Routes Module
The Routes module is used to configure all incoming and outgoing routes within the platform.
Example Use Case
For example, if an incoming call is received from Caller ID +12127773456 and is routed to the system from Caller ID 9739000000, we can define the action to bridge the call to a specific destination.
Additionally, we can set outgoing call rules and apply prefixes. This can be useful for features like "Spy and Barge" or Call Pickup.
Module Fields
-
Enabled – Indicates whether the route is enabled or disabled.
-
Type – The type of route, which can be one of the following:
- spy – Route that performs a spy and barge action. For example, to spy and barge on extension 1000, dial *9090 followed by the extension number.
- pickup_extension – Route to pick up a call from an extension. For example, if extension 9000 cannot answer, you can pick up the call by dialing *119000.
- pickup_group – Similar to the above, but allows you to pick up calls from a group call (e.g., a queue).
- follow_me_extension – Route that enables a Follow Me feature from an extension to an external number.
- follow_me_extension_disable – Disables the above "Follow Me" route.
