Different types of call routing

With Dialpad, you can route to the agent who's been idle the longest, or according to a fixed order, or based on skill level—just to name a few options. You can even route to voicemail or other departments, and specify how long you want calls to ring for before defaulting to the call queue!

Custom greetings

Upload or record a custom greeting to let callers know how they can route themselves to the right department. You can even upload custom voicemail greetings—all in your online account.

Fallback options

Any calls that go unanswered will be routed to your fallback option—you can set that to go directly to voicemail, to another department, or to an automated response menu.

Call routing rules by department

Set call routing rules for different departments. Once you’ve set your business hours for each department, you can tailor the call routing rules to how their agents are set up. For example, you may want to do direct routing for customers calling about basic renewals, but choose skill-based routing for customers calling about trickier things like canceling their service or refunds.

Built-in analytics

Understand how your contact center is performing with analytics that show call volume patterns, average speed to answer, missed calls, call duration, and more. Dialpad even lets you track which IVR (Interactive Voice Response) options are being used most frequently so that you can continuously refine your IVR menu.

Multilingual greetings

If you've got customers with different language preferences, then you'll need a call routing system that supports that. Dialpad's IVR menu languages span English, Spanish, French, Japanese, German, and more.

In-queue callback

A very important call management feature to have, in-queue callbacks are important for the customer experience because it gives your callers the option of hanging up and getting a call later. Hey, not everyone can wait around on hold all day.
