Using SMS with call queues or auto receptionists In Zoom App

Using SMS with call queues or auto receptionists In Zoom App

Users may send or receive SMS messages using numbers associated with call queues or automatic receptionists (e.g. the main automatic receptionist, only if enabled by an admin) via their phones if an admin has enabled the feature. If you are a member of a group, you will be able to view SMS messages sent to the entire group via this feature. Essentially, all other members will be prevented from replying to any conversation that you reply to, as that particular conversation will remain private. Alternatively, you can release a discussion for other members to respond to.

It is possible to view SMS messages sent to the team phone number by all members, for example, if the admin has created a customer service team (call queue) and enabled SMS for it. Customer service representatives will receive an SMS notification when they receive a text message from a customer. Whenever a customer needs assistance, any representative can reply to them.

Note : 
Zoom Phone Power Pack must be installed on your computer to use the feature.
