    Queues are the “waiting line” of interactions. Agents select the On Queue status to enter their predefined queues. Organization admin queue settings include creating and managing queues for voice and chat channels for the entire organization. 

    Notes:
    • An organization can add up to 5000 queues.
    • Membership is limited to 5,000 members per queue.
    • You cannot duplicate a queue name. Each queue name must be unique.
    • A queue name cannot contain asterisks. 
    • A user with the Routing > QueueMember > Manage permission, but not the Routing > Queue > Edit permission, can only manage the queue membership.

    For information about queues, see the tasks outlined in the following articles.

    Task Description
