Visual Call Park

Call Park is a standard feature in most PBXs. It allows users to put a call on hold from one extension and retrieve it from another extension with permission to do so. With the Ringotel Visual Call Park feature, you can streamline the process of parking and retrieving calls (from your PBX) for users without the need for them to remember and dial the feature shortcodes. Users can park a call into designated parking slots configured in your PBX and Ringotel settings by simply pressing the buttons on their softphone app. Please refer to your PBX documentation/configuration to find out which parking slots are configured.

In the Ringotel Shell portal, you can configure the Visual Call Park feature for each connection. It allows you to set up different parking slots for different groups of users. For example, one organization(department) can use slots from 1 to 5, and the other one can use slots from 6 to 10, etc. Ringotel Call Park provides the following benefits out-of-the-box:

• Different parking slots for a different set of users;

• Automatic notification of users within an organization(connection) about the parked calls;

• Users can retrieve the parked calls from any device by simply pressing a button on the notification;

• Shows parking slot BLF status in real-time;

• Provides Caller ID after retrieving a parked call;
