Create a Hunt Group
Create new Hunt Groups for the given location.
Hunt groups can route incoming calls to a group of people, workspaces or virtual lines. You can even configure a pattern to route to a whole group.
Creating a hunt group requires a full administrator or location administrator auth token with a scope of spark-admin:telephony_config_write.
URI Parameters
Create the hunt group for the given location.
Query Parameters
Create the hunt group for this organization.
Body Parameters
Unique name for the hunt group.
Primary phone number of the hunt group. Either phone number or extension are required.
Primary phone extension of the hunt group. Either phone number or extension are required.
Language code.
First name to be shown when calls are forwarded out of this hunt group. Defaults to ..
Last name to be shown when calls are forwarded out of this hunt group. Defaults to the phone number if set, otherwise defaults to call group name.
Time zone for the hunt group.
Policy controlling how calls are routed to agents.
Call routing policy used to dispatch calls to agents.
This option cycles through all agents after the last agent that took a call. It sends calls to the next available agent. This is supported for SKILL_BASED.
Send the call through the queue of agents in order, starting from the top each time. This is supported for SKILL_BASED.
Sends calls to all agents at once
Sends calls to the agent that has been idle the longest. If they don't answer, proceed to the next agent who has been idle the second longest, and so on until the call is answered. This is supported for SKILL_BASED.
Sends calls to idle agents based on percentages you assign to each agent (up to 100%).
If false, then the option is treated as "Advance when busy". The hunt group won't ring agents when they're on a call and advances to the next agent. If a hunt group agent has call waiting enabled and the call is advanced to them, the call waits until that hunt group agent isn't busy.
If true, the hunt group busy status will be set to busy. All new calls will get busy treatment. If busyRedirect is enabled, the calls are routed to the destination specified in busyRedirect.
If true, agents can change the hunt group busy status.
Settings for when the call into the hunt group is not answered.
If enabled, advance to next agent after the nextAgentRings has occurred.
Number of rings before call will be forwarded if unanswered and nextAgentEnabled is true.
If true, forwards unanswered calls to the destination after the number of rings occurs.
Number of rings before forwarding calls if forwardEnabled is true.
Destination if forwardEnabled is True.
If forwardEnabled is true, enables and disables sending incoming to destination number's voicemail if the destination is an internal phone number and that number has the voicemail service enabled. If destinationVoicemailEnabled is enabled, then *55 is added as a prefix for destination.
Settings for sending calls to a specified destination when all agents are busy or when the hunt group busy status is set to busy.
If true, calls are diverted to a defined phone number when all agents are busy, or when the hunt group busy status is set to busy.
Destination for busy redirect.
The enabled or disabled state of sending diverted incoming calls to the destination number's voicemail if the destination is an internal phone number and that number has the voicemail service enabled. If destinationVoicemailEnabled is enabled, then *55 is added as a prefix for destination.
Settings for sending calls to a specified destination if the phone is not connected to the network for any reason, such as a power outage, failed internet connection, or wiring problem.
If true, unreachable, unanswered calls are diverted to a defined phone number. For persons with only a mobile device, calls won't be diverted if there is a network outage.
Destination for business continuity redirect.
The enabled or disabled state of sending diverted incoming calls to the destination number's voicemail if the destination is an internal phone number and that number has the voicemail service enabled. If destinationVoicemailEnabled is enabled, then *55 is added as a prefix for destination.
People, workspaces and virtual lines that are eligible to receive calls.
ID of person, workspace or virtual line.
Weight of person, workspace or virtual line. Only applied when call policy is WEIGHTED.
Whether or not the hunt group is enabled.
Enable the hunt group to be used as the caller ID when the agent places outgoing calls. When set to true the hunt group's caller ID will be used.
