Call Distribution, Tiered Groups

[jesabee]

I am having a hard time wrapping my head around a potential solution for our call distribution desires.  We have a team of CSR's that I would like to receive calls based on longest idle.  After attempting to reach those users, I would like the call to overflow to another group of users.  I believe I can accomplish this with (2) call queues.  However, if the call goes unanswered by both groups, I would like the process to start over.  If the call makes it through the cycle again, then I would like to overflow the call to an outside number for our answering service.  Any ideas on how to achieve this type of rotation? I considered a third an fourth call queue, but I didn't want to have our CSR's turning off/on two queues every day.  Thank you for reading!

Hi Eliot - - thank you for reading. Any thoughts on if this can be achieved with 2 queues instead of 4?
