The Call Connect Router

...

applet can route incoming calls to numbers outside of Vonage Contact Center (VCC). The applet can route a call in several ways:

  • To a third-party interactive voice response (IVR)
  • To a third-party

...

  • automatic call distributor (ACD)
  • To a third-party hunt group
  • In a follow me application

You can configure up to 30 numbers to route the incoming call to.The numbers the applet can transfer calls to can be hardcoded or set dynamically in data sources or IVR slot; therefore the target numbers may change for each incoming call.

Info
titleData sources and IVR slots

Data sources and IVR slots are placeholders for values at run time. VCC replaces the placeholders with values for the target numbers before transferring the call.

Use the following format to specify a placeholder for a data source or IVR slot:

$(DataSourceOrIVRSlot)
