  • 1.  Caller ID

    Posted 4 hours ago

    We have a bit of a bespoke setup for some users. The users are back office users that receive calls in Genesys via DIDs that route to an inbound call flow. The call flow performs failover routing, so if the user does not answer the call it routes to another user. This all works fine but the issue we have is as the inbound numbers are not assigned directly to the users, they are assigned to Call Routes, we are unable to set the inbound numbers as the users' caller IDs as it detects the number as a duplicate value. Is there any other way of acheiving this?

    Hey James, from what I understood you are basically having issue with how to show a different number on the Caller ID for each of your users, as the numbers you would like to use are already being used for the call flow. Right?

    Well, I'm not 100% sure, but I think you can set the "Work Phone" contact of each user with any numbers (Even if it's not a DID created on your org), and that number would be used when your user calls. Have you tried setting the desired numbers this way?

    If that doesn't work, I believe you can also use an user's extension. So you might be able to create an extension using the same numbers as the DID (Haven't tried, just an idea).

    So maybe, let's say your DID is: +11 2222 3333
    You might be able to create an extension as: 1122223333

    Not sure if that even helps you, but maybe it gives some direction.

    Also keep in mind what is on the documentation below, as you need to setup your trunk so that the calls get the Caller ID number from the appropriate source (Be it the extension, or Work Phone from the user, or a queue, etc.):

    Use the Prioritized Caller Selection feature to configure caller ID information - Genesys Cloud Resource Center
