Auto Conference

This Telephony tool creates a named conference using the specified call identifier. Further calls can be added to the same conference by calling this tool again with other call identifiers and specifying the same conference name. If a conference with the specified name does not exist, one is automatically created.

Inputs

Conference Name

A unique name for the conference -- in this instance, the conference name for the conference to which you want to add the Call Identifier.

Note: A value is required for this input.

Conference PIN

The PIN or password the participant intends to use when entering the conference.

Call Identifier

The unique identifier (only one) to be added to the named conference.
conference.

Auto Disconnect

Set this option as follows:

• To automatically disconnect a call when it is the last one remaining in a conference, set this option to Yes.

• To maintain a connection for the last call in a conference, set this option to No.

• To allow the server parameter to determine which action to take, set this option to Default.

Exit Paths (Conference)

Success

This step takes the Success exit path if both the Call Identifier and the Conference Name are valid.

Failure

This tool can take the Failure exit path for several reasons. Failure can occur if the call disconnects, if the call is picked up by a user (and is no longer under the control of the handler), the call ID is no longer valid (if the call is deallocated), or there is a system resource limitation.
