have a question regarding the **Find Agent** block.

1. I understand that the Estimated Wait Time (EWT) can be provided as a system variable. Is there a way to receive the **number of callers in queue** as a variable as well?
2. If it’s not possible to get the number of callers in queue as a variable, is there an API available that can provide this information?
3. If I want to use the number of callers in queue, would it require **custom development in the IVR**?

thank you.

There is a variable for position in queue - $(item.queuePos) which technically gives you a queue length in front of you.

But if you need an actual queue size, there is a way to get statistic using the Get Statistics block
