Engage Voice | Intro to phone books
Last updated on June 30, 2021

You may find that agents will occasionally need to transfer inbound and outbound calls to certain external destinations — that is, destinations outside of the system. These destinations can include DID phone numbers and SIP numbers.
If you’d like to streamline your process and make it easier for agents to access commonly used destinations, you can enter and save those destinations into your inbound queue or campaign’s dedicated phone book so they can be accessed by agents dialing on those queues and campaigns.
Different types of phone books
You can also create phone book entries that are global — that is, available to all agents on your account — (according to your settings configuration) across all queues and campaigns. These global phone book entries can be created and configured at any time via the Phone Book tray setting under Agent Tools.
Now, as noted above, each queue or campaign will also have its own dedicated phone book. Please note that phone book entries created at the queue and campaign level will only be available within the queue or campaign in which they were created — they won’t be available anywhere else. Only entries created at the global phone book level will be available across all queues/campaigns.
To configure corporate and/or contact center extensions (agents and supervisors), read Configuring the corporate directory.
