Inbound Call Routing is the technical process of directing incoming telephone calls to a specific destination based on pre-defined logic. In the DevOps world, this logic is usually determined by on-call schedules, the time of day, or the caller's selection in an IVR menu. The goal is to ensure that the call reaches the person best equipped to handle the specific technical outage reported.
Key Benefits of Inbound Routing
- Load Balancing: Can be used to distribute incoming support calls across a team to prevent a single engineer from being overwhelmed.
- Follow-the-Sun Support: Automatically routes calls to different global regions based on the time of day.
- Priority Handling: Recognizes specific caller IDs (like high-value VIP customers) and routes them to a priority escalation path.
