Frequently asked questions
What is Automated Call Distribution (ACD)?
Automated Call Distribution (ACD) is a system that automatically routes each incoming call to the most appropriate available agent or team — using criteria like skills, availability, priority, and round-robin rules — without manual operator intervention.
What routing strategies does AI Phone's ACD support?
AI Phone supports skill-based routing (route to the agent best qualified for the call type), round-robin (distribute calls evenly across the team), least-busy (route to the agent with the fewest active calls), and priority routing (route high-value callers to senior agents).
How does ACD handle situations where all agents are busy?
When all agents are busy, calls enter a queue with configurable wait-time announcements. Overflow rules can route calls to a backup team, a callback option, an AI agent, or voicemail when wait times exceed a defined threshold.
Does ACD work with skills-based routing for specialized teams?
Yes. You assign skills to agents (language, product knowledge, account type, etc.) and configure queues to route calls requiring those skills to agents who have them — improving first-contact resolution and reducing transfers.
