Managing opt-out and Not Ready reasons
Last Updated:
Zoom Contact Center admins can manage queue opt-out or Not Ready reasons.
If queue opt-out reasons are enabled, users are required to select a reason when they disable notifications from a queue (also known as opting out of a queue).
If Not Ready reasons are enabled, users are required to select a reason when they set their status to Not Ready. For example, if call queue members need to opt-out or set their status to Not Ready for lunch or break, you can allow users to select Lunch or Break as a reason.
You can also view user-level settings to view all reasons that a specific user can select.
