About types of Routing Table steps

You can add these types of steps to routing tables:

Greeting	A Greeting step plays a greeting to callers waiting in a skillset. You assign
	greeting parameters to each greeting. After the greeting plays, the call goes
	to the next routing step. If there is no next step, the call ends.
	An EWT Greeting step uses the EWT Table you select to play estimated
	wait time messages to callers. EWT greeting steps act the same as
	greeting steps.

Distribute for	During a Distribute for step, calls wait to be distributed to agents. If no
	agents are available before the distribution time expires, the call goes to
	the next step in the routing table. If there is no next step set up in the
	routing table, the call ends.
	The minimum distribution time is zero and the maximum distribution time is
	59 minutes and 59 seconds. The default distribution time is 30 seconds.

Goto	A Goto step is the last step in a routing table. A Goto step moves the caller
	to an earlier routing step.
	For example, if a Goto step points to step 1, the call goes back to step 1
	and repeats the steps. The steps are repeated until an agent becomes
	available or the caller leaves a message in the skillset mailbox.
	The first step in a routing table cannot be a Goto step because there are no
	possible target steps yet.
	A Goto step cannot point to itself.

Transfer	A Transfer step can transfer calls to:
	•	an extension
	•	a mailbox
	•	an external number
	•	the Automated Attendant
	•	an operator
	•	a CCR Tree

Disconnect	A Disconnect step releases calls from the skillset. If the first step in a
	routing table is a Disconnect, Call Center does not answer the call.
