Handling incoming call flows and internal communications tends to get hectic for receptionists during busy hours. However, with this update, it is now very easy for them to handle these communications expeditiously. We have made an addition – A new view in the \u2018Panel\u2019 for Web Client and Desktop App. It enables users who are assigned a \u2018Receptionist\u2019 role, easy access to the team members in their respective groups. Simply right-clicking on an extension displays quick and multiple actions like call, chat, email, and video conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Status Scheduler for Users:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

Who does not like setting up work schedules to be more proactive and productive? Our users will now be in control of their respective statuses by setting up their own specific schedules. To utilize this option, users will need to click on \u2018Settings > Status > Status Scheduler\u2019. It also has to be noted that, the auto-switch configuration setting has now been moved from the management console to Web Client & Desktop App. Any existing configuration will remain unchanged until it is updated by the user via either of the client options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combined URLs to Talk & Meet:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Users will now be able to customize their Talk and Meet links with their \u2018friendly name\u2019 which can be chosen respectively by them. To edit the URL, the user simply needs to click on \u2018Settings > General\u2019 and it will be updated instantly. Users with existing different URLs for each will continue to work as before. Even so, when you edit the extension in the management console, a prompt will need the URLs to be merged with a single friendly name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Chat Customization Moved to the Management Console:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
