Inbound Phone Interactions
The longest waiting call or highest priority interaction in a queue is delivered to the next available agent.
At the same time, Contact Center’s local CRM will search for existing records in the database based on the caller’s phone number. If the customer is in the system or if a case exists, the CRM will display that customer’s information.

Outbound Phone Interactions
Agents assigned to this queue can make outbound calls to external numbers or contacts. Outbound phone codes may be required to set Caller ID options, or to track the purpose of an outbound call.
