add New Data Management Policy button at the top-right corner of the page
Step 3 - For the action, select Data Import
Step 4 - Under Available Import Sources, select the Import Source that you created, then click on the Add button just below the text field
Step 5 - Configure the policy details, based on the information that is shown in the configuration items summary table below
Step 6 - Set up how frequently the Import should be run in the Scheduling section
Step 7 - Click on Save
Configuration Parameter Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Enable Recording Rules | Specifies if all data should be processed in the imported data set or just the records of the recorded users as configured in Verba |
| Execute Only on Selected Servers | If enabled, a specific server can be chosen that will run this policy |
Types of alerts raised by the ACR Import Source
Alert Message | Explanation |
