Feature request: Zendesk Talk - set maximum queue wait time per number
Hey,
Having the ability to set a maximum queue wait time for each individual number seems like a basic requirement for a Call Centre. We've been struggling so far to find a happy medium, as some numbers have very small wait times compared to busier numbers which have much larger wait times.
Ideally we would want to be able to set a different wait time for each number.
e.g.
Number 1 = 5 minutes
Number 2 = 20 minutes
Number 3 = 2 minutes
Additionally, having a more granular approach to setting these times would be even better, i.e. 1 minute increments

Hi Lee,
Thanks for the feedback, these settings are global settings right now. We will consider this feedback in the future should we explore changing them to a per number setting.
Thanks,

Hi Joey,
Agreeing with Lee this is a crucial Contact Center need while being in transfer towards Zendesk Talk, we weren't informed about this problem which creates our one biggest telephone line (with strict wiaint line settings) to make our smaller lines not reachable. At this moment I have to decide wether this will change our intention towards another CTI. Can you please let me know (preferrably this week) what the due date is for this change (if there is any at all?)
Thanks in advance, Manuel

Hi Manuel,
There is no due date for this change.
Right now, it's not on our roadmap.
Thanks,

We also would like to get it.

We have been having this same debate internally. The team in Europe feels that we need a shorter time while the team in the US want it longer. If we could control it by number, it would enable us to optimize.
-
We would also benefit from this feature. We have one phone line supported by over 20+ agents while I have another line supported by 2 agents. Having the customizability per number is essential and should be a basic feature.
As others have mentioned, this is a needed feature (amongst quite a few other downfalls of Zendesk Talk) that are making us consider other CTI/VOIP providers. -
Hi,
We have a lot of different numbers with different protocols, so setting a maximum queue wait time for each individual number is very important for us. This feature can help us implement the overflow to another call centre.
Is this feature already on the roadmap?
-
Been awhile since there has been any update on this. We would also like this feature.

Totally agree with all suggestions here. Anything associated with managing numbers / queue's needs to be as granular as possible.

+1 on this feature. We have different teams using our instance of Zendesk and sharing the one Zendesk Talk account. We'd like to be able to customise this by team. By having it as one level across the board makes it difficult to manage when each team has different configurations (ie some with Voicemail, some overflow, some not).
