Advanced Call Queues
Enterprise-grade call queuing with 7 distribution strategies, real-time agent management (login/logout, pause, skills), live supervision dashboard, SLA metrics, position announcements, callback options and comprehensive historical statistics.
⚙️How it works
Create queues and choose from 7 distribution strategies: ringall (all agents ring simultaneously), leastrecent (agent who received a call least recently), fewestcalls (agent with fewest completed calls), random (random agent selection), rrmemory (round-robin with memory of last agent), linear (fixed order), wrandom (weighted random based on agent priority)
Add agents as queue members with individual skills, priority levels and penalty weights for fine-grained routing
Agents log in and out of queues dynamically — from the web panel, mobile app or physical phone
Agents can pause themselves with a reason code (break, lunch, meeting, training) and resume when ready
Callers hear customizable hold music and periodic position announcements: their queue position and estimated wait time
SLA metrics track service level targets: percentage of calls answered within a defined threshold (e.g., 80% within 20 seconds)
If wait time exceeds the threshold, a callback option can be offered — the system calls the customer back when an agent becomes available
Real-time supervision dashboard shows live queue depth, waiting callers, agent states, average wait times and SLA compliance
Timeout handling: if no agent answers within the configured time, the call follows the overflow route (voicemail, another queue, external number)
Full queue overflow management: maximum callers in queue, maximum wait time, and fallback routing for each scenario
Historical statistics provide detailed reports on call volumes, wait times, abandon rates, agent performance and SLA trends over any period
