Enable External Shared Directory contact name resolution for inbound calls distributed through Call Queues.
Currently, External Shared Directory contacts do not resolve to caller names when inbound calls are routed through a Call Queue.
If a call is received directly by an extension, the External Shared Directory lookup functions as expected. However, when the same inbound call is distributed via a Call Queue, the caller name from the External Shared Directory does not persist to the receiving endpoint.
This significantly limits the utility of the External Shared Directory feature for organizations that rely on Call Queues for inbound call routing.
Most organizations that maintain a centralized main number route inbound calls through a Call Queue rather than directly to individual extensions. For these organizations, caller name recognition for queued calls is a primary reason to invest time in uploading and maintaining an External Shared Directory.
