Routing in fallback scenarios

Sometimes, an interaction that arrives in a queue that has predictive routing enabled could be routed using a different routing method because of one of the following reasons: interaction timed out, predictive routing failed due to an error, or one of the test modes is enabled. For more information on how an agent is identified using predictive routing, see Agent identification.

The following matrix helps you understand the routing method when the specific scenario applies.
