Fax Queues

Fax Queues

Overview

Fax Queues allow you to route incoming faxes from a configured Fax Account to a group of agents. When a fax interaction is received, all agents assigned to the corresponding Fax Queue are notified. Once an agent accepts the fax, a dedicated Tab opens in the Agent Desktop, displaying the document along with any subsequent faxes that belong to the same interaction.

This page describes the Fax Queue configuration on the New Client Experience, available from version 3.40.0.

In the Fax Queues Section you will find the existing Fax Queues and you can easily search, filter, and sort to quickly find and manage the queues you need:
