Answer the user's question using only the relevant section. Don't dump the full reference. ## Step 4 — Actionable guidance You no longer need the platform guide — focus on the user's specific situation. - **Tier selection**: Match tier to actual needs — CX 1 is fine for voice-only, but WFM requires CX 3. AI features (predictive routing, agent assist) require CX 4. Don't overbuy. - **Implementation**: Expect months for enterprise deployments. Start with voice routing, add channels incrementally. Use Genesys's PureBridge migration program if moving from on-prem. - **API integration**: Use Platform Client SDKs (JS, Python, Java, Go, .NET, iOS) over raw REST for faster development. Regional base URLs matter — match to your org's region. - **Cost management**: Watch telephony minute costs (separate from seat licenses). Named user licensing means you pay for inactive users too. Negotiate multi-year for better rates. - **AppFoundry**: Check AppFoundry marketplace before building custom integrations — 450+ apps cover most common needs. If you discover a gotcha, workaround, or tip not covered in `references/learnings.md`, append it there. ## Gotchas > *Best-effort from research — review these, especially items about plan-gated features and integration gotchas that may be outdated.* - **Telephony costs are separate** — seat licenses don't include voice minutes. Inbound DID ~$0.009/min, toll-free ~$0.015/min, outbound US ~$0.0119/min. Budget separately. - **Named user licensing** — you pay for every licensed user whether they log in or not. No concurrent licensing option. - **AI features are CX 4 only** — predictive routing, agent assist, journey analytics, and knowledge management all require the $240/user/mo tier. Usage-based AI add-ons cost extra. - **WFM can't build multi-site schedules simultaneously** — build schedules for each site one at a time in the scenario. - **Developer Center is JS-rendered** — API Explorer and docs require JavaScript. CLI tool (`gc`) available as alternative for scripting. - **Service reliability** — 10 incidents in 90 days reported (6 major, 4 minor). UAE region experienced extended disruption. Monitor status.mypurecloud.com. - **Implementation timeline** — enterprise deployments take months, not weeks. Budget for professional services or partner engagement. - **OAuth Implicit Grant deprecation** — being removed May 2026. Migrate to Code Authorization or Client Credentials. ## Related skills - `/sales-ccaas-selection` — Comparing Genesys vs NICE CXone vs Talkdesk vs Five9?

Monitor status.mypurecloud.com for regional outages. Test with Genesys Network Readiness Assessment tool. Audio issues correlate with browser version — keep Chrome/Edge updated. **Dashboard navigation confusing — can't find missed calls or texts** Genesys Cloud UI organizes by interactions, not by channel. Use Performance > Interactions view with filters for missed/abandoned. For texts, check ACD > Digital > Message Interactions. Custom dashboards via Analytics API provide more flexible views than the built-in UI. **MFA management — users locked out, can't clear devices** Ensure admin has MFA management permissions (Directory > User > Edit MFA). For users who lost their MFA device, admin can reset via User Management > Users > find user > clear MFA. If globally disabled but offered individually, contact Genesys Product Support for reset.
