Before you create external queues:

Create external queues within the ServiceNow platform that map back to the Genesys queues to facilitate external routing. With the setup of Unified Experience from Genesys and ServiceNow integration, administrators can now create queues in ServiceNow that are externally routed to Genesys Cloud. When you create a queue in ServiceNow, select the following options:

  • Service channel – Phone
  • Condition mode – Simple
  • Work item routing condition – Type > is > Phone
  • External – Select the option. Under the External third-party routing section, enter the queue ID:

Configure the Unified Experience integration in Genesys Cloud to set a default voice queue. You can use any phone queue and this configuration does not impact other queues.

Retrieve the sys_id of the external queue that you created in ServiceNow.
