Limitations of Call Forwarding in Zendesk Talk
What are the limitations of call forwarding in Zendesk Talk?
Call forwarding in Zendesk Talk has a few limitations. When calls are forwarded to an external phone, the caller ID shows the Talk number instead of the original caller's number. This helps agents identify calls coming through Talk. Additionally, charges apply when forwarding calls to an external phone, and the Support mobile app doesn't support call functionality. If omnichannel routing is enabled, call forwarding behavior changes if an agent's status is set to offline. For more details, see the article: Zendesk Talk number availability and pricing.
