Enabling call overflow

After adding a Voice channel to your Trengo inbox, you can choose to enable or disable ‘Call overflow’. With this feature, you can forward a customer’s call, when they reach out to you outside your business hours, when your voice queue is full, or when there is no user available to pick up the call.
