    We have a unique use case that we are trying to figure out

    We are trying to connect an inbound call with an outbound call. This can't be a blind transfer or a dialer call since no users will be logged in GC.

    1- Incoming calls comes in and navigates through IVR. 2- We lookup the phone number of the nurse on call 3- GC will need to place an outbound call to the nurse on call 4- When the nurse answers they will press 1 to accept the call or 2 to reject 5- If they accept the call we need to conference the 2 calls together

    Any help would be appreciated it

    This isn't currently possible using Genesys Cloud; the inbound IVR cannot place outbound calls nor can it create conferences. The best workaround I can suggest is to use standard ACD routing: have your on-call persons logged in to Genesys Cloud and ready for ACD interactions so you can transfer the caller to that queue to be routed per the queue's in-queue configuration.

    This would be a good feature to request and share your use case at https://genesyscloud.ideas.aha.io/.

    Actually Pure 3391 should provide something that is very close to the requirements listed above. It will require all the participants to be part of a group and have a remote station configured.

    A new setting for Remote Stations to solve the issues introduced by Call Analysis when used with Group Ring.

    When enabled:

    1. Remote Station is answered/connected
    2. Edge plays a built-in IVR flow which plays a System Prompt. Defaults to something like "Incoming remote station call. Press 1 to accept, or press 9 to decline".
    3. Ringback for original caller continues
    4. Once a station accepts, a whisper tone plays to indicate the two-way audio has been established.

    Prompt can be modified by admins with appropriate verbiage and language support.

    Just a heads up, that feature isn't released yet.
