Understanding Group Routing in Zendesk Talk

Learn how group routing works in Zendesk Talk when multiple groups are selected for call handling.

How does group routing work when multiple groups are selected in Zendesk Talk?

When multiple groups are selected for call routing in Zendesk Talk, calls are first routed to the default group if agents in that group are available.

If no agents from the default group are available, the calls are then routed to all Talk-enabled agents in the selected groups, forming a single assignment pool. The routing is determined by the agents' online status, ensuring that calls are handled efficiently.

For more details, you can refer to the original Zendesk help article.
