Engage Voice | Creating an inbound queue

Inbound queues are grouped within queue groups and act as the location to which calls are routed. Inbound queues can be configured to provide a specific experience you wish each customer to have while they’re waiting for an agent to take their call.

You can configure settings like Queue Events to decide what customers will hear while waiting, including the hold music they’ll hear, their total wait time in queue, and more.

Queue configuration options

The system offers a variety of options to help you create your desired inbound call flows. You can find these settings in the queue’s configuration panel.

General: Use this option to configure all general settings for your queue, like the queue priority, call recording settings, audio settings, and more.
Schedule: Use this option to configure your daily queue schedule.
Queue Events: Use this option to configure the experience customers will have while in queue, such as the hold music or recorded information they might hear.
Agent Access: Use this option to assign agents to your queue.
DNIS Assignment: Use this option to assign a queue-specific DNIS number.
Dispositions: Use this option to manage your queue agent dispositions.
Requeue Shortcuts: Use this option to create shortcuts your agents can use to place customers in another queue.
Phone book: Use this option to create and manage queue-specific phonebook entries.
Special ANI: Use this option to configure special routing priority for a designated group of customers.
