Sometimes, customers misuse or abuse the users of the organization. Some of the customers also call repeatedly to the users, which hampers the working of the users. In such cases, the Administrator is able to blacklist the incoming calls of the customers. The contacts that have been added to the blacklist lead are not able to call the contact center. The organization can decide how to handle such customers differently.
