Fixing Zendesk Talk Calls Going to Voicemail

Discover solutions for Zendesk Talk calls going directly to voicemail.

What should I do if calls go straight to voicemail in Zendesk Talk?

If your calls are going straight to voicemail, it might be due to business hours settings or queue wait times.

Check if the call was made outside of business hours, as this can redirect calls to voicemail. Additionally, ensure your maximum queue wait time isn't too low; setting it to 5 minutes might help. If your queue often maxes out, consider setting up a priority line to manage traffic better.
