Adding Short Codes to Change the Variable Value

Last Updated : Dec 23, 2021 |
Having created two modules to change the value of the Reception variable between open and closed (see Creating Modules to Alter the Variables Value), we need short codes to trigger either action.
Prolog information
  1. In IP Office Manager, add the following short code:
    1. In Code, enter *91.
    2. In Feature enter Voicemail Collect.
    3. In Telephone Number enter ReceptionOpen.
    4. In Line Group ID enter 0.
  2. Repeat the process, this time creating a *92 short code set to ReceptionClosed.
  3. Merge the new short codes with the telephone system.
Next steps
  • We now have modules to set the current value of a variable and short codes to trigger those modules. We can now alter our auto-attendant to use the variable value. Go to Using the Variable in the Call Flow.
