How the Call Landing Works
Call Landing Features and Functions
-
It is the moment when a call is successfully routed to an agent or representative who is going to pick up the call. This is the last stage of the call routing process, when the system chooses the most appropriate call destination based on the caller's needs, the time of day, and the agent's availability, and other considerations.
How the Queue Call Landing Works
Queue Call Landing
Queue Call Landing refers to the process or system involved in managing incoming calls that enter a call queue. In various communication systems, especially in customer service and support environments, a call queue is a feature that holds and organizes incoming calls until they can be directed to an available agent or representative. Here’s a breakdown of what Queue Call Landing typically involves:
Call Queuing
When a call comes in, it's placed into a queue if no agents are available to take the call immediately. This helps in managing high volumes of calls and ensures that each call is handled in an orderly manner.
Call Landing
This refers to the process by which a call enters the queue and is managed according to pre-set rules or configurations. It includes:
-
Initial Routing: Deciding which queue the call should enter based on various criteria such as the time of day, the caller's needs, or the skills required.
-
Queue Management: Handling the call within the queue until an agent is available. This might include playing hold music, providing estimated wait times, or offering self-service options.
-
Call Distribution: Once an agent becomes available, the system decides how to route the call to the agent. This might involve distributing calls based on agent skills, availability, or other rules.
Configuration Options
Queue Call Landing often includes various settings and options, such as:
-
Enable/Disable Options: For features like showing or hiding the contact number, or whether to provide information about the caller before connecting them to an agent.
-
Real-Time Controls: Adjustments that can be made in real-time, such as changing how calls are handled or routed while they are in the queue.
-
Redirects: Options to redirect calls to different URLs or CRM systems based on queue settings.
Integration with Other Systems
Queue Call Landing may also involve integration with other systems, such as:
-
CRM Systems: To provide agents with contextual information about the caller.
-
Analytics and Reporting Tools: To track call queue performance, such as average wait times, abandonment rates, and agent performance metrics.

-
Select Your App
Once on the dashboard, you'll see a list of your existing apps. Find and click on the app for which you want to set up a webhook. The App ID for each app will be displayed here.
-
Retrieve the App Secret Key
To get the App Secret Key, follow these steps: -
Navigate to the Settings section on the left sidebar.
-
Under Settings, click on Basic. Here, you’ll find the App Secret Key, which you’ll need for authentication purposes.
-
Obtain an Expiring Access Token
To get an expiring access token for API calls or testing, visit the Access Token Tool. Generate the token for the app you’re working on, but keep in mind that tokens expire after a certain period.
-
Create Your Webhook URL
Using a programming language that supports HTTP callbacks (such as Python, PHP, Node.js, etc.), create a Webhook URL. This URL will handle incoming requests from Facebook's webhook system.
-
Add the Webhook Product
-
Go back to your Facebook app’s dashboard.
-
In the left sidebar, click Add Product, and from the list, locate Webhooks. Click on it to add the Webhook feature to your app.

-
In the process, you will also need to generate your App Token and provide the necessary subscription fields (e.g., user profile updates, page events) that your webhook will listen to.
-
Verify and Activate the Webhook
Once you submit the callback URL and select the necessary subscriptions, Facebook will verify the webhook by sending a challenge request to the callback URL. Ensure your server responds correctly to this verification. Once verified, your webhook will be live and ready to receive event notifications.
How to Create a Permanent Access Token for Facebook
How to Create a Permanent Access Token for Facebook
Ensure You Have a Business-Type App
If you already have a Facebook app that is classified as Business type, you can skip to Step 4. Otherwise, follow the steps below to create one.
Create a Business-Type App
-
Go to the Facebook Developer Apps Dashboard.
-
Click on Create App to start the process of creating a new app.
-
When prompted to choose the app type, select Business and then select "Other" if no specific use case fits your needs.
-
Complete the necessary fields like the app name, contact email, and app purpose, then click Create App.
Configure the App for Business Use
Once your app is created, make sure you configure it correctly for business use by adding the necessary products and permissions, as explained later in this guide.
Generate a Permanent Access Token
-
From your app’s Settings panel, click on System Users. This is where you manage users for your app.
-
Click Add, then choose Create. You will need to choose whether this user will be an Admin. Admin users typically have more permissions.
-
After you have created the system user, click on the user's name to open their details.
Generate Access Token
-
In the system user details page, click Generate Access Token.
-
During token generation, make sure to set the Expiration to "None" to ensure that the token does not expire. This is crucial for creating a permanent access token that does not require frequent renewal.
Verify Permissions
-
Ensure that your account and the system user have the correct permissions assigned to perform actions on your app or page. If you haven't set up these permissions:
- Go to Assign Assets from the system user's settings.
- Assign permissions such as Manage Pages, Publish Content, or any other permission relevant to your business needs.
- After assigning the permissions, click Save to apply the configuration.
Use the Permanent Access Token
Once generated, the permanent access token can now be used to interact with Facebook's APIs for managing pages, posting content, retrieving insights, or performing other automated tasks. Since you’ve set it as non-expiring, it will remain valid indefinitely unless manually revoked.
