Some solutions were $75 USD a user a month, which is more than I pay for all of Microsoft 365 and Teams Phone for a user, so it's hard to justify.Īre there any 3rd party add ons that are a bit better but that won't break the bank? Not looking for free or trying to be cheap, it's just hard to justify based on our usage. to moving from an SBC to the 3CX system with 365 Teams integrations. It's very minimal, but when we do get one we like to see details on it. You could set your 'destination if no answer' to route to a CFD extension. Chances are Call notifications are either completely disabled or not permitted on. I know there's several 3rd party add-ons, but our biggest issue is that we might get 1 call a day if that. Essentially meaning, that agent was the last to ring before the call was considered abandoned. I'm an admin so I don't take calls, yet if I go into any Teams channel for a queue it's completely empty and shows nothing, making that also useless. To add a Call Queue click on the Call Queues function in the 3CX Management Console and: Click Add, enter a name for the queue and select a virtual extension number. ChrisC3CX said: That counter increments for an agent whenever a call, thats currently polling him, gets marked as abandoned. That only shows calls the user answered, and not ALL queue calls. We use the option where we assign a Teams channel as the queue to make it appear in Teams, but even that is useless. No one has any way of telling if someone is in a queue or on hold or anything. The built in reports seem bad, and everyone says use Power BI but that's so clunky just to be able to quickly log in and see "did anyone from the team answer that call or was it abandoned, and who answered it."Ĥ) Our biggest issue is the lack of visibility into anything. We used to use 3CX and had a whole switchboard app that would let you see the callers waiting in the queue, how long, who is available, who answered a call, who is talking, etc.ģ) Even when a call ends, it's really difficult to view details on it.

Presence is always slow, so you can't trust the red icon or "In a call", plus it doesn't even say if it's "In a queue call" vs just a direct call making it not helpful. He will message that someone is on hold or looking for someone else, and everyone is always surprised as most times it just doesn't ring anyone.Ģ) Whenever it does ring everyone, if you miss the "Call answered by John Smith" in the notification, there's absolutely no way to know if someone got the call or is on it. 80% of the time when someone calls the queue, it only rings one user from my staff. I have presence based routing turned off. There's a few issues that we have that from what I understand, can only be solved with 3rd party add-ons:ġ) I have it set to do the attended routing I believe it is, where it should ring all members of the queue. It works great and we love it, but when it comes to call queues we are really struggling.
