Follow Me

The FollowMe operation determines if the current service has a “Follow Me Destination” currently provisioned. If not, the “None Set” exit will be immediately followed. Otherwise termination to the destination address will be attempted.

If a termination attempt to the Follow Me Destination is answered or the caller abandons (i.e. hangs up), no further processing is performed and no exit is followed. Otherwise the exit associated with the termination attempt result will be selected.

Config Parameters

The FollowMe operation config attributes are as follows.

Parameter	Type	Description
`timeout_seconds`	Integer	The number of seconds that the termination attempt to the Follow Me Destination should allow for ringing before selecting the no-answer exit if the destination does not answer. If present, this value must be greater than or equal to zero. If absent, a system-configured default timeout will be used.

Example Operation

Here is an example FollowMe operation in JSON representation.

    {
        "id": 5,
        "type": "FollowMe",
        "config": {
            "timeout_seconds": 15
        },
        "exits": [ 7, 6 ]
    }

In this example:

If there is no Follow Me Destination configured for the service, processing will continue via exit index 1 to the operation with ID 6.
If the Follow Me Destination is not routable, busy, or does not answer, processing will continue via exit index 0 to the operation with ID 7.
If the caller abandons or the Follow Me Destination answers, processing is complete.

Exits

This operation may be configured with either 2 or 4 exits.

In the two-exit configuration:

Exit Index	Name	Description
`0`	Busy / No Answer / No Such Number	[Required] This exit is followed if the Follow Me Destination is configured for the service, but a termination attempt to the destination results in a Busy or No Such Number response, or the termination attempt is not answered. Also, the caller is still connected.
`1`	None Set	[Required] This exit is followed if there is no Follow Me Destination configured for the service, and the caller is still connected.

In the four-exit configuration:

Exit Index	Name	Description
`0`	Busy	[Required] This exit is followed if the Follow Me Destination is configured for the service, but an attempted termination to the Follow Me Destination results in a Busy response.
`1`	None Set	[Required] This exit is followed if there is no Follow Me Destination configured for the service, and the caller is still connected.
`2`	No Answer	[Required] This exit is followed if the Follow Me Destination is configured for the service, but an attempted termination to the Follow Me Destination is not answered.
`3`	No Such Number	[Required] This exit is followed if the Follow Me Destination is configured for the service, but an attempted termination to the Follow Me Destination results in a No Such Number response.
