Put a call on hold in a numbered slot so anyone on the team can pick it up.

Call parking holds a call in a numbered slot so another person can pick it up from any phone. For example, reception parks a call and announces “call for Sam on 701”; Sam dials 701 to take it.

  1. Drag Call parking from the Handling mass incoming calls group onto the canvas and click the gear icon.
  2. Enter a Name, check the Internal number and set the Parking slot range.
  3. Choose who can see it in the Webphone.
  4. Click Save and Apply configuration.

Call parking settings

  • Park: transfer the call (blind or attended) to the call parking’s Internal number. The system puts it in a free slot.
  • Pick up: dial the slot number. In the Webphone, parked calls are shown on the Services page, where you can pick them up with one click.
