Add an Emergency Group variable

Prerequisites
  • Telephony > Plugin > All permission

An emergency group that you associate with a call flow quickly and efficiently modifies call routing behavior during unplanned or semi-planned critical events, such as fire, natural disasters, and power outages. For more information, see Emergencies.

    Notes:
    • Search behavior is not case-sensitive.
    • The emergency group string name must be a minimum of one character and maximum of 256 characters.
    • The dynamic lookup limit for a unique type is 25.
    • Each lookup is unique, so multiple lookups for the same object in the flow only count as 1.
    • The total lookup limit per flow is 100.
    • If the supplied emergency group value is NOT_SET, then the flow takes the not found path.
