Get Details for a Call Queue with Customer Experience Essentials

Retrieve Call Queue details.

Call queues temporarily hold calls in the cloud, when all agents assigned to receive calls from the queue are unavailable. Queued calls are routed to an available agent, when not on an active call. Each call queue is assigned a lead number, which is a telephone number that external callers can dial to reach the users assigned to the call queue. Call queues are also assigned an internal extension, which can be dialed internally to reach the users assigned to the call queue.

Retrieving call queue details requires a full or read-only administrator auth token with a scope of spark-admin:telephony_config_read.
