Learn more about call queues
What is a call queue?
A call queue places your callers in a queue or line while your agents or employees are busy with other calls. The queued calls are distributed to your next available agent in the order received, allowing you to serve your customers promptly, courteously, and efficiently.
What is queued callback?
Some 8x8 X Series calling plans support queued callback. This provides callers with the opportunity to be called back when an employee becomes available. In some cases, the phone system can detect the caller's phone number. If not, the caller can provide it.
Queues have voicemail boxes
Queues can be set up to allow callers to leave a voicemail instead of giving a call back number or continuing to hold.
