I found this post, and i was wondering if/when this is possible in 3cx?
We have the same issue, our agent sometimes have to set to DoNotDisturb, but definitely will log back in within few seconds/minute.
Now we have set a ringgroup as overflow (destination no answer), however if no agents are available in ringgroup the same problem exist...

I am curious why this is not a default function, or what am i missing in our config? It is not the (or our) purpose to end a call or send to a voicemail if no agent is available. And apparently a ringgroup is also no solution, because calls also get lost / send to voicemail.




Suggestion: So it would be nice if there exists an extra function which "timeout if no agents logged in transfer call after XXX seconds"
(where XXX seconds should be lower then the "timeout destination if no answer")




Original text in post:
"On my main call queues I have the timeout set at 30 seconds before it diverts to queue 2, but if no agent are currently logged in to the queue then it diverts instantly.

Is there a way if turning that off so the call would still stay in the queue for the 30 seconds? My reasoning is that agents may be logged out of the queue but then could see a call waiting on the wallboard so then could log back on to the queue to answer it."

Hi,

Is there anyone from 3CX who can give an answer to this?

We really need this to work as wanted..

To be honest, we would not have chosen 3CX if I knew this is not a default function. And yes, maybe i should have tested this properly. But i only tested it with availble agents and working with a overflow ringgroup. But ringgroup does not work if everyone is unavailable / logged out from queue.

Currently looking for an alternative phone system, because we are having a lot of missed calls due to after call work. Maybe going back to the freePBX solution we had before.
Our customer satisfaction went (on subject phone waiting time) down since we said goobye to our asterisk /elastix phone system, in which this worked fine!
