What is Priority Queue?
Priority Queue is a call center feature that identifies incoming calls or queues requiring a higher level of urgency and automatically moves them up in line. In Yeastar call center settings, the priority of a call is calculated using this formula:
Priority of a Call = Queue Weight + Call Waiting Time (in Seconds) / Acceleration
• Queue Weight sets the initial priority of calls as they enter the queue.
• Acceleration increases the importance of a call the longer the call waits in the queue.
The higher the final value, the higher the priority of the call.
In this formula, the Acceleration parameter works in conjunction with the initial Queue Weight to determine the final priority of a call. This ensures incoming calls from higher priority queues or calls that wait for a long time get delivered first, which plays a critical role in:
Delivering faster assistance to high-weight callers
Allocating agent resources more efficiently
Meeting service level agreement (SLA)
Use Case of Priority Queue
Priority Queue is valuable in call center environments where agents may be part of multiple queues and certain calls need to take precedence over others.
Businesses can assign different priority values to different queues to ensure important customers are efficiently prioritized and promptly served:
Prioritize calls from emergency hotlines
Prioritize VIP calls
Prioritize calls with longer waiting time
