Queue

If you set queues to the incoming call rule, customers can listen to music or announcements until the next user is available while the call is on hold.

  IMPORTANT

  •   You'll need to sign up for a separate contract to use queues.
  •   MiiTel will reflect the new settings and changes in the queue at around 3:30 a.m. of the following day. However, MiiTel will immediately reflect the new settings and changes in the queue after the transition to the new system.

3Description: Enter the description of the queue.

4Call distribution type: Select the order of users to pick up the call.

Call all members

  • All members will receive the call at the same time.
  • The first person who answers the call will be connected.

Call the member with the longest waiting time

  • The person with the longest waiting time for this queue will receive the call. (The time you spent on phone calls outside of this queue will not count as the waiting time.)
  • Even if the ring time goes over the Maximum ring time, the same person will receive the call.
  • If the person can't pick up the call and clicks Decline, the next person with the longest waiting time will receive the call.
  • Other members (except the person who received the call) will not receive the call. (If the person is away from their desk or not available to pick up calls, we recommend you change the status of your MiiTel Phone to a status other than Available.)

  NOTE

  •  The data of the waiting time will reset once a day during maintenance hours.

Call the member with the fewest calls

  • The person with the fewest calls for this queue will receive the call. (Phone calls outside of this queue will not count as the number of calls.)
  • Even if the ring time goes over the Maximum ring time, the same person will receive the call.
  • If the person can't pick up the call and clicks Decline, the next person with the fewest calls will receive the call.
  • Other members (except the person who received the call) will not receive the call. (If the person is away from their desk or not available to pick up calls, we recommend you change the status of your MiiTel Phone to a status other than Available.)

  NOTE

  •  The data of the number of calls will reset once a day during maintenance hours.

Call randomly

  • One random person will receive the call.
  • If the ring time goes over the Maximum ring time, another person will randomly receive the call.
  • Other members (except the person who received the call) will not receive the call.

Call in order

  • With the order set by the system, one person will receive the call.
  • If the ring time goes over the Maximum ring time, the next person will receive the call.
  • Other members (except the person who received the call) will not receive the call.

5Queue sound: Set the audio file to play while the call is on hold. (You'll first need to add a sound on MiiTel Admin.)

6Maximum ring time: The number of seconds the person's phone will ring.

*If you set "Call randomly" or "Call in order" for the Call distribution type: If the ring time goes over this number, the next person will receive the call.

7Maximum wait time: The maximum number of seconds to keep the caller on hold in a queue. If the wait time goes over this number, the call will automatically be disconnected.

8Retry interval (seconds): The number of seconds to wait before calling the next person based on the call distribution type.

9Maximum number of waiting calls: The maximum number of calls that can wait at a time.

  IMPORTANT

  •  The maximum number of waiting calls is decided by each customer's contract. An error message will be displayed if the maximum number of waiting calls exceeds the number described in the contract.
  •   If you want to use the queue for MiiTel Phone Mobile (smartphone app), please note that you will not be able to use the queue while your screen is locked or opening the app in the background.
    Since MiiTel Phone Mobile is an app that is supported by Apple and Google, you may experience some delays in the service due to the network environment or other reasons. Therefore, please note that there is no guarantee that you will receive 100% of the phone calls.
