VoIP: Agent Routing

GorillaDesk has introduced a new VoIP feature: Agent Routing. This enhancement allows you to customize how calls are distributed among your team. The available call routing options are:

  • Ring All - this option will ring all users

  • Fixed Order - this will ring the user in a fixed order one at a time

  • Longest Idle - this will ring the user with the longest idle time

  • Round Robin - this will ring user in a foxed rotating order

The Agent Routing options can be used for group numbers and auto-attendant extensions.

Go to your Group Number or Auto-Attendant Settings to start using this feature.

VoIP: Send Automated Text for Missed Call

An SMS will automatically be sent to the caller if you miss their call or they reach your

voicemail.

VoIP Ringing Fix

The VoIP issue where other tabs continued to ring after clicking "Ignore" on an incoming call in one tab has now been resolved.


Now, when your account is open in multiple tabs and you receive an incoming call, clicking the "Ignore" button on one tab will stop the ringing on all other tabs as well.

VoIP Call Drop vs Ignore

We have resolved the issue with the functionality of the ignore button for incoming calls.

This is how the two buttons work:

  • The Ignore button silences or stops the call from ringing on the user's end, while allowing the caller to keep hearing the ringing. The call remains active but is not answered. Click the ( X ) ignore the call.

  • The Drop button, on the other hand, immediately ends or disconnects the call, terminating the connection between both parties.
