    Article summary

    Handling certain types of calls requires a specific skill set that not all agents may have. With skills-based routing, you can ensure calls are directed to agents based on their ranked proficiency, improving efficiency and customer satisfaction.

    Who can use this

    Skills-based routing is available to Dialpad Support and Dialpad Sell customers.

    Configure skills-based call routing

    To configure skills-based call routing, head to your Dialpad Admin Settings.

    1. Navigate to Dialpad Admin Settings > Contact Centers and select your desired Contact Center

    2. Go to Business Hours & Call Routing > Call Routing and select Edit Call Routing

    3. From the Routing Options in the Call Routing panel, select Skills-based

    4. Select Rate your agents and rate each agent

      • 0 is the lowest rating, and 100 is the highest rating

      • By default, all agents start with a rating 100

    5. Select Close

    If multiple agents share the same rating, Dialpad routes a call to the agent with the longest idle time.
