What can I check if I’m having problems with my call queue?

There are a few steps to take when there’s an issue with your Users ringing in a call queue - each step is below:

 

 

Check the User is in the Hunt Group:

 

Despite being very basic, sometimes new Users are missed out from being added into Call Queue Groups. You can check which Hunt Group you’ve assigned into the Call Queue Groups section, and make sure the user is selected there. 

 

To check this, go to: 

 

Voice > Inbound Settings > Call Queuing > Click on the Hunt Group that you’ve assigned to your Call Queue.

 

Here, you can edit which Users you’d like to be in the hunt group, and see if there’s any that aren’t included but should have been.

 

 

The User is in my Hunt Group but it’s still not ringing them?:

 

Make sure the User is registered. If a User isn’t registered to a device, it will not ring. You can see whether a User is registered or not in the Users page by going to:

 

Voice > Users > Users > Press the pencil next to User > Device Registration

 

If it says “No Devices Found”, it means that the User is unregistered. Try rebooting the device to see if it reconnects.

 

 

Check the User is available in Call Queues:

 

The User can see whether they’re available in their app:

 

Mobile App:
  • More > Settings > Calls > Call Queue Status, and check it’s set to Available.

 

  • It’s also worth checking that they don’t have Do Not Disturb enabled.

 

  • They can check this by going to: 
    • More > Do Not Disturb, and make sure neither Global Do Not Disturb or App Do Not Disturb are enabled.

 

Desktop App:
  • In the top left corner of the page, click your User Icon.

 

  • Make sure your Call Queue Availability is set to Available, and that neither Global Do Not Disturb or App Do Not Disturb are toggled on.

 

 

Check to make sure you’re using the correct Ring Order:

 

Each Ring Order makes the inbound calls ring in a different way:

 

Fewest Calls -
    • This will ring the User who has answered the least amount of calls before moving on.

 

Least Talking Time -
    • This will ring the User who has spent the total duration of calls for that Ring Order Period (which is set in the box beside it).

 

Longest Idle -
    • This will ring the User who hasn't answered a call for the longest amount of time.

 

Ring All -
    • This will ring all Users simultaneously.

 

Sequential (Across calls) -
    • This will call each User in the group in a sequential manner, and each new call will move to the next User in the order.

 

Sequential (Restart each call) -
    • This will call each User in the group in a sequential manner, however for each new call, it will start with the same User before moving on to the next.
