Critical: Hunt Group Migration Batching Rule

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|  [!]️ MIGRATION RULE: Hunt Group members MUST migrate together               |
|                                                                             |
|  All agents in a hunt group must move to Webex Calling in the same batch.  |
|  Split migration (some agents on CUCM, some on Webex) will break routing.  |
|                                                                             |
|  Pre-migration checklist:                                                  |
|  [ ] Identify all hunt group members                                         |
|  [ ] Assign all members to same migration batch                             |
|  [ ] Validate all member phones are MPP-capable                             |
|  [ ] Configure hunt group in Webex before member cutover                    |
