This document provides detailed step-by-step instructions of the setup process to integrate the Kore AgentAssist widget in the Genesys environment.

Prerequisites

• Genesys Cloud account with Admin rights.
• Kore.ai AgentAssist instance.
• Familiarity with creating a Group in Genesys.
• Familiarity with creating a queue in Genesys.

Create a Queue

1. Sign in to Genesys Pure Cloud.
2. Go to Admin > Contact Center > Queues, or enter “queues” in the search bar under the Admin section and press the Enter key.
3. Click Create Queue. An empty page to create a new queue appears on the right side of the page.
   
   
4. Enter/select the following details in the Create Queue page:
   1. Name: Enter a unique name for the new queue.
   2. Division: Select a division in which you want to place this queue. 
   3. Copy settings and members from (Optional): Select an existing queue name, if you want to copy the settings and members from it.
   4. Peer Id (Optional) : Enter a unique ID that can be used to identify the queue from an external platform.
      
      
5. Click Save.

Enabling the Audio Monitoring toggle

To stream audio to third-party services, follow the below steps:

1. Sign in to Genesys Pure Cloud.
2. Go to Admin > Contact Center > Queues, or enter “queues” in the search bar under the Admin section and press the Enter key.
3. Click the intended queue name.
4. Click the Voice tab.
5. Enable the Audio Monitoring toggle.
   
   

Audio Monitoring: Voice settings on a Queue now have an additional Audio Monitoring option, separate from Voice Transcription. This allows granularity in what you turn on. The Audio Monitoring will be enabled in the queue, if Audiohook Monitor is enabled by the organization.

Manual Steps

After setting up the Genesys Cloud account, you must have proper permission to use the following Genesys components:

• OAuth Credentials
• Interaction Widget (Integration)
• Audiohook (Integration) – optional, if using Kore-managed Transcriptions.
• Data Table

Step 1: OAuth Credential

An OAuth credential with proper permissions is required for the connection between the Kore.ai AgentAssist interaction widget and the Kore.ai platform. 

A Genesys OAuth ID is required to complete the URL formation for the Genesys interaction widget.

Steps to get Genesys OAuth ID:

1. Sign in to Genesys Cloud.
2. Go to Admin > Integrations > OAuth.
   
   
3. Click Add Client.
   
   
4. Enter the app name, description, and token duration in the App Name, Description, and Token Duration fields.
5. Select Token Implicit Grant (Browser) in the Grant Types fields.
6. Add https://agentassist.kore.ai/koreaiaa-genesys/ in the Authorized redirect URIs (one per line) section.
7. Add the following list of scopes in the Scope section:

• architect
• conversations
• conversations:readonly
• integrations
• integrations:readonly
• messaging
• messaging-platform
• messaging-platform:readonly
• messaging:readonly
• notifications
• user-basic-info
• web-chat
• web-chat:readonly

After saving the configuration, you will get the Client Id of the created OAuth client. Copy the ID and have it available for Step 2.

Step 2: Interaction Widget

Create a new Interaction Widget. This widget is hosted in the Genesys agent desktop and provides the AgentAssist solution features to agents.

1. Sign in to Genesys Cloud.
2. Click Admin > Integrations.
   
   
3. If you have not created an Interaction Widget for AgentAssist, install a new Interaction Widget by clicking the Integrations tab on the right side of the page.
    
4. Name the Interaction Widget with a meaningful name, such as KoreaiAA Interaction Widget.
5. Open the Interaction Widget by clicking the name.
   
   
6. Go to the Configuration tab of the Interaction Widget.
   
   
7. In the Application URL field, enter the following structure; use the OAuth ID from Step 1.
   https://agentassist.kore.ai/koreaiaa-genesys/?conversationid={{gcConversationId}}&lang={{gcLangTag}}&environment={{gcHostOrigin}}&genesysid=<genesys-oauth-Id>
8. Allow all permissions in iFrame Sandbox Options and iFrame Feature/Permission Policy.
   
   iFrame Sandbox Options: allow-forms,allow-modals,allow-popups,allow-presentation,allow-same-origin,allow-scripts,allow-downloads.
   
   iFrame Feature/Permission Policy: camera,microphone,geolocation,clipboard-write,display-capture,fullscreen.
   
   Communication Type Filtering: chat and call.

Step 3: Agent Access

To view the Interaction Widget, agents must have the following accesses:

Group Membership

An Interaction Widget uses Group Membership to determine who can view it on the agent desktop.

