Customer Care
Genesys Cloud's comprehensive support system operates through a 24/7/365 global service model with multiple tiers and severity levels. Support access ranges from free self-service resources to licensed subscription-based web portal access and phone support through Collaborate, Communicate, and Genesys Cloud CX 1-4 packages. The platform implements a three-tier severity framework: Critical (Level 1) for complete business function failures, High (Level 2) for degraded performance, and Medium (Level 3) for non-critical issues with workarounds. Response times vary by severity, with Critical issues receiving 10-minute phone response and others getting 2-hour portal responses. Platform restoration targets range from 4 hours for Critical issues to 2 business days for High severity cases. Designated contacts must provide organization details, conduct preliminary troubleshooting, and maintain active engagement throughout case management. Cases follow strict closure policies, closing after three business days without response. Root Cause Analysis documentation is provided within five business days for Severity 1 platform incidents, while non-platform issues receive Case Summaries. System status monitoring is available at status.mypurecloud.com, with special support models existing for US-only and EEA-only customers. Recent updates include terminology changes, revised severity levels, and modified escalation procedures to align with Service Level Agreements.
