The queued calls are distributed to your next available agent or representative in the order received, allowing you to serve your customers promptly, courteously, and efficiently. It's an ideal feature for a small business that receives incoming calls into functional areas such as sales, technical support, or customer service.

8x8 Call Queuing includes:

  • Up to 20 callers per queue
  • Up to 102 queues per PBX
  • A secondary queue extension group for each queue
