Create Customer Block

Use to create a callflow/workflow that includes the capability to create a customer profile through Context Services. Example use cases:

  • The application queried Context Services, which did not have a record for this customer.
  • The application wants to create customer preference data (last agent used, language preference, preferred agent, contact media preference and ordering, contact address information, etc.) to optimize and personalize the any future processing associated with the customer.

In order to use this block in a callflow, you must have Media Control Platform (MCP) 8.1.300.76+ installed.

Tip
If using Context Services 8.5, the database for service/state information is the Genesys Mobile Services database. If using Context Services 8.1, the database for service/state information is the Universal Contact Server database. For more information, see General Guidelines for Context Services Preferences.
