Omnichannel Routing in Zendesk Talk
How does omnichannel routing affect call distribution in Zendesk Talk?
When omnichannel routing is enabled in Zendesk Talk, calls are routed differently. Calls are only directed to agents who have the permission to receive them, and you can add tags from specific IVR key presses into each ticket. This allows for a more integrated approach to managing customer interactions across different channels.
