Question: is it possible to route call from IVR directly to agent without queue

[PPPP_1]

Hi all.

I have question, regarding routing calls.

The situation is :
there is a group of agents, that are 'preferred' to receive calls with certain attached data. The question is - is it possible, to create such strategy, that would:
1 - receive call from IVR (with attached data)
2 - check if 'preffered agent' is available (one, exact extension per attached data set)
      - if agent is available route call to this agent (without any queue, just transfer call)
      - if agent is unavailable route call to standard queue..

Technical guy in my company said it's not possible to do...

Thanks!

Yes, it is possible. This is very general and common scenario, which almost all Call Center software must have

Thanks!

We're working on Genesys, both IVR and routing. Could You please point me the document in which I could find how to do that?

docs.genesyslab.com - Routing and specific T-Server (do not know what type of PBX are you using)

Target 1 to specific Agents based on Attached Data and then Overflow route to Target 2 standard, generic Agent Groups - don't clear Target 1 if you still want to include specific Agents whilst attempting to Route to Target 2. Agents and Agent Groups are valid Target types and you don't have to apply a Queue to define a Target.

Sure, My company have done that on both Genesys and Avaya IC
