Social Media Plugin for Workspace Desktop Edition

Overview

Genesys provides a plugin that adds functionality to Workspace Desktop Edition, enabling agents to handle social media interactions.

Outline of Deployment

Important
The 8.5.0 release of Social Media Plugin for Workspace Desktop Edition for Social Media requires Workspace 8.5.1 or later.
  1. Configure Interaction Workspace. Note that to use role-based access control, you must use Genesys Administrator to configure Workspace Desktop Edition and the plugin.
  2. Install Interaction Workspace using the non-ClickOnce deployment procedure, also known as "installing the Interaction Workspace Application."
    Tip
    The social media plugin does not support ClickOnce deployment.
  3. Configure and install the social media plugin, being sure that your configuration procedure includes importing the template and metadata for the plugin (see Genesys Administrator 8.1 Help for information on importing metadata). This makes roles and other required items available.
  4. Assign privileges, if you are using role-based access control.
    • You must assign all Workitem privileges. The plugin does not support unassigned Workitem privileges.
    • Assign <socialmedia> privileges.
  5. Provide values for the configuration options that you added to your Interaction Workspace Application, as described in the next section of this page.

Setting Options

This section provides an outline of the options for the Social Media plugin. Full descriptions of all options can be found in the eServices 8.5 Reference Manual. Some options are similar enough for all media that they can be described together. In the following descriptions, <media-type> substitutes for twitter, facebook, facebooksession, or rss. For example, <media-type>.response-wait-time stands for facebook.response-wait-time, facebooksession.response-wait-time, rss.response-wait-time,and twitter.response-wait-time. All options are located in the interaction-workspace section.
