Call queues / hunt groups
Ring a list of extensions one at a time or all at once, then overflow to voicemail or hang up.
Tenant admins build this at Admin → Call queues (/admin/queues), then map a menu key on Inbound IVR.
Create a queue
- Name (for example
SalesorSupport). - Strategy: - Sequential — ring members one at a time, in the order you set, each for N seconds - Simultaneous — ring every member at once; first to answer wins
- Ring each for (seconds) — 8–45 (default 20).
- If nobody answers — Voicemail (default), Hang up, or Another menu.
- Check members in order. Use ↑ / ↓ to reorder (sequential).
- Create queue.
Then on Inbound IVR, set a key to Ring a queue and pick this queue.
What the caller hears
Octone says Connecting you… then rings. If nobody picks up, overflow runs (usually voicemail).
Add extensions first at Extensions & desk phones so the queue has someone to ring.
