v20 Upgrades are Underway!
Upgrading to v20
We have successfully upgraded our first few customer instances to the next core platform release, version 20, and we're working to schedule the remaining upgrades over the next few months.
You'll receive notice from our team ahead of your planned upgrade, as it will require an outage window, but you shouldn't need to make any changes on your end. We are sending out upgrade notices in order of system complexity.

FFotW: Advanced Ring Strategies
Forgotten Feature of the Week
Available to users of the 1Stream View licenses and above, a Call Queue provides additional ring strategies over a basic Ring Group available on Lite plans.
Even partners using a queue already may end up in the trap of thinking Ring All is the best option to ensure the call gets answered consistently.
We've found that the Longest Waiting, Least Talk Time, and Fewest Answered ring strategies provide a much better experience in the long run for both your team, and callers. These strategies balance calls according to workload, and only ring one agent at a time, ensuring statements like "If your phone rings, it's your job to answer it" actually hold true.
Check out our article on the various strategies below for more details.
