tier_rule_wait_second | long | no | 0 | Time in seconds from the start of a call to the queue, after which the next level agents are called. If the parameter tier_rule_wait_multiply_levelis is set to true then the specified time is multiplied by the agent level in the queue.

Queue Strategies
At any strategy the agents with the lowest level are called first. If the agents of the current call level are busy or are in a state of temporary unavailability, for example, after no answer or rejection of the previous call (see the agent configuration), then agents of the next level are called. If the parameter tier_rules_apply value is true, the next-level agents start to be called after the time specified by the parameter tier_rule_wait_second, the report begins when the current level agents start calling. If the parameter tier_rule_wait_multiply_level value is true, then the time tier_rule_wait_second is multiplied by the agent level.
Description of the queue strategies
Strategy | Description |
|---|
ring-all | All available agents are called simultaneously. If the parameter tier_rules_apply is true, the agents with the lowest level are called first then after the time specified by the parameter tier_rule_wait_second, the next level agents are called and so on |
longest-idle-agent | The agent is called with the longest waiting time since the last call |
round-robin | Agents are called according to their position (the position parameter when adding the agent to the queue) |
top-down | Agents are called in the positions order starting from the first |
agent-with-least-talk-time | The agent with the least talk time is called |
agent-with-fewest-calls | The agent with the fewest calls is dialed |
sequentially-by-agent-order | Agents are called sequentially in such order of their levels and positions. The agent with the lowest level and position is always called first. |
random | Agents are called in a random order |
Queue Agents
The queue agents can be of two types: local, when the agent is an extension number of the telephone terminal type, and remote, when the specified external number is the queue agent. Both types of agents have the following configurable parameters:
Parameters of the queue agents
Parameter | Type | Mandatory | Default value | Description |
|---|
busy_delay_time | long | no | 0 | If the agent was busy at a call attempt then no calls will be sent to it, during the time specified in this parameter in seconds |
call_timeout | long | no | 0 | Time in seconds during which the agent is called |
extra_params | string | no | | Additional parameters |
name | string | no | | Queue agent name |
no_answer_delay_time | long | no | 0 | If the agent did not answer the call, no calls will be sent to it during the time in seconds specified in this parameter |
number | string | no | | Queue agent number |
reject_delay_time | long | no | 0 | Time in seconds since the agent's last rejection of the call, during which no calls will be sent to it |
status | object | no | | The agent status. Accepts one of the values: "logged_out", "available". In the status available the agent is available for calls, in the status logged_outno calls to the agent are not sent |
wrap_up_time | long | no | 0 | Time in seconds since the last conversation of the agent during which no calls will be sent to it |
agent_sound_id | long | no | 0 | Звук, проигрываемый вызывающему абоненту и агенту очереди при ответе этим агентом The sound played to the caller and the queue agent when answered by that agent |
Queue agent management
In order for an agent to receive calls from a queue, the agent must be added there. Adding the agent to the queue, removing it from there, as well as changing its level and position in the queue are carried out through the resources "local agent in the queue"and "external agent in the queue" for local and external agents, respectively.
When adding a local agent to the queue, the following parameters can be configured:
Parameter | Type | Mandatory | Default value | Description |
|---|
agent_id | long | yes | 0 | Identifier of the local agent |
level | long | no | 0 | Agent level in queue |
position | long | no | 0 | Agent position in the queue |
When adding an external agent to the queue, the following parameters can be configured:
Parameter | Type | Mandatory | Default value | Description |
|---|
agent_id | long | yes | 0 | Identifier of the external agent |
level | long | no | 0 | Agent level in queue |
position | long | no | 0 | Agent position in the queue |
The value of the counter of callers in the queue (generated based on dial-in and hangup events) can be obtained using the resource
GET /extension/{extension_id}/queue/status/
This resource returns the responses in the form:
{
"answered_members": 0,
"trying_members": 0,
"waiting_members": 0
}
where the parameter trying_members is the number of callers and waiting the queue agents' response. Because the number of requests is limited, it is recommended to request the number of callers in the queue exactly by the queue events. Is possible to add events answer of the extension numbers themselves (the queue agents).
Examples
As an example, let's create an internal number of the "queue" type, configure it, create local and external agents and add them to the queue.
1. Using the "resource Extension number", create an internal number of the "queue" type:
System response:
{
"status": "active",
"domain": "sip.ringme.ru",
"create_date": "2020-03-16 12:11:13",
"name": "000*370",
"dial_rule_limit": null,
"extension_group_id": null,
"label": "test queue",
"caller_id_name": null,
"client_id": 12,
"extra_params": null,
"message_did": null,
"dial_rule_id": null,
"ani_rfc3325": false,
"type": "queue",
"id": 208,
"did_as_transfer_caller_id": null
}
2. Set up the queue as follows:
The main sound of the queue should be the sound with the ID 36;
The sound of the announcement is the sound with the identifier 35;
The announcement should be played every 15 seconds;
The maximum waiting time in the queue is 1800 seconds;
If the maximum waiting time has been exceeded forward the caller to the number 333;
Calling strategy of the queue agents - "Call everyone";
Recording of conversations in the queue is enabled;
Higher-level agents should start to be dialed if the lower-level agents do not respond within 15 seconds.
System response:
{
"announce_sound": 35,
"start_sound": "null",
"agent_hangup_transfer_dst": null,
"append_to_cid_name_on_transfer": null,
"agent_announce_sound": null,
"position_announce_frequency": 30,
"agent_hangup_action": null,
"tier_rule_wait_multiply_level": false,
"vm_mailto": null,
"no_agent_timeout_transfer_dst": "0005*103",
"agent_report_wait_time": false,
"vm_enabled": false,
"quality_rate_sound": null,
"strategy": "ring-all",
"try_same_agent_time": 259200,
"record_enabled": true,
"vm_attach_file": true,
"skip_busy_agents": true,
"sound_type": "music",
"tier_rules_apply": true,
"vm_greeting": null,
"quality_rate_finish_sound": null,
"announce_frequency": 15,
"exit_transfer_dst": null,
"tier_rule_wait_second": 5,
"sound": 36,
"exit_with_no_av_agents": true,
"quality_rate_max": null,
"timeout_transfer_dst": "333",
"max_wait_time": 1800,
"exit_key": null,
"max_wait_time_with_no_agent": null
}
3. Create a local queue agent:
System response:
{
"status": "available",
"name": null,
"busy_delay_time": 10,
"no_answer_delay_time": 10,
"call_timeout": 30,
"wrap_up_time": 0,
"extension_id": 117,
"reject_delay_time": 10,
"extra_params": null,
"id": 1
}
4. Create an external queue agent:
System response:
{
"busy_delay_time": 10,
"call_timeout": 30,
"extra_params": "string",
"id": 9,
"name": "string",
"no_answer_delay_time": 10,
"number": "89876543210",
"reject_delay_time": 10,
"status": "available",
"wrap_up_time": 0
}
5. Add the local agent to the queue with the first position and the first level:
System response:
{
"position": 1,
"agent_id": 1,
"level": 1
}
6. Add an external agent to the queue with the first position and the second level:
System response:
{
"position": 1,
"agent_id": 9,
"level": 2
}
