What is the Communication Queue?
Created customer Email or SMS Communications for customers must be processed further before being sent. The Communication Queue lists Email and SMS Communications. Communications in the Queue can either be processed directly through CRM.COM or by an external system.
Communications sent to the Queue with a Communication Queue External System, are processed by third party systems instead of CRM.COM. To enable this, third party system must integrate with CRM.COM using the available CRM.COM WEB APIs.
Once the Communications are processed by third party systems, they must be marked as 'Completed' or 'Rejected' accordingly.
Which Communications are sent to the Queue?
Communications that satisfy either of the following conditions, are sent to the Communication Queue:
- The Media is set to Email and the Email Server Settings are enabled.
- The Media is set to SMS and the SMS Server Settings are enabled.
- A Communication Queue External System is specified.
