Call Queue - Set Up Call Handling for Business Hours and After Hours
Call queues allow you to distribute calls to custom groups or departments you set up. Create a call queue when you want a specific group of users (such as Sales, Support or Billing) to share incoming calls. Each call queue can have an extension or direct (local or toll-free) number of its own. You can define specific business hours for each call queue and set up email or text message notifications of any missed calls or voicemail messages.
NOTE: Only Account Administrators or a Call Queue Manager can set up and configure call queues.
