Call Queue Custom Rule Templates
Call Queue Custom Rule Templates
Problem:
Our current system lacks the ability to create and apply templates for custom call queue rules. This necessitates manual configuration for each call queue extension, a significant time investment considering we manage 340 call queues
Current Behavior:
Navigating through Phone System > Groups > Call Queue > Call Handling > Custom Rule.
Manually setting up the desired call routing behavior for each individual call queue extension.
Desired Behavior:
We request the implementation of a system for creating and applying custom call queue rule templates. This would allow us to:
Design a template with desired routing logic (e.g., Caller ID, Called Number, Date/Time, forwarding to voicemail with custom audio).
Within a call queue, simply select the pre-defined template to apply this routing behavior to an extension.
Benefits:
Drastically Reduced Configuration Time: Applying pre-defined rules to multiple queues eliminates manual setup for each extension.
Enhanced Consistency: Ensures consistent routing across queues with similar requirements.
Simplified Management: Updates to routing logic become easier as you only need to modify the template, not individual extensions.
Urgency:
Managing 340 call queues with manual configuration is highly inefficient. Implementing custom rule templates is crucial for streamlining our call queue management process.
Recommendation:
We strongly urge the development of custom call queue rule templates.
Additionally, consider:
Template Parameter Customization: Allow for tailoring templates to address specific queue needs.
Pre-built Templates: Explore offering pre-configured templates for common routing scenarios.
By implementing this feature, we can significantly improve the efficiency and consistency of our call queue management.

I'd like to also vote for this, seems like a major time-saver. We also have a lot of call queues which takes a significant amount of time to manually update rules for one-by-one.
