First in first out queue routing

By default, Contact Center AI Platform (CCAI Platform) prioritizes transferred sessions over incoming calls and chats. If you want all calls or chats to be treated in a first in first out (FIFO) manner, regardless of whether they are transferred, you can turn on FIFO queue routing. Transferred sessions include transferred calls and chats and virtual agent escalations. FIFO queue routing applies to the IVR, mobile, and web channels. You can apply FIFO queue routing globally and at the queue level.
