Unavailable codes Reasons agents aren't able to take contests. in CXone are unavailable states The availability status of an agent. that are assigned to teams. Previously, when creating a presence rule, you mapped the states between CXone and Salesforce. You also assigned the presence rule to a team. When doing so, CXone validated that the team was assigned the CXone unavailable code. This could lead to a lot of manual work for enterprise organizations with many teams and unavailable codes.

In this release, you can ignore the team validation for presence rules with Salesforce. This allows any unavailable code to be assigned to any team. If an agent changes their state to one that isn't assigned to their team, their state changes to the default Unavailable state.

You can enable and disable this feature with a new toggle on the rule creation page. When enabled, the validation does not occur and you can assign any presence rule to the team.
