@Gerry
Thank you for taking the feedback on board.
I'm sorry I could have phrased it differently, we do not automate the allocation of requests to agents, eg we do not use round robin.
I didn't mean to imply Hornbill isn't doing anything else automatically, it very much does!
If any company doesn't use availability status to allocate requests though, is there a benefit to the button?
You could potentially use availability when assigning requests to individuals but as a process we assign to teams, not individuals. If we do need to find an individuals availability we would use our telephony or consult the individual's calendar.
I am a keen advocate for Hornbill and completely on board with this being useful, just not for everyone. Please consider making this button optional.
Many thanks
