Similar to max calls, this sets how many concurrent SMS sessions the user can be part of.

Assigns priority of queue for the agent. The lower numbers have higher priority. First priority being the highest.

Request Confirmation

This makes the cellphone press 1 to accept a call coming from the call queue. It is recommended that all cellphone numbers have this feature checked/enabled. This option helps the cellphone user know it is a work call as they have to press 1 to accept it. As well as it prevents the call from hitting the users personal voicemail message, and will keep the call routing based on our settings and not the cellphone's.

Auto Answer

This will connect the call as soon as it is routed to a user. This will instantly connect a normal desk phone and can be useful for that scenario, but this feature is not recommended when forwarding to off net numbers and cellphones. S

Save Agent

Once you have all of your settings configured, click Save to complete the setup
