Greetings to all. I am currently implementing call queues for a customer and have come across several "problems".
The customer is an airline representative, and will be using call queues for different airline reservations. The customer requires that any agent be able to login to any number of queues. This means that queue members have to be dynamic, not using "member => agent/101" for example. I am not sure of the best way to accomplish this. I initially just setup agentcallback, and hard coded the agents in each queue, but this means that when an agent logs in he/she will be in all queues where member => agent/xxx. My next thought was to use a combination of agentcallback and addQueueMember to add SIP extensions to particular queues. I currently have a mechanism by which the user can dial a number, enter the two letter airline code, mysql translates this airline code into a real queue name, and the user is then added to this queue. Of course the two letter airline code could be used for the queue name to avoid the mysql lookup, something like queue-xx. Along these lines, does anyone know if it is possible to use AddQueueMember with Agent/xxx, or just with real extensions? The main problem with this is that there would be no way to globally logoff agents (if real extensions had to be used) from all the queues they are logged in to. My current idea is to use agentcallback in combination with a php/mysl interface. This of course would require realtime queue configuration. The user would use agentcallback to login, and the web interface to choose the queues he/she wanted to join. The customer also wants a way of seeing which queues the agents are logged into. This could also be run from mysql backend. I would also like to some how integrate this into the Cisco 7940 xml capabilities. Would love to hear form anyone regarding these issues.
