Queue¶

The Queue, same as Groups, allows you to create a team of people in a call queue. The caller is then routed to the next available member (who waits for the longest to receive a call).

If you use this routing strategy:

You can upload audio files that greet the caller and play music when the caller or the member puts the call on hold.
You don't need to specify the members of a group. Individuals who want to join the group must call a specific extension number.

To leave the group, they dial another number from their phone. This means that a group that uses a Queue routing strategy doesn't necessarily have a fixed number of members.
