Open Channel Queues

Open Channel Queues

Overview

The Open Channel Queue is used to route incoming messages from custom channels—such as Facebook, Telegram, Instagram, and others—to a designated group of Agents.

This allows XCALLY Motion to handle external communication platforms through a unified routing and interaction management system, just like with voice, email, or chat channels.

For each incoming message received through a configured Account, the agents assigned to the corresponding Queue will be notified. When an agent accepts the interaction, the system opens a dedicated tab on the Agent Desktop, displaying the entire conversation.

This page describes the Open Channel Queue configuration on the New Client Experience, available from version 3.44.0.

You can access the Open Channel Queues section from the Open Channel menu in the main navigation panel.

In the section, you can easily search, filter, and sort to quickly find and manage the queues you need.
