Just a few days ago, Microsoft made generally available new features for Office365 CloudPBX functionality which is the Auto Attendant and Call Queues. As its name implies, Auto Attendant allows companies to create an intelligent virtual receptionist that helps callers navigate the system with interactive prompts, while Call Queues provides a mechanism to offer a single number to call for distribution lists or multiple Skype for Business Online users at the same time. This article walks through the creation of Auto Attendants and Call Queues using the web administrative portal. Do note the following two points which are applicable at the time of this writing:

1. Auto Attendants and Call Queues are supported in a pure-cloud environments. Hybrid environments such as the one seen in this walkthrough are not officially supported

2. Creation and set-up of auto attendants requires either getting or transferring existing toll or toll-free service numbers. In addition, toll-free service numbers require PSTN Consumption Billing to be setup. In this walkthrough we will acquire and use toll-free service numbers for our Auto Attendant and Call Queues but note that none of this will be callable as we do not have PSTN Consumption Billing setup.

With the above, lets begin the walk-through.
