Deprecation: Website-only web chat configuration

Category: Web Chat

Summary: On October 31, 2018, Genesys is removing the website-only method of web chat configuration. We recently released the deployment model that allows for web chat configuration from within the PureCloud admin interface. This new method is more efficient and provides new options and capabilities. We ask that customers begin using the new web chat deployments when configuring web chat on their website. We will discontinue development and support of the website-only configuration option for web chat on October 31, 2018. You can still use web chat when configured without web chat deployments until the end of life date on October 31, 2018.

Impact: Current web chat implementations must be upgraded to the new web chat deployment model prior to 10/31/2018. Web chat implementations not upgraded by 10/31/2018 will cease to function.

Date of Change: 10/31/2018

Impacted APIs: Web chat

Tim,

Do you know if a customer today decided to deploy chat if they would be forced to use the new model? Or will that only be enforced on 10/31?

Thanks

AG

They will be forced to use the new model on 10/31 even if they deploy chat today. The old mechanism will no longer work at 10/31.
