  • Once the agent places a call, the status changes from Online to Away. On the completion of the call, the status reverts to Online.
  • Consider the agent has set the status as Away or he is speaking to another person. When a customer makes a call now, the call will not be connected to the agent and the customer will also not hear the dialer tone. Instead, the call is directly routed based on the IVR setup to voicemail or queue in the callback. Click here to know more about the callback queue feature.
