[Freeswitch-users] Help needed regaridng Contact Center solution

[g]

You can log an agent into a queue by a web application in which a button click 
handles commands via the FS socket, or just let the agent dial an extension 
(i.e. 999+itssoftphonenumber) where dialplan sets that agent in the correct 
state.
ie (replace agent_login regex into something like 999201 if your agent is 201)
<extension name="agent_login">
  <condition field="destination_number" expression="^agent-login$">
    <action application="set" data="res=${callcenter_config(agent set status 
${caller_id_number}@${domain_name} 'Available')}" />
    <action application="answer" data=""/>
    <action application="sleep" data="500"/>
    <action application="playback" data="ivr/ivr-you_are_now_logged_in.wav"/>
    <action application="hangup" data=""/>
  </condition>
</extension>

<extension name="agent_logoff">
  <condition field="destination_number" expression="^agent-logoff$">
    <action application="set" data="res=${callcenter_config(agent set status 
${caller_id_number}@${domain_name} 'Logged Out')}" />
    <action application="answer" data=""/>
    <action application="sleep" data="500"/>
    <action application="playback" data="ivr/ivr-you_are_now_logged_out.wav"/>
    <action application="hangup" data=""/>
  </condition>
</extension>

The important thing is tha the agent is, somehow, putted in "available" 
status. You can also do it via fs_cli, but now I can't remeber the exact 
syntax for that. Help from cli should clarify. 

At this point, the agent should result in "waiting" state
Of course, you should before declared that agent as member of a tier or, at 
least, of a queue.

Hope it helps
