Respond to Social Media Interactions (Genesys Cloud)

### Summary

Accepting and responding to **social media interactions** in Genesys Cloud allows agents to engage with customers through social platforms such as **Facebook, X (Twitter), Instagram, or other supported social integrations**. These interactions are routed to agents through queues, similar to voice or messaging interactions, and can be managed directly within the **Agent Workspace**.

Social media interactions enable organizations to respond to customer inquiries, complaints, or feedback posted on social platforms while maintaining structured routing, tracking, and reporting within the contact center environment.
