No Agents have answered the call
The customer will be pushed out of the Queue. We highly recommend setting up the correct prompts, and in case number of agents are less, consider re-add the customer in a different Queue.
If you’re adding it to the same Queue as loop back, add a delay and loop exit condition using Counter and Decision Box.
Timing and Agent Option
Ring Strategy : The logic to be followed for allocating call to various agents. There are four strategy supported.
Least Recent - The agent who was least recently called in queue is forwarded the call.
Round Robin Memory - Instead of ringing to every agent in the call at once, Round Robin Memory remembers where it left off the previous call and forwards the call to the next agent in the queue. This allows all agents in the queue to share equal number of calls. One of the major benefits of Round Robin Memory is that it allows the user to see the calls missed by the agents and not just by the queue.
Random - Calls ring extensions without a predefined priority, in a random order. This helps spread ring group calls evenly among the group, which can simulate queue behavior when a queue cannot be used.
Provided - Only the preferred agent mentioned during call list upload or in the ‘transfer call widget’ will be approached.
Max Queue wait time(in minute) : The time after which the customers waiting in the queue will get disconnected.
Timeout for agents (in seconds) : This is the time that the agent is allotted to answer the call before it is routed to the next agent in the queue. This time ranges from 15 to 45 seconds.
Retry Time (in seconds) : This is the time for which the system has to wait before connecting to other agent.
Agent Announcement : Announcement played to agent before the agent gets connected with the customer.
wrapWrap-up time (in seconds) : This is how many time should be given to agent after a successful call before assigning another call.
Allow availing extra time : When wrap up time gets over and if you enable this then the agent will be asked weather he wants extra time to fill disposition.
