Call Queues not working for Afterhours

[Randy Loveless]

Call Queues work as expected during business hours . however
no matter what exceptions / rules I put in it doesn't not seem to allow afterhours calls to call any extensions.

example
this extension is for Dispatch / service clients only . but need it to be working 24 hours , so even if someone calls at 3 am I want this extension to be directed to the Queue ,
what I would like is to have

dispatch calls got to extension 805 > to forward to Queue 800 no answer then to forward to 2 Cell phones
the only way I can get this to work is like below , but this isn't ideal cause we are directly forwarding to the cells and may loose the calls in the cell voicemail .
the rebound doesn't seem to work very well .


extension 805 set to exception > all hours send to Queue 800
this works

Queue 800
max que timeout 420 sec.
agents
401 exception set to call mobile
402 exception set to vmail
403 exception set to vmail
851 all setting set to call mobile , and exception set
if timeout go to ring group 801

ring group 801
call cell XXXXXXXXX
call cell !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the issue I have is Queue 800 answers , then basically just sends the calls to RG801 not even 15 seconds into the transfer to the Queue .

what am I doing wrong ?

Hello @Randy Loveless,

I am not sure that i fully undesrtood what is excactly that you want to do. From what you said, i understood that you have a Queue, you set certain Office hours and when they call you on outside office hours you don't get the calls where you want to e.g. in the Queue.

Please do clarify. From where the calls come?Localy or from an outside extension or outside number to your PBX? Where did you set your office hours? In an extension's forwarding rule, in an inbound rule or in settings>>Timezone &office hours settings?
What is excactly the scenario?

Thank you

 

[Randy Loveless]

sorry for the confusion .. I hope this is slightly clearer

calling from my landline at home to the PBX box .
time set in the timezone / office hours
have tried setting the custom time in the extension, doesn't seem to make a difference

currently what I am having issues with .
1. queues for afterhours seems to go directly to Vmail setting
2. extensions that have rebound function setup , doesn't seem to work.

After hours configuration
Digital Receptionist answer the call . with a AH message sends all callers to VM for AH Support
what I have setup is a special Extension 805

extension 805 is has is set to send all calls to Queue 800 ,this part functions

Queue 800 - has a max que timeout of 420 sec.
agents
401 all setting set to call mobile
402 all setting set to call mobile
851 all setting set to call mobile , and exception set to * all hours forward to mobile .
after max timeout of 420 sec send to Vmail of 805 .

the issues is AH callers who dial extension 805 , get please wait then are sent directly to vmail .


if I change queue 800 setting for after max timeout to forward to Ring Group 801 , then the calls will directly go to RG802
ring group 802
851 call cell (333)1230123
401 call cell (333)1230124

what I would like to have happen is

callers call extension 805 goes to Queue 800
during business hours calls extensions for 420 sec after timeout forward to Queue 801
Queue 801
ext 851 if no answer call cell (333)1230123
ext 401 if no answer call cell (333)1230124

Hello @Randy Loveless,

Thank you for clarifying. Please note that extensions' forwarding rules do not apply if the phones are agents of a Queue. When the queue reaches a phone and the phone does not answer then the call will be forwarded to the next available agent of the queue. Please do also note that if you configured office hours inside the extensions' forwarding rules then the phone will be set to away outside office hours and logged out of the queue because("Automatically switch status to available during office hours" thus unavailable outside office hours) . As long as for the mobiles, the same rule applies. When you will configure your phones not to switch status when outside office hours, your mobile will still not ring because as i mentioned before the forwarding rules of an extension do not apply when the extension is an agent in a queue. The only way this to happen, is to enable "Ring my mobile simultaneously" so when the queue reaches the extension your mobile will be ringing simultaneously..

Thank you.

ok
1. how do I get "Ring my mobile simultaneously" to use rebound ? that doesn't seem to work when I enable r "Ring my mobile simultaneously"
2. Queue's don't seem to work at all . what am I doing wrong ?
extensions are online , RG work to those extensions. here is the log file filtered for Queue850
