Outbound Calls with NULL Call Group in Zendesk Talk

Learn why outbound calls may show a NULL call group in Zendesk Talk and how it relates to group routing settings.

How do outbound calls end up with a NULL call group in Zendesk Talk?

Outbound calls can have a NULL call group if there is no group routing set for the Talk line or if an external number is used. This means the call is not associated with any specific agent group.

For outbound calls using a Talk line, the group assignment is based on the inbound routing settings. If no group is set, the call group will be NULL. Additionally, when using an external number for outbound calls, there are no settings to assign these calls to a group, resulting in a NULL call group.
