Prepend Text

Posted by brian on

Hello,

It would be nice to have the feature to prepend text infront of CLI when sending an inbound route to multiple extensions as you can with a single extension.

Thanks,
Brian

Hi Erik,

I see the option when it's goto user extension on multidevice extension it's not there.

Thanks.

multidevice-exten is not something you select from inbound routes.. goto user extension works whether your extension is using multi-device extension or userexten or stdexten

Sorry - I'm not explaining myself well..

In inbound routes when you select Run script* Go To user Extension you have an option:

Text to prepend to caller id name

If you select: Multidevice device extension that option is not there.

Would be nice if it was.

Thanks,
Brian

and im telling you.. youre doing it wrong.. tl-multidevice-exten is NOT supposed to be used from inbound routes. The fact that it even appears in the list means a bug needs to be submitted.

here is how to use multidevice-exten

Go to the users extension...

change the script from tl-userexten to tl-multidevice-exten and select the other phones.

TL-MULTIDEVICE-EXTEN is design for a single EXTENSION to ring multiple devices while all sharing ONE mailbox yet preserve ALL the call forwarding, screening etc.

you have a GCE (gross conceptual error) as to what you're trying to accomplish. Either:

1) you dont intend for extension 100 to always call 4 phones and you REALLY meant to create a hunt list for this DID

2) you DO want extension 100 to always ring 4 devices and you have turned this on in the entirely wrong place.

in either case you need to either:

A) create a hunt list and use the goto-huntlist script (which has a prepend text)

B) use go to extension 100 ... which has a prepend text, and the extension 100's script calls the 4 phones.
