To use the integration, add one or more Genesys Cloud Function data actions integrations to your Genesys Cloud organization. Multiple integrations allow you to use different configurations and custom actions to act on data through different AWS Lambda functions.

Credentials

Your custom code within the Function is responsible for handling any authentication with external systems. Avoid storing credentials directly in your code. Instead, pass them securely into the Genesys Cloud Function data action during configuration. Credentials that are not stored within the code, reduce the risk of exposure. Easily update credentials through the integration configuration without modifying the code itself.

      • If you use Genesys Cloud certificates, then Genesys Cloud recommends establishing a trust relationship with the root CA, which renews and updates certificates automatically. Establishing the trust relationship with the CA ensures that no interruptions occur when new certificates are available. For more information, see MTLS support for data actions.
