Abstract

Techniques are described herein for routing customer support requests via a vertical stack queue. The techniques may include receiving a request for customer support from a user device and identifying a group of agents available to serve the request. The group is associated with a stack queue, and the request is routed to a first level of contact queue pool that includes the group. Upon determining whether a wait time associated the stack queue at the first level of contact queue pool exceeds a predetermined threshold, an additional group of agents to serve the request is identified in addition to the group of the plurality of groups of agents. The group and an additional group of agents are distinct from each other. Upon identifying the additional group, the request is routed to a second level of contact queue pool that includes the additional group of agents.
