[Freeswitch-users] Group confusions

[Michael Collins]

How much changing will there be in the members who are rung? Do you need to
be able to change the users dynamically? Or can you hard-code them? I see
two options, both of which use the time of day (TOD) routing:

Set up the day-night routing and during 8am-5pm manually dial the group like
this:
<extension name=tod_incoming">
  <condition wday="1-5" hour="8-17">
    <action application="bridge"
data="<ignore_early_media=true>user/xx1:_:user/xx2:_:user/xx3">
    <anti-action application="bridge"
data="<ignore_early_media=true>user/xx4:_:user/xx5:_:user/xx6">
  </condition>
</extension>

This creates a static list of users to be dialed during 8-5, M-F and a
separate, static list to be dialed outside those hours. That's quick and
easy and if you never need to change the users who are dialed then that's
the best option.

If, though, you need to be able to control who is in each group then
designate something like group "1" is day and group "2" is night. Have the
users dial 8101/8001 to join/leave the "day" group and dial 8102/8002 to
join/leave the "night" group. From there your dialplan is very similar to
the previous example:

<extension name=tod_incoming">
  <condition wday="1-5" hour="8-17">
    <action application="bridge"
data="{ignore_early_media=true}${group(call:01@${domain_name})}">
    <anti-action application="bridge"
data="{leg_timeout=15,ignore_early_media=true}${group(call:02@
${domain_name})}">
  </condition>
</extension>

This example simply calls group "01" during business hours and calls group
"02" during non-business hours. If you trust your users to add/remove
themselves properly then this method is nice.

Have fun tinkering, and let us know if you need help setting up
voicemail/auto attendant fallback if none of your users answers the incoming
call. ;)
