Call Distribution, Tiered Groups

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!

Carry “on hold” audio across overflow call queue

We have a situation where I would like an “on hold” audio track to play while ringing our first call queue and that audio file seamlessly carry into the overflow to second call queue where we add additional members. Any way this could be possible? 

Resolved! Need simple answer: Metering charges for call forwarding?

I haven't found a clear answer, so, I am hoping someone can help (and that their response can help others):

 

  • I recently signed up for the Zoom US & Canada Unlimited plan for my small business.
  • I paid for one license
  • My business partner and I would like to set up the Auto Receptionist so that if someone dials our Zoom phone number, they can get routed to either my or my partner's cell phone based on which option they choose. This way, each of us can have separate extensions listed on our business cards
    • To make this more visual:
      • External caller calls Zoom phone number -> Auto receptionist responds and says "Dial 1 for Person A or Dial 2 for Person B" -> Externall caller dials 1 and call gets routed to my cell phone number (NOT the Zoom mobile app)

Question: Besides the charge from my cell provider, will Zoom also charge me (either through a single fee or metering) for that call forwarding service? If yes, what is the fee and where can I read more about it?

Call Forwarding Fee Question

On my company's plan, I have a user who very rarely uses her number and would only occasionally get inbound calls. I want to forward her phone to her cell, however when I try, I notice it says "I acknowledge that calls forwarded to the PSTN may be billed based on usage, per the terms of my calling plan". I'm not privy of which tier of plan the org has, but we have a toll free number, a decent number of users, etc.

 

I tried reaching out to customer support to get clarification on this, but the slow responses are as clear as mud. I'm just trying to find out if there's a fee for forwarding, how much is it? 

 

I get my own calls forwarded occasionally when I am not at my desk to receive them, however they don't last more than 1-2 minutes. When I set up my own call forwarding 2 years ago, I don't believe I saw this same verbiage on it. I definitely would have thought twice. 

 

TL;DR: How much is the fee for call forwarding if there is indeed a fee? 

 

Thanks in advance.

Click to Dial no longer functioning - zoomphonecall://{phone}

We use NetSuite's built in telephony system in combination with Zoom's click to dial functionality. 

 

We have been using zoomphonecall://{phone} without issue for years. As of today, it's no longer functioning. Nothing happens when clicking the phone number link. 

 

After going over Zoom's developer documentation, I've tried various forms of the URI scheme. Only one I could get to directly dial is "zoomphonecall://+1234567890? ", in which case it of course only dialed 1234567890. Not very helpful.

 

If anyone has any additional information, I would appreciate it.

We have most of our employees on a soft phone using the desktop app, with maybe 10 users on Deskphones. When I create a Paging group and only have softphone employees, I get "Sorry we are unable to complete your call....". When I put someone with a deskphone (VVX250) it rings to them and the message is played after pick up. So I have a few questions:

 

How do I get paging to work for those on a desktop app?

How do I get it to page out to the deskphone and not have to wait for them to answer?

Call routing to second user

Hello,  

 

I hope I selected the correct location and topic.  

 

I'm trying to set up my new employee to use the business zoom phone for inbound and outbound calls so they aren't using their own phone number.  I'm not planning on giving them their own phone number I'd just like them to use my business number.  I hope I can explain this correctly but here are my thoughts and what I'm looking for, if somebody could give me assistance on guidance. 

  1. I guessing I'll need to purchase an alternate license for them because they'll require their own extension and the ability to log in via their own account/email.  I'm not trying to give them a new number just the ability to log in and use our business line.  I somebody could confirm this is what I need to do.  
  2. I would like them to have their own extension so when a client calls for them specifically it's not ringing to everybody.  Is using the auto reception the correct idea/method or is this even a possibility. 

Thank you for any assistance.

Resolved! Distinctive Ring for Internal vs. External Calls

Users are requesting a way to distinguish an incoming internal call (a call from an internal user) vs. a call from an external number. Is there a way to set a different ring tone for a direct call to someone's extension vs. a call to a call queue? Show more
