Create a Default Phone Channel

To consistently manage incoming calls, create a default phone channel and associate it with a flow to process all incoming calls before routing them to call center queues. You can also use a default phone channel to link outbound calls to an End User record.

Before you create a phone channel:

Unless you set up your contact center to route calls directly to and from reps, outbound calls can be linked only to a default phone channel.

  1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Amazon Setup or Partner Telephony Setup, depending on your telephony provider, and then select Amazon Setup or Partner Telephony Setup.
  2. Under Configure Default Phone Channel, click Edit.
    Configure Default Phone Channel option
  3. By default, the default phone channel is named DefaultVoiceChannel. To rename it, enter a new channel name.
  4. To set up default voice call routing regardless of the contact center, select a routing type for the default phone channel, and select a queue or Omni-Channel flow.
    Edit default phone channel and its routing window
  5. Save your changes.
