Looking for advice on Digital Channel Capacity in WFM Schedules

  • Looking for advice on integrating digital messaging capacity into our weekly WFM schedule publication process.
  • Currently publishing schedules for the Chicago cluster using the standard Genesys Cloud WFM interface.
  • Need to ensure agents are only available for Pure Cloud Engage (formerly Pure Cloud Messaging) during their scheduled shifts.
  • Observing a discrepancy where agents marked as “Available” in WFM are still receiving digital messages during their designated “Unavailable” or “Break” periods.
  • Attempted to configure the WFM schedule status mapping in the Architect flow but the digital channel does not respect the WFM “Available” status change.
  • Specifically checking if there is a native integration between WFM schedule adherence and the Digital Engagement routing strategy.
  • Want to prevent agents from being overwhelmed with chat requests while they are officially off the clock according to the WFM schedule.
  • Using the latest version of the WFM application and standard Digital Engagement settings.
  • Any configuration steps to link WFM schedule status directly to digital channel availability would be greatly appreciated.
  • Goal is to automate the shift swap and time-off reflection in real-time digital routing without manual intervention.
