    Hi NSteune

    No worries, get what you mean. No, this would be on the availability of the users at the time. So for example, on Tuesday in your scenario all calls go to agent 1 because agent 1 is available. On Wednesday, calls are balanced between agent 1 and 2. On Thursday if agents 1 2 and 3 were in they would be balanced between 1 2 and 3. Lets say that agent 2 went for lunch at 12-1 on Thursday, they would be balanced between agents 1 and 3 until 2 returned from lunch

    Hope that makes sense

    Best, Chris

One final question (not related to round robin!) is this;

 

"If I create a contact in Outlook or Teams with just a telephone number or with an email that is not on Teams, I cannot search for this contact to transfer a call to when i receive it - any idea why and how to circumvent it?"
