Follow Me
Follow Me is a method to associate multiple extensions to ring together. An example use for this would be to have a user's cell phone
associate with their desk extension so their cell phone will right when their desk phone rings. Or you can set it so their cell phone will ring 5
seconds after their desk phone. To set up a Follow Me click on Applications - Follow Me. Then click the extension on the right that you wish to
add a Follow Me on.
● Disable - By default (not checked) any call to this extension will go to this
Follow-Me instead, including directory calls by name from IVRs. If checked,
calls will go only to the extension. However, destinations that specify
FollowMe will come here. Checking this box is often used in conjunction
with VmX Locater, where you want a call to ring the extension, and then
only if the caller chooses to find you do you want it to come here.
● Initial Ring Time - This is the number of seconds to ring the primary
extension prior to proceeding to the follow-me list. The extension can also
be included in the follow-me list. A 0 setting will bypass this.
● Ring Strategy -
○ Ringallv2: ring Extension for duration set in Initial Ring Time,
and then, while continuing call to extension, ring Follow-Me List
for duration set in Ring Time.
○ Ringall: ring Extension for duration set in Initial Ring Time, and
then terminate call to Extension and ring Follow-Me List for
duration set in Ring Time.
○ Hunt: take turns ringing each available extension.
○ Memory Hunt: ring first extension in the list, then ring the 1st
and 2nd extension, then ring 1st 2nd and 3rd extension in the
list.... Etc.
○ *-prim: these modes act as described above. However, if the
primary extension (first in list) is occupied, the other extensions
will not be rung. If the primary is FreePBX DND, it won't be
rung. If the primary is FreePBX CF unconditional, then all will
be rung.
○ Firstavailable: ring only the first available channel.
○ Firstnotonphone: ring only the first channel which is not off
hook - ignore CW
● Ring Time - Time in seconds that the phones will ring. For all hunt style ring
strategies, this is the time for each iteration of phone(s) that are rung
● Follow-Me List - List extensions to ring, one per line, or use the Extension
Quick Pick below. You can include an extension on a remote system, or an
external number by suffixing a number with a pound (#). ex: 7804506787#
● Extension Quick Pick - Choose an extension to append to the end of the
extension list above.
● Announcement: Message to be played to the caller before dialing this group.
(See System Recordings)
● Play Music On Hold? - If you select a Music on Hold class to play, instead of
'Ring', they will hear that instead of Ringing while they are waiting for
someone to pick up.
● CID Name Prefix - You can optionally prefix the Caller ID name when ringing
extensions in this group. ie: If you prefix with "Sales:", a call from John Doe
would display as "Sales:John Doe" on the extensions that ring.
● Confirm Calls - Enable this if you're calling external numbers that need
confirmation - eg, a mobile phone may go to voicemail which will pick up the
call. Enabling this requires the remote side push 1 on their phone before the
call is put through. This feature only works with the ringall/ringall-prim ring
strategy
● Remote Announce - Message to be played to the person RECEIVING the
call, if 'Confirm Calls' is enabled. See System Recordings.
● Too-Late Announce - Message to be played to the person RECEIVING the
call, if the call has already been accepted before they push 1. See System
Recordings.
● Destination if No Answer - Where the call is directed if no extension in this
Follow Me is answered. Leaving this at default (Normal Extension Behavior)
lets the main extension dictate the destination.
