Receive Calls on Phone When Computer is Off
Can I receive calls on my phone if my computer is off?
Yes, you can still receive calls on your phone even if your computer is off. As long as your agent state is set to 'Online' in the call console in Zendesk Talk and you have selected 'Via Phone' for call routing, calls will be forwarded to your phone. This remains true even if you log out, close your browser, or your computer falls asleep. However, if omnichannel routing is enabled and your status is set to offline due to disconnection, calls will not be forwarded. For more details, check out theZendesk article.
