Omnichannel Communication System
Omnichannel Communication System: The Power of Genesys Cloud CX Integrated with Salesforce for Seamless Experiences
In modern business, "Omnichannel" is more than simply offering multiple contact options; it’s about unifying those channels so they work together, creating a single, cohesive conversation flow regardless of the touchpoint.
What is an Omnichannel Communication System?
An Omnichannel Communication System is a platform where all customer communication channels—including Voice, Email, Live Chat, SMS, and Third-Party Messaging (like WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger)—are managed under one roof. This ensures the customer journey is continuous, and customer context is preserved and transferred across every channel switch.
Genesys Cloud CX is a global leader in this space, acting as the Experience Orchestration Platform that ingests all interactions into its intelligent routing engine.
Achieving True Omnichannel: CX Cloud from Genesys and Salesforce
The key to a successful Omnichannel experience is complete customer context, which resides within the CRM system, Salesforce. The deep native integration, known as CX Cloud from Genesys and Salesforce, combines the power of CCaaS and CRM to deliver a truly unified experience.
Centralized Channels in a Single Workspace
- Unified Agent Workspace: Agents no longer need to switch applications to handle different channels. Genesys Cloud CX embeds all communication channels, call controls, and digital interaction widgets directly into the Salesforce Service Cloud console.
- Synchronized Status Management: The solution automatically synchronizes agent presence status between Genesys Cloud CX and Salesforce Omni-Channel, ensuring agents are not double-routed and that routing decisions are based on accurate, real-time availability across all channels.
Driving Omnichannel Routing with CRM Context
- Smarter Intelligent Routing: The Genesys Cloud CX Omnichannel engine leverages rich CRM data from Salesforce (such as customer tier, case history, or sales status) to make strategic routing decisions for both Voice and Digital interactions, ensuring customers are connected to the agent with the most relevant skill set.
- Contextual Screen Pops: Whether the customer contacts via phone, chat, or email, the relevant customer record (Account, latest Case) from Salesforce is instantly presented (Screen Pop), empowering the agent to deliver a personalized response immediately.
Seamless Customer Journey and Data Continuity
- Contextual Handoffs: If a customer switches channels—for example, starting a chat and later calling—the agent receiving the call sees the entire prior digital conversation history within Salesforce. This eliminates the need for customers to repeat themselves.
- Automated Activity Logging: Every interaction handled through Genesys Cloud CX (calls, messages, emails) is automatically logged as an activity on the correct customer record within Salesforce, guaranteeing that the CRM data is always current and comprehensive.
