Incoming: Missed Incoming Calls
Missed Incoming Calls is compatible only with Direct Incoming numbers
Direct Incoming numbers are a type of Incoming number that you can tie directly to a specific Team or Agent. These numbers are ordered directly from our Support Team, and are great for ensuring your incoming calls are going to only the right people.
Configuring a Direct Incoming number is exactly the same as an Incoming number, but with the added step of Bind to Team or Agent.
If a lead calls one of your incoming numbers but doesn't connect to an agent, there are two ways to handle those calls in Outbound, depending on the type of incoming number you are using:
- Incoming Number: If you have Dial-back enabled, then calls that meet your dial-back criteria will enter the call queue to be prioritised immediately and called by the first available agent. Read more about Dial-backs here.
- Direct Incoming Number: Unanswered calls will be displayed in Missed Calls. If the lead already exists, then it will be possible to call back.
The following types of calls can be returned in Missed Calls:
- Closed hours - if a lead calls outside of the opening hours set out in Incoming Configuration
- Caller hung up - the lead terminated the call before being connected to an agent
- Timeout - if the call times out after exceeding the maximum waiting time, and Message and disconnect is chosen in Incoming Configuration - Wait Settings
Who can call back?
Depending on what type of incoming number you are using, the rules for who can call back are different.
Incoming With a standard Incoming number, lead ownership will be assigned to the top organisation, so only these users will be able to call back: |
