Yellow.ai connects with Genesys Purecloud Live, enabling users to interact with live agents. This integration helps by linking live agents from your Genesys Purecloud account with users assisted by your yellow.ai bot.

Prerequisites

  1. An active Geneysys Purecloud live account
  2. An active Yellow.ai account

Only text and images are being supported from both the user and agent side.

Obtain integration credentials from Genesys Purecloud

To connect your Yellow.ai platform with Genesys Purecloud account, you need to perform the following actions in your Genesys Purecloud account to obtain the credentials to input in your Yellow.ai platform.

Step 1: Create a user role

Create a custom role with certain scopes and assign that custom role to the user profile responsible for handling incoming chats from yellow.ai bot. To do so:

  1. Go to Admin > Roles/ Permissions.

  2. Click +Add role.

  3. In Role Details enter a name for the role and describe it. Click Permissions and enable the below mentioned scopes for the role. You can search for the scopes in the highlighted search box and click Save.

  • Messaging > Integration > All Permissions

  • Conversation > Message > All Permissions

  • Process Automation > Trigger > All Permissions

  1. Go to People and click the ellipsis button beside the name of the individual for whom the role was created. Click Edit Person.

  1. Choose All under View, enable the custom role you created in step 3 and click Save. By this way you assign the role to the respective person.

Step 2: Create an OAuth client

You need to create an OAuth client to retrieve Client ID and Client secret for your Genesys login. This OAuth client is created for the role you created in the previous step.

  1. Go to Admin > Integrations > OAuth.

  2. Click + Add client.

  3. Enter a name for your app and choose Client Credentials under Grant type.

  4. Go to Roles and choose the custom role you created in the previous section.

  5. Click Save.

    OAuth client gets created. Copy the Client ID and Client Secret.

Step 3: Add Yellow.ai's webhook in Genesys

You need to create an integration to add Yellow.ai's webhook in Genesys. This helps Genesys to inform the Yellow.ai bot about user chat actions, such as drop-offs, responses, or chat endings.

  1. Go to Admin > Message > Platforms > + Create new integration > Open Messaging.

  2. Fill in the following fields:

  • In Name, enter a name for your integration.
  • In Outbound Notification Webhook URL, enter https://cloud.yellow.ai/ or any test URL.

A webhook is generated once the integration is established in Yellow.ai. Initially, you can provide a test URL to configure the integration. After setting it up, we'll retrieve the webhook from Yellow.ai. We will show the process in the upcoming steps.

iii. In Outbound Notification Webhook Signature Secret Token, enter an integration ID and click Save.

  1. Once you save, your integration ID will be generated. Copy it from the URL.

Step 4: Add a message route

Message route helps in rotuing the messages from bot to the live agent on Genesys.

  1. Create a flow in Genesys Purecloud. This flow should be based on the process the chat should reach the agent. Click here for steps.

  2. After creating the flow, go to Admin > Routing > Message Routing.

  3. Click + in right corner.

  4. Select the flow you created in 1 and in Addresses select the integration you created in the previous step. Click Save.

Enter the Client ID, Client Secret and integration ID obtained from the previous sections.

  1. Go to cloud.yellow.ai > Integrations > search for Genesys Purecloud Live.

  1. Fill in the following fields:
  • Give account name: Provide a name to your account.
  • Host URL: The URL of your genesys account.
  • Client ID: Client obtained in Step 2.
  • Client Secret: Client Secret obtained in Step 2.
  • Integration ID: Integration ID obtained in Step 3.
  1. Click Connect.

  2. Once the integration is setup, copy the Webhook URL by clicking on it.

  3. Go to your Genesys Purecloud Live account > Admin > Message > Platforms > integration you created in Step 3. > Configure

  4. Paste the copied Webhook in Outbound Notification Webhook URL and click Save.
