Release notes for the Genesys Cloud data actions integration

View summary

This article describes all releases of the Genesys Cloud data actions integration.

April 7, 2025

• Configurable timeout for data actions

  Administrators can now configure the execution timeout setting for data actions. The timeout can be set between 1 and 60 seconds, with a default of 60 seconds. When an HTTP request runs longer than the configured time, the data action returns a timeout response. This feature helps improve control over data action timeouts, prevents long-running processes, and reduces unnecessary concurrency usage: Add configuration to custom actions for integrations and How many seconds before a data action times out?.
