Distribution method
Distribution method is the method of email delivery to the Agent Desktop.
Use the pull method to keep all incoming emails in the service queue. The emails will be visible to the agents of the teams associated with this service. (See the description of the Assignments tab). Agents must select emails manually to process from this queue.
Use the push method to deliver incoming emails directly to the Agent Desktop like calls and chats. Agents can accept incoming emails for immediate processing or move emails to My Queue for processing at a later time. For information about agents' availability to process email interactions, see section Omni-Channel Routing.
The order in which incoming emails are delivered is determined first by priority and then by the shortest remaining time to breach the configured service level. (See the description of the Service Level settings below.) For more information about email priority, see section Scenario Entries - Email.
