Understanding Zendesk Talk's Customer Callback Feature
How does the customer callback feature work in Zendesk Talk?
The customer callback feature in Zendesk Talk allows customers to choose between waiting on hold or requesting a callback. When a customer opts for a callback, their place is held in the queue, and the call is automatically returned when an agent is available. This feature requires at least one agent to be logged in with a status of either Online or Away.
It's important to note that callback cannot be configured for digital lines or toll-free numbers. Customers will hear a Callback greeting after the Available agents greeting, and they can press 2 to request a callback. They can choose to receive the callback on the number they called from or a different number in E.164 format. For more details, visit theoriginal link.