1. Use an existing Group, if your agents are already part of it. Otherwise, create a new Group for AgentAssist permission.
2. Name the Group as KoreAA-Agents or similar to distinguish it.
3. Add any agent to allow them to use the AgentAssist functionality. You can utilize more than one Group, if required.
4. Go back to the Integrations section and open the Interaction Widget created in Step 2. 
5. On the Configuration tab, add access using the Group you identified or created for AgentAssist in the Group Filtering option.
   You may also utilize Queue Filtering (optional).
   
   

Custom Role/Permission

By default, most agents don’t have access to read from a Data Table. You must grant them explicit permission to read from the Data Table for loading the Interaction Widget.

1. Sign in to Genesys Cloud.
2. Go to Admin > People & Permissions > Roles / Permissions.
3. Click Add Role to create a new Role.
4. Give a distinctive name to the Role; for example, KoreaiAA Agent.
5. On the Permission tab, search for the following and add (select the box):
   Architect > DataTable > View
   Conversation > Transcription > View
   Note: The Conversation permission is available only in CX3 license.
6. Once finished, the Assigned Permissions view should look like this:
   
   
7. Once the Role is created, click the three dots at the right end of the Permission role and select Change Membership. Add the appropriate agents to the role.

Step 4: Data Table Configuration

This step includes creation of a Data Table with AgentAssist bot details.

Note: The configuration data is stored directly in the Custom Fields of the Data Table, not in a Data Table row. A single Data Table represents a configuration of AgentAssist. In other words, the Default Values of the Custom Fields contain the necessary configuration data to load the AgentAssist widget.

1. Sign in to Genesys Cloud.
2. Go to Admin > Architect > Data Tables.
   
   
3. Create a new Data Table by clicking on the plus icon and provide a relevant name, such as KoreaiAA-configuration.
   
   
4. Click the “three dots” and select Edit Table Fields from the list.
   
   Note: Reference Key label must be set to “agentAssist”. This is the value used by the Interaction Widget to load the configuration data.
5. Click Add Field to create five custom fields to provide the AgentAssist configuration.
   
   
6. Click the Add Field button under Custom Fields.
   Set the data type for all custom fields as String while adding.
   
   
7. Add the custom fields with Bot details.
   
   
8. Follow the below conventions for other custom fields. Use the exact names, including upper/lower case.
   
   These values are found in the Channels section of the AgentAssist configuration portal.

Field Label	Default Value
AgentAssist URL	https://agentassist.kore.ai
Bot Id	st-8cb94691-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxx
Client Id	cs-b60f544d-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
Client Secret	<secret-key from AgentAssist>
is Audiohook Enabled	true / false

Note:

1. All the custom fields should be of the string type.
2. If the is Audiohook Enabled option is false, the application tries to utilize the Genesys native transcriptions using the Transcriptions API.

To change the values, you must click the gray box surrounding each Custom Field, not directly on the textbox.

Step 5 (Optional): Audiohook Integration

The final step is to install Audiohook for voice streaming, if using Kore-managed Transcriptions.

1. Sign in to Genesys Cloud.
2. Go to Admin > Integrations > Integrations.
   
   
   
   The Audiohook integration requires specific configuration values to support AgentAssist configuration.
3. Install a new audiohook app by clicking the Integrations button on the top-right corner.
   
   
   
4. Open the Audiohook and go to the Configuration tab.
   
   
   1. Channel value should be both.
   2. The Connection URI format should be similar to the following:
      wss://savg-webserver.kore.ai/audiosocket/genesys/?sipuri=xxx&token=xxx&botId=xxx&accountId=xxx&agentassist=true
5. Get sipuri=sip:<sip-string> from AgentAssist > Voice channel.
   
   
6. Use the following reference from AgentAssist.kore.ai, Bot Channel configuration page to fetch Bot ID, Account ID, Client ID, and Client Secret (for token generation).
   
   
   1. Follow the steps of Using XO Platform APIs – Kore.ai Documentation to generate the token (token= <token>.)
7. Add credentials in the Credentials tab.
   
   
   1. Refer to Step-4 and use Bot Client ID and Client Secret as API Key and Client Secret respectively.
   2. These credentials are used to validate the audiostream signature by Kore.
8. Click Save.

Step 6: Architect

When a call comes to a Genesys number, it passes through an architect flow. If you do not have an ACD architect flow for the queue, create one by following this sample:

1. Sign in to Genesys Cloud.
2. Go to Admin > Architect > Architect.
   
   
   
3. Click the +Add button to create an Inbound Call Flow.
   
   
4. Click Create Flow.
   1. The final architect flow looks like the following screenshot:
      
      

Note: 

1. Inside the Transfer to ACD node, select the queue name where you want to transfer the call.
2. The Transcription node is optional if you have already enabled Voice Transcription and Audio Monitoring in the queue level voice configuration.
3. Architect flow is required as a mandatory step, as it directs the incoming call to the Genesys agent desktop.
