How do I create a call queue?

Create a call queue to make it easier for incoming callers to reach a department—like Support or Billing. Agents that have logged in to a queue can then answer these calls as they are dispersed to them. Use the Intelligent Call Routing (ICR) enhancement to improve callers experience by matching them with the best suited agent for their needs, rather than just the next available agent. The ICR feature is currently available for Support Center (if purchased as of June 9th or later) and Revenue Center only.
