Call Queue forwarding to external number

Hello,

I set up a new call queue for our sales team and they would like to answer calls from that queue on their personal (external) number. I told them to use the forward all calls option but that seems to only work when their extension is dialed directly rather than from the call queue. I've been messing with this for a bit and can't seem to figure it out, are calls received from a queue able forwarded from the client side? If so, how can that be done?

Thank you!

Hi Joseph, I'm currently checking if there's a workaround for this.

The call queues check the status of the call queue members before offering a call. A call is offered only to Available agents.
If you set a call forwarding, the agent will appear Unavailable to the call queue. Instead of setting call forwarding, you have 2 options:

1. Have your users download the RingCentral mobile app.

2. If for some reason you don't want to use the mobile app, you need to add the external mobile number as an additional device to ring for the respective user.
