Managing Service Group
Service Group is groups or teams of supporting staff serving as the final endpoint for all incoming enquiries. This staff are responsible for answering enquiries from your CINNOX channels. As it is your organization's frontline contact with visitors and customers to handle enquiries, flexibility is one of the main concerns for the quality of the service.
CINNOX provides flexibility in the options of the three destination types to pick up your visitor and customer enquiries:
| Destination Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Staff List | Staff accounts created in CINNOX are listed as a destination endpoint to handle visitor calls and chat enquiries. |
| PSTN Phone | Requires a phone number as the endpoint to handle the call enquiry. |
| SIP Trunk | Requires assistance from the CINNOX Support Team to integrate your SIP trunk to CINNOX. Please contact us for more information. |
