  • 1.  5 digited DID Configuration

    Hello everyone,

    How do we configure a 5 digited DID number without '+' and Country code? I want this to be used for transfer number. Can anyone please help on this?

    Hello Sai... what's the use case? What kind of call would be transferred to where?

    Hello Dean, 

    Thanks for the response. In an architect flow, we assigned a flow to a DID number, now in the same flow we setup a logic for transfer call. Transfer call is where the call is transferred from one department to another. So, if I receive a call through normal TFN or DID Number, I want to transfer it to another department with 5 digited number. Now, to transfer a call we need to assign a number, which shouldn't contain '+' and country code. It should be a random 5-digit number (23456 for example). If we try in DID numbers, the starting numbers are considering as country code and also with '+'. I hope you understood.

    So when you say another department... are you intending to send the call to another flow? Or just a queue? What's the actual outcome of the transfer?

    Let's say there are 2 calls, one is direct call and another one is transfer. We need to increase priority for transfer, and we can do it in the flow. (Not sure if we have other ways to increase priority). Transfer will be to another flow which has another queue. While trying to transfer to flow or queue option, most of the times the either naming convention is too long, or flow name won't appear while testing. In order to remove all these, we need to create a 5 digited number to transfer to another queue or flow. For transfer to another queue we need to setup high priority.

    Ok. What I would do is create a dummy did range using the e.164 format (say, +15554001000 - +15554002000), then assign one of those numbers to a route that uses the flow you want to send the call to. Then you can just transfer the call to that number in your initial flow. 

    Also, you could use a data table with those numbers in them as the index value to help control variables like priority or queue in that second flow. Just look that number up when it hits your 2nd flow and retrieve those attributes. It'll be what's called the "session dnis", which is the transfer to number. 

    You could use a shorter digit string, but it probably just makes it more complex.

    Hi,

    Why not just transfer to flow? Or are these other departments on another system?

    Hi Paul,

    Thanks for the response, while transferring to flow, most of the times the flow name is not showing in suggestions and after entering the whole name also it is not appearing in the flow names/ queue. Only to person or number it's working.

    Hmmm.

    If the flow is an inbound call, and is published, it should show up. If it isn't, I'd open a ticket with Care.

    Another option is to use button in the agent script, you can set the button press to go to whatever flow or queue you need.

    You could then have an internal flow that all internal calls go to for prioritization and any other common checks and bits and pieces.

    You could go direct to queue, and assuming all your other calls have skills, you could just check if there is no skill assigned and if not then its an internal transfer and update priority in the in queue flow.
