    So there were 2 outbound calls made by the same agent on behalf of the same queue. One at 12:55 and another at 12:57. The first call went to someone voicemail but the user did not end that call. They made a second call and someone answer that one. When listening to the recording for the first call. You can hear the agent talking to someone from the second call. I'm not sure how that is possible because wouldn't the cloud place the first one on hold while there talking to someone on the second outbound call they made. There was no hold place on the first call and it just set there for 18 minutes before the user ended the call. 

    I'm not sure how it would be possible since I observed it would place one call on hold when making another outbound call on behalf of a queue.

    Hi Jason,

    From what you've described - I also would have expected the first call to the voicemail to be placed on hold if the second call was an entirely new outbound interaction.

    The only way I'd see this happening is the agent using consult on the first outbound call to make the second call and joining the two together.

    Cheers,

    I set this up and tried to replicate with two separate calls, and could not. I agree with Jeff that it sounds more like the agent somehow initiated a consult transfer. Or otherwise somehow conferenced the calls together.

    Alright thanks George that was same result we saw during testing as well. We believe this may have been because they were using a third party application to initiate the outbound call that then sent it to Genesys. At this point we just advise for user to make sure they don't initiate more than two calls at the same timeframe.
