Welcome Message

Welcome to my blog about Cisco Collaboration, voice, and contact center technologies.

I’m Dmytro Benda, a Cisco instructor (CCSI#33268) and collaboration specialist. Here I share practical articles, lab notes, configuration tips, and troubleshooting ideas based on real work with Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Unified CME, gateways, CUBE, and contact center solutions.

This blog is for engineers, students, and anyone working with Cisco collaboration technologies who wants clear technical content and real-world examples. I also post updates about Cisco training, my own courses, and upcoming learning activities.

If you have a question related to a post, a technology covered here, or Cisco training, feel free to get in touch.

A common example is technical email activity that only needs to be completed, not reprocessed or assigned to an agent.

This post shows how to automatically clean up the Default Exception Queue by using an Alarm Workflow.
