Setting Up Group Routing for Callback Widgets in Zendesk

Understand how to set up group routing for callback widgets in Zendesk Talk and ensure agents are available to handle requests.

What should I consider when setting up group routing for a callback widget?

When setting up group routing for a callback widget, it's important to select the appropriate group of agents who will handle the calls and callback requests.

Ensure that the agents in the selected group are available to take calls, as the Web Widget (Classic) will display the contact option when they are online. If agents haven't answered or made a call for a while, the system still treats them as online. If the Talk option isn't appearing, try toggling your agents offline and back online to troubleshoot.
