impiantitel Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 hi, with *87+extension I make an absent response on extensions that does not respond. with *87 I make a generic answer I was wondering if you could create "response groups for absent, and its code "*87" to respond only to that group. Scenario: - crying ground extension 201-202-203 - second floor extension 209-210-211 - 201 calls 202 and the 209 digit *87 to answer another call actually answers the 201 without wanting it. I have several customers with this need and this lack limits my sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impiantitel Posted May 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 example scenario: Company first floor -> extension 201-202-203-204 Company fourth floor -> extension 209-210-211-212 Company seventh floor -> extension 215-216-217 if example 209 calls the 217 and extension 201 dials *87 to answer the other call actually answers the 209. And that's not good. you would need to create response groups for absent, example: group 1 -> 201-202-203-204 group 2 -> 209-210-211-212 group 2 -> 215-216-217 with *87+ inside I answer to the extension ringing with *87 I answer in a generic way with *87+2 (example) I answer the incoming call on group 2 Almost all telephone exchanges have this option, even Grandstream's UCM for example has this important option.

Vodia PBX Posted June 1, 2019 Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 You can dial *87 but you can also dial *87xxx where xxx is the group that you want to pick up. You can also put the group on a BLF button where the user just has to press the button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impiantitel Posted June 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 I guess you mean *87+hunt group. I'm referring to something different. Create Pickup groups where to insert the extension example 6222 then any call comes in the 6222 pickup group just make *876222 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodia PBX Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 Pickup groups can be set up using the BLF buttons - it works with the pickup code but without the extension behind the code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
