**Use:**&#x20;

* *Call Center:* Want  build a call center type of application. You can use queue and [enqueue](https://www.didforsale.com/didml-reference/enqueue) to put the caller in the queue and queue to connect the agents with the callers waiting.

While there are no limitation on where \<queue> can be used, there are set of attributes to use with \<queue>. Below is a list of attributes to be used with \<queue>, each attribute has a specific function and can use certain values.

### Attributes

| <p><strong>Attribute</strong><br></p> | <p><strong>Value</strong><br></p> | <p><strong>Default</strong><br></p> |
| ------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| url                                   | web URL                           | none                                |
| Method                                | POST/GET                          | POST                                |

#### Here is an example of how \<queue> is used within code.

```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<Response>
     <dial>
         <queue>support</queue>
     </dial>
 </Response>
```

In the above example, caller waiting in queue will be connect the agent. If you want to make an announcement to the caller. Follow the example below.<br>

```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<Response>
     <dial>
         <queue url="connectionnow.xml">support</queue>
     </dial>
 </Response>
```

System will pull connectingnow\.xml and execute the instructions before connecting the caller to the agent. Here is sample example file for connectingnow\.xml

```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<Response>
         <say>Thank you for your patience, now you will be connected to support specialist</say>
 </Response>
```

### Troubleshooting

* Make sure attributes inside the nodes are in quotes " ".
