I have a queue I configured as "strict" and a cron script I use to QueueAdd and QueueRemove agents according to my company's requirements. Usually I have 2 or 3 agents at a time and the ring strategy is ringall.
These agents use non-open-source Windows softphones that do not let you configure it so that if they're on the phone, a second call will be rejected (agent busy). Instead, it's as if they had call waiting and incoming calls keep popping up while they're conversating with the first caller and they would like to avoid this. I guess the easiest solution would be to find an open-source or free softphone that can be configured to accept only one call at a time (currently using SJphone). Another solution would be if I could tell the Queue() application that if an agent is InUse then don't pass the call. Still another yet more delicate solution would be to have a custom script "receive" manager events related to the queue which in turn replies with an agi command. For example, whenever an agent answers a call I think that an event such as QueueMemberStatus can be triggered (although I don't know how). If the custom script could receive this event in realtime then it would run an agi command such as QueueRemove(busyagent...). When the agent is free again I suppose the same event is triggered and the custom script can QueueAdd(freeagent...). Could anyone please give me some pointers on this? Thanks!
