How to create a Queue For Mitel

Modified on Wed, 30 Apr at 3:42 PM

What is this feature and why you should use it.
Talkative Engage uses Queues to group interactions together. You can have as many or as few queues as you require. For many of our customers, one queue is sufficient. By default, your new Talkative Engage account will be created with a Default Queue which will have the Default User group assigned to it.

You can create multiple queues based on your requirements. You might for example, have a Customer Support queue, a Complaints queue and a General Inquiries queue. Each queue must then have at least one group assigned to it. Groups are simply a collection of agents. An agent can be in multiple groups, and you can create as many groups as you wish.

When using Mitel, you need to preconfigure queues on Ignite First
