Campaign Contact Lists: Overcoming Limitations with Smart Integrations

Overcoming Contact List Challenges and Enhancing Campaign Efficiency in Genesys Cloud

At Noralogix, we specialize in advanced Genesys Cloud integrations, particularly in optimizing and automating Campaign Contact Lists. While Genesys Cloud provides a robust outbound campaign framework, we have encountered and successfully overcome several limitations in its contact list management.

In this article, we will discuss these challenges and how our expertise helps streamline campaign processes for businesses using Genesys Cloud.

Understanding Contact List Limitations

Contact lists are a fundamental part of outbound campaigns in Genesys Cloud. However, managing them effectively requires careful planning due to some inherent restrictions:

• Contact list column updates are restricted – You cannot add or remove columns once a contact list is created. This can be a major hurdle if your data model evolves.
• Column limit of 50 – If your contact list requires more than 50 columns, you must restructure your data.
• Creating new contact lists is time-consuming – If your system integrates with multiple data sources, replacing a contact list means updating configurations across different systems, increasing development and maintenance efforts.

Automating Contact List Creation and Updates

Manually managing contact lists is impractical at scale. At Noralogix, we leverage the Genesys Cloud API to automate the entire lifecycle of contact lists and outbound campaigns.

• Using the Outbound API, we programmatically create campaigns and manage contact lists efficiently:
  • Create Outbound Campaign Guide
• To automate bulk contact list uploads, we utilize CSV file imports via API.

For seamless integration, we develop solutions primarily in C#, ensuring robust and efficient campaign management. Here’s an example of our approach:

Additionally, we have built a Raw Data Solution that exports campaign and contact list data daily to various storage solutions, including:

• Azure Storage
• Google Cloud Storage
• SQL Databases

Optimizing Call Rule Sets in Genesys Cloud

Genesys Cloud provides a Call Rule Set feature that allows businesses to define dynamic rules and actions based on contact data. This is a powerful tool for customizing campaign behavior, but it also has limitations:

• Data Action conditions cannot reference Campaign ID or Contact List ID – The only available identifier is Contact ID, making it difficult to apply global rules across campaigns.
• Solution: We created separate data actions for each campaign, ensuring precise rule execution.
• Only two data actions can be used per Call Rule Set – This limitation restricts complex rule configurations.
• Solution: We developed an Azure Function that combines multiple data actions into a single execution flow, enhancing the flexibility of Call Rule Sets.
