What we do is create an Asterisk database entry: Pickup/NUMBER/GROUP Where NUMBER is the extension, and Group is the Pickup Group. We then set pickup mark variable in the macro that dials the extension. Then if someone dials *79 (or whatever) it picks up the group that the person dialling *79 is in. I.E. * Call goes to Jon (who is in group 3) * He is away from his desk * Jane dials *79 (also in group 3) and picks up the call If Fred (in group 5) were to dial *79 he would not pick up the call.
