Home - Tips - Understanding Call Groups and Their Impact on Enhancing Call Handling
Reviewed by : Prasanta Raut
These days, it is essential to make customers happy. Effective communication is paramount in today’s business landscape.
Satisfying clients is no longer a choice, and efficient communication is significant in today’s fast-moving business world.
Using call groups in the customer service department has made managing calls like taking candy from a baby and ensuring that no stone is left unturned when it comes to dealing with client concerns.
Let’s explore call groups and how does call groups enhance call handling.

A call group is a call routing mechanism that sends incoming calls to a set of phone numbers. These groups have agents from related teams, such as customer service or a specific group of people. Call groups are a way to send calls among multiple agents or departments. In business telephone systems, call groups are a standard feature.
Call groups not only satisfy customers but also maintain and support a collaborative work environment by distributing the call management responsibility among the team members.
Call management is the way to manage calls efficiently, where you can add or remove people quickly based on their needs, skills, or availability. This is especially useful for companies that are changing call volumes or teams with members working at different schedules.
It helps businesses manage human resources in a flexible manner. The call group system leverages VoIP technology to route calls over the Internet, providing flexibility and efficiency in managing call volume.
Here’s how call groups work:
A call group is a group of call center agents gathered together to resolve incoming support calls based on specific standards.
Call groups play a crucial role in enhancing call handling in several ways, including efficient distribution, improved responsiveness, flexibility, and others so that calls are handled effectively within an organization.
Here’s how call groups enhance call handling:
In this digital world, if a business does not provide prompt solutions and increases customer wait times, it can lead to customer frustration and a negative customer experience. By distributing the calls among a team of agents, a call group ensures callers reach a live person quickly.
Satisfied customers are happy customers. The main good thing about contact groups is that they make sure unhappy customers can quickly talk to the right people at a business to fix their problem. This improves the customer’s experience.
Call groups ensure reduced wait times and efficient call distribution, allowing agents to focus better and handle calls effectively. This leads to increased agent productivity and lower agent turnover.
The work team can help each other by using the call group feature. Teammates share the work of answering calls. This creates a good feeling of being in a group with a shared goal.
Setting up and managing call groups entails numerous procedures to ensure that inbound calls are routed to the relevant agents or departments.
Here are some general guides:
Implementing call groups effectively can successfully improve communication and customer service efficiency within an organization. Directing incoming calls to the dedicated teams of extensions or users streamlines interaction processes.
Ring Patterns can be a very useful addition to call groups. It affects the order in which a portion or the whole of the members of a call group are notified when a phone number or extension is dialed.
Call groups use specific ring patterns to determine how incoming calls are distributed among the members of the group.
There are three main types of call group ring patterns:
This is the most common call group ring strategy pattern, in which the calls are routed to each team member one at a time in a predetermined order. If the first person is unable to attend the calls, they move to the next person quickly in line, which ensures calls are handled in an organized way.
In this pattern, calls are made to each member of the group once in a circular manner if no one answers the calls the first time, where the calls ring again in the same fashion until someone picks up.
A ring pattern is a call pattern in a Call Group that rings all of the agents simultaneously. The agent who answers the phone initially addresses the customer’s concerns.
These ring pattern helps to maintain the call volume in the organizations so that the customer’s queries are resolved promptly. This reduces customers’ wait times and enhances clients satisfaction.
While both call groups and call hunting have the same purpose, which is to increase the chances of a caller getting through to an agent, there are some differences between them.
Dialaxy’s cloud-based inbound call center solutions enable businesses to automate the agent’s incoming calls easily. Setting up call groups allows you to acquire various abilities such as call recording, call monitoring, call forwarding, and advanced IVR, which can help the contact center enjoy several ringing simultaneously within your corporate institution.
Here’s how:
Step 1: Sign up for Dialaxy and then sign into the dashboard.
Step 2: Select the country from which you wish to purchase the number.
Step 3: Purchase phone numbers and submit the paperwork.
Step 4: Invite agents to the workspace and share phone numbers.
Step 5: Incorporate interactive voice response and automated call distribution features into your system (for mass inbound calls).
A call group helps businesses manage large call volumes and human resources in a flexible manner. Call groups can manage calls efficiently, and you can add or remove people based on their skills and requirements to resolve and handle the caller’s queries.
Call groups streamline call-handling processes, such as improving customer experience, increasing agent productivity, increasing team collaboration, and enhancing overall customer service. They also drive business success by ensuring efficient and effective communication between businesses and their customers.
Yes, call group systems generally allow one agent to be a member of multiple call groups. This will enable individuals to support multiple departments or tasks as needed.
Here are the steps to initiate a call group,
Step 1: Dial the first participant
Step 2: Activate the “Add Call” or “Conference ” feature
Step 3: Dial additional participants
Step 4: Wait for the connection
Step 5: Merge calls
Step 6: Start conversation
Setting up a call group requires you to choose the call group provider that sites your business needs.
Here’s how you can set up a call group in some common call group providers:
Step 1: Open your account
Step 2: Click on users and performance
Step 3: put information for your team or group
Step 4: Choose your desired ring pattern
Step 5: Allow call transfers or pick-ring times for incoming calls
Step 6: When set up, save and activate the call group
Step 7: Test to confirm it functions properly.
Yes, call groups can be organized based on different conditions like time, caller location, and IVR menu alternatives. This flexibility enables firms to direct calls to the most appropriate agents or departments, resulting in effective call handling.
