Possibility to reroute a call in queue to busy message when agent is busy

[sebastien.saey]

Hiya!

We provide the vitalpbx system for our customers and one of them has a question to which I do not know how to solve.
We set up a queue for them with 2 extensions and now they asked us if the following was possible:
When a call enters the queue and 1 of the extensions picks up the call, all future calls while they are busy shoud be rerouted to an announcement we created, even if the other extension is available.

Is there anyone here that knows how to set this up?

Could you use something like a ring group? If not, you might need custom dial plan to do what you are looking to accomplish.

Hello,

Thanks for the responses, I tried it with @PitzKey 's attempt, but this does not work. The 2 other extensions in the follow me don’t ring when setting it up like that.
So I’m kind of at a loss here and I think this is a demand from our customer which cannot be met with Vitalpbx.

Here’s where a custom dial string would help…

Virtual Devices

Hello, I see that there’s a new feature added to the extensions, called Virtual Virtual Devices, which, from what I understand, it allows you to create an extension and “attach” a virtual device, thus, allowing you to set an external phone number in this section.

When entering a number, I see that it sets t…

That dial string would look something like:

local/102@cos-all&local/102@cos-all

Unfortunately, this was never implemented
