Follow Me

Follow Me

The FollowMe operation determines if the dialed Service Number has a “Follow Me Destination” currently provisioned. If so, the processing will attempt to terminate the call to that destination address, otherwise the “Non Provisioned” exit will be used.

Note:

The FollowMe operation has exactly two exits.

Config Parameters

The FollowMe operation config attributes are as follows.

Parameter Type Description
timeout_seconds Integer The number of seconds for which the Follow Me Destination should be rung before deciding that the call is unanswered and proceeding to the Busy/NoAnswer exit. If there is no processing attached to the Busy/NoAnswer exit, then this timeout value will not be used. If present, this value must be greater than or equal to zero. If absent or if zero, then a system-configured default timeout will be used.

Example Operation

Here is an example FollowMe operation in JSON representation.

    {
        "id": 5,
        "type": "FollowMe",
        "base_node": 31,
        "config": {
            "timeout_seconds": 0
        },
        "exits": [ 7, 6 ]
    }

In this example:

Exits

The exits for this node are fixed.

Exit Index Name Description
0 Busy/NoAnswer [Required] This entry is followed if the Follow Me Destination is configured, but an attempted termination gives a Busy/NoAnswer response.
1 Not Provisioned [Required] This entry is followed if there is no Follow-Me Destination provisioned.
