Action maps

An action map represents the steps Genesys Predictive Engagement will take when a customer satisfies the criteria you specify.

About action maps

An action map represents the steps that Genesys Predictive Engagement takes to steer your customers towards a particular business outcome. For example, you can create an action map that presents a chat to visitors who go to the page for your current promotional campaign. The chat might ask the customer whether they want to talk directly with someone in sales who could then help them complete their purchase.

When you create an action map, you define what triggers it. The types of triggers that you can define are:

• Who the customer is (what group or "segment" the customer belongs to)
• What actions the customer takes on your website

In addition, Genesys Predictive Engagement automatically triggers action maps based on outcome probability scores.

Important

You can use any number and combination of triggers for your action map. The more triggers that you use, the more targeted the action map becomes.

Prerequisites

Before you create action maps:

• Create segments.
• Create outcomes.

Design action maps

When you design action maps, consider the following points:

• If a customer is progressing towards a business outcome, do not impede their progress by popping an unnecessary chat window. Intervene only when a customer's activity indicates that they are no longer on track to achieve the outcome you want.
• Genesys Predictive Engagement automatically tracks when a customer does any of the following things:
  • Completes fields in a form
  • Searches for something
  • Responds to a chat offer
  • Does not respond to a chat offer
  • Initially responds to a chat offer but then remains inactive until the offer times out
• Genesys Predictive Engagement can also track custom events that you define. You can then configure the action map to trigger if one of these custom events occurs. For example:
  • A customer adds an item to their shopping cart but then removed items or abandoned the shopping cart
