Max Callers

Maximum number of callers (between 1 and 500) waiting to be connected to an Agent before the ‘Max Callers Reached’ branch is taken

Call Waiting Timeout

Numbers of seconds (between 1 and 10800) a caller can wait to be connected to an Agent before the Call Waiting Timeout branch is taken.

When the Call Waiting Timeout branch is not configured the caller will hear the “Sorry there is no reply” message and will be disconnected

Agent RNR Timeout

Number of seconds (between 1 and 300) a destination number will ring before the outdial is cancelled and the next available agent is selected

Call Waiting Behaviour

Determines the caller experience whilst waiting to be connected to an Agent. Ringing means the caller will hear ring tone when the call is attempting to connect, Audio means they will hear the selected queue audio

Call Waiting Dropout

The caller can press # whilst waiting to be connected to an Agent, to take the Call Waiting Dropout branch instead.

Note: the caller will only be presented with this option if Call Waiting is enabled and you have made it clear in the apology audio (in the Call Waiting settings) that this option is available to them

Music on Hold

Determines the music on hold genre the caller will hear whilst waiting to be connected to an Agent

Agent Transfer

This option allows the Agent to transfer a call to another Agent.

The Agent can dial "428" at any point during a conversation, and this will cause the system to prompt the Agent for another Agent's ID.

At the same time, the caller is put on hold and will hear ringing.

If the second Agent is unavailable (Signed Out/Not Ready, on another call, or engaged), then the Agent and the caller will be reconnected.

Calls transferred in this way will be reflected on the relevant dashboards and reports.

No other calls will be presented to an Agent dealing with a DCA-transferred call until the call ends and the wrap-up time has expired.

If the B-party hangs up after a successful agent transfer without pressing the # key first, the transfer may be delayed by up to 2 minutes due to active network timers. Unless the B-party is satisfied the network timer will not affect the transfer, they MUST always press the # key to connect the A-party and C-party together before they hang up.
