PBX email notification usage
This scenario simulates a call center where two agents work answering inbound calls, however, on some occasions, the agents are unable to handle the volume of inbound calls, and eventually they timeout. An email notification object has been configured in this scenario to alert the call center manager when inbound calls timeout, so they can react in real-time as opposed to historical reporting.
