Zendesk Talk: Call Routing more than once
RespondidaHello,
We are wondering if it is possible to have Zendesk Talk route an inbound call through all user's in the routing group more than once.
The problem we have is that an agent who is part of the group the phone number routes to may be available to take a call after they were previously offered, but before the caller is routed to voicemail
Ideally all agents would be offered a call two or more times with each leg instance lasting 30 seconds, but any way to get the call to be offered to each agent more than once would be acceptable.
For Example: End-user Inbound Call
- Agent 1 (30 seconds)
- Agent 2 (30 seconds)
- Agent 3 (30 seconds)
- Agent 1 (30 seconds)
- Agent 2 (30 seconds)
- Agent 3 (30 seconds)

Hi Cameron.
Yes it should be possible. What are your current maximum queue size, maximum queue wait time, and are voicemail enabled during worktime schedule? Do you need voicemail to be offered during worktime schedule?

Currently our maximum queue size is 5 callers and max call wait time is 5 minutes.
As for voicemails, they are enabled and need to be, but not necessarily for this phone number.

Ok. I would suggest turning the voicemail of on this number during work hours, set up the maximum wait time and possibly also the queue size. The the calls will loop. You could also enable callback.
Let me know if this will work for you

Hello Cameron and Thomas,
I thought that Zendesk Talk doesn't offer a call to an agent that refused or missed the same call earlier. So when you have 3 agents online (and available) that all refused or missed the call, the caller will be stuck in the queue, unless a new agent comes online.
I like Thomas' suggestion about callback, definitely worth a try. Might take a little more time for your agents (but less than voicemail I'd say) and offers a better experience for your customer.
With kind regards,

Hi Sebastian.
Maybe you are right. According to this article, the call would just go to voicemail, but what if voicemail and callback are disabled? I would make no sense that calls just stays in the queue and available agents are not able to answer them?

I've just done some testing.
#1
Voicemail disabled
Callback disabled
2 agents online
Incoming call react as follows:
Call goes to agent 1, is ignored
Call goes to agent 2, is ignored
Call gets "no available agents" message and is disconnected
#2
Voicemail disabled
Callback enabled
2 agents online
Incoming call react as follows:
Call gets "callback message with press 2 option"
Call goes to agent 1, is ignored
Call goes to agent 2, is ignored
Call gets "no available agents" message and is disconnected
So neither of the solutions a proposed works...
I've created this post for the Talk PM to look into.
Please go and vote :-)

Thanks for taking the time to jump in here Sebastiaan and Thomas :) I'll pass the feedback post along to the appropriate team!

Confirmed Thomas' findings as well.

Not having this option is really frustrating and leads to a bad experience for both the customer (who then has to wait for possibly a long time) and our agents (who want to help by can't).
Seeing a call waiting on our wallboard while there is an agent available and online is very aggravating.
If anyone has developed a workaround to this, I'd love to hear it.
