New call queue feature – exit on keypress

We recently received a request from one of our customers, who wanted to allow callers the option of leaving a voicemail at any time whilst waiting in a queue, by pressing a key on their telephone keypad.

The development team agreed that this would be a useful feature and it has now been added to the portal. You can turn on the setting by editing your call queue settings and selecting a destination for the “On keypress, transfer to” option. The destination can be any other endpoint on your system such as a mailbox, ring group, extension, etc.

We enjoy hearing from customers who have ideas for new features, such as this one, as it helps us to continue improving the service for everyone (it keeps the developers busy, too!). So if there is a feature or improvement you would like us to consider, please feel free to get in touch – we try to incorporate as many new features as possible, as long as they are feasible and would benefit other users.
