Category-based call routing allows you to direct incoming calls to specific agents based on their category association. This ensures calls are handled by the most relevant team members, improving efficiency and resolution time.

Ensure that the agent role has the Manage Voice permission enabled. Additionally, the role should have Manage Agents and Manage Categories permissions.
