  • 1.  Email Queues vs. Phone Queues

    Posted 10 hours ago
    I have a group of agents who primarily handle voice interactions, but for one hour each day they are assigned to email queues. Currently, we have to manually remove them from the voice queues and then add the email queues, and reverse the process once their email hour is complete. I'm looking for a way to assign these agents to email queues for that one-hour window each day without having to manually activate and deactivate queue access.

    Hi Melissa, 

    Thinking quickly about a simple solution:
     
    Create a group in Genesys containing only the agents who will be working with email during those specifics hours.
    Instead of adding and removing users from the queue individually, you can simply add and remove the group from the queue.
     
    This will make the process faster and simpler.

    Thank you, Kaio. I was unaware that I could add/remove a group. Just to clarify you are saying I can activate/deactivate rather than remove, correct? If so, do you mind to tell me where exactly I would activate or deactivate at the group level?

    Unfortunately, there's no way to enable and disable it (it would be nice).

    My idea is this: create the group and put the agents in the group.

    Next, add that group to the queue

    When you need to prevent agents from receiving interactions from this email queue, simply remove the group from the queue.
     
    Then, add the group back to the queue when needed.

    But if I add the group to the queue, won't they still be in all their other normal queues unless I remove them?

    Correct.
    Adding them to the group will not remove the queues they are part of.

    Just adding to Kaio’s suggestion another option is to automate the movement of agents between groups using the Groups API on a schedule.

    In our case, we synchronise group membership automatically (removing agents from one group and adding them to another), which then controls their queue access without manual changes. This works well if the shift happens daily and you want to eliminate manual steps entirely.

    I shared the use case here in case it helps:
