Direct effects for Operations**

Inadequate Configuration of Auto Attendants and Call Queues
Without proper preparation, the simplified setup may lead to misconfigured Auto Attendants and Call Queues, resulting in calls being routed incorrectly or not at all, causing user frustration and potential loss of business.
