Hi all,

I have created a group and added some users. When all the users of the group aren't loged in I want to set a forwarding. When I look at the properties of the group I don't see a call routing possibility. Is this somthing that can be done in swyx?

thanks for the help.

SwyxWare user groups do not have an own call routing, which would be needed right now.

But fortunately that's not much of a problem:

• create a new (dummy) user (as no one logs in on this user no additional user licenses is needed!)
• configure the number you wanted to use for the group to this user
• create the needed call routing on this user which finally connects the call to the group

 

In your case the call routing would be rather simple:

• use a Connect To block within the GSE to connect the call to the group
• the exit Connected will be reached if the call was connected (you can use PBXCall.ConnectedName and/or PBXCall.ConnectedNumber to check which group member took the call)
• the exit Busy will be reached if all logged in users in the group are busy (or have their lines disabled)
• the exit Timeout will be reached if after the configured time the call wasn't taken by anyone in the group
• the exit Not delivered will be reached if no one in the group is logged in

 

What ever you need to do in each of these case, just build it right behind that initial Connect To block.
You couldn't have more flexibility 🙂
Tom.
