    3. Create a Call Queue

    Configure the General settings

    • Code: Type in a queue number.

    • Description: Type in a short description.

    Add Members

    Configure Members, which are an essential component of a queue. They are basically Agents.

    • Extension: Select the extension you will use as the member/agent.

    • Penalty: Add a penalty to the member/agent, which will lower their preference of being called when there are callers waiting in the queue. The higher the number, the lower the priority of this member/agent will be.

    • Member Type: Set the Member/Agent to dynamic or static.

    • Member Type (Dynamic): Dynamic members/agents can log in and out of queues.

    • Member Type (Static): Static members/agents will be in the queue permanently.

    • Allow Diversions: If you turn this on, your members/agents will be able to divert their phones. For example, they could turn on call forwarding, which will forward calls to whichever destination the members/agents have on their phones.

    • Trash can icon: Delete member/agent.

    • Add: Add a new member/agent.

    Configure the Final Destination

    • Final Destination: Select where calls go when the call queue times out.
