Callers wait in line,
not in voicemail.

When everyone is busy, a queue holds the caller, tells them where they are, and hands them to the next teammate who is free.

Included on Business and Scale.

The Orders queue: three callers waiting, the longest for 2:41, and two calls in progress.

4 ways to share calls

Longest idle, ring all,
round robin or sequential.

Their place, spoken

“You are number 2 in line” —
in the voice you pick.

A breather between calls

Wrap-up time before
the next caller rings.

Every exit has a route

Too long, too full or nobody in —
you choose where it goes.

Busy no longer means missed.

The same Friday rush, with and without a queue.

Without a queue

The line rings out after half a minute

A busy team means the caller hits voicemail

Nobody knows who has waited longest

Callbacks end up on a sticky note

With a queue

Callers hold with your music, not silence

They hear their place and how long it will be

Whoever has waited longest is answered first

Too long or nobody in? It goes where you choose

Four ways to share the calls.

Pick how the queue hands each caller to your team. Change it any time.

Longest idle

The teammate who has been free the longest takes the next call.

Ring all

Everyone rings at once. The first to pick up has it.

Round robin

Calls take turns around the team, so nobody gets them all.

Sequential

Rings your list one at a time, in the order you set.

The queue's Distribution setting open: Longest idle, Ring all, Round robin and Sequential.

Know how every queue is doing.

Who is waiting and who is free right now — and over the last 30 days, your answer rate, abandoned calls and average wait.

The queue view: callers waiting, calls in progress, the four agents and who is free, and thirty days of answered and abandoned calls.

Set one up in a few minutes.

Questions about call queues

As many teammates as you like, and you set how many callers it holds before the next one goes elsewhere.

You choose. A caller who waits too long, finds the queue full, or calls when nobody is in goes where your call flow sends them — voicemail, another team, or the AI receptionist.

Yes. The queue can tell them their place and roughly how long the wait is, in the voice you pick, with your own wording.

Yes. Upload a track or a greeting, or pick one of ours. Callers hear it between announcements.

They log in and out from the sidebar. Anyone off duty, on another call or on do not disturb is skipped until they are free.

Business and Scale. Queues come with call flows, so a queue is one step in the flow you already have.

Never let a busy
line ring out again.
