    Hi John,

    Genesys doesn't have a native block list, that I know of. The only way we're able to block calls is by putting numbers behind a common module that references a data table. Said table holds all of our blocked numbers. If number is on list = play blocked messaging + disconnect. Obviously, this is very inefficient for individual agents, so we only do this as needed. We use the same strategy for our toll frees when issues arise.

    John,

    Take a look at this thread. If you scroll down you will see @Ramu P mentions a very interesting GIT repository posting here.

    Now, I have not attempted this myself, and I don't know if it would work for DID calls to a User, but it's worth a shot! What I like about it (assuming I'm reading it correctly) is that it does not require the usual Common Module approach that then has to be called from all Inbound flows.

    Hey John,

    Could you elaborate a little more on what you're trying to accomplish / what the use case would be? Are you trying to stop ALL calls being routed directly to an agent with a DID? Are some agents receiving spam calls to their DID?

    Depending on the scenario, this could be accomplished in a few different ways, such as removing the DID number from the agent's profile, having their numbers route to a queue to be blocked, adding their numbers to a Data Table and performing some action, etc.
