Managing a Call Queue

Overview

Queue owners are responsible for managing who receives calls and how those calls are handled.

Managing Members

Queue owners can:

  • Add new agents
  • Remove agents
  • Configure agent participation
  • Review queue assignments

Changes typically take effect within several minutes.

Managing Greetings

Greetings allow departments to provide information before callers reach an agent.

Examples include:

"Thank you for calling the IT department."

"Please stay on the line and the next available representative will assist you."

Owners may upload recordings or use text-to-speech greetings.

Configuring Business Hours

Hours are determined on how calls are handled during open and closed periods.

Queue owners may configure:

  • Open hours
  • Closed hours
  • Holiday schedules
  • After-hours routing
