API : PBX : Group Update

Introduction

A group contains a list of group members (extensions), and a list of controlling members (extensions). A group can be used for 2 purposes.

1. Simple call distribution

The group can be called, which in turn will call the groups members according to the chosen call distribution strategy.

2. Pickup, steal, spy

The controlling members can be permitted to:

Pickup a ringing phone from any group member, specifically or on the group.
Steal an ongoing call from any group member.
Listen in on an ongoing call by any group member (for coaching or monitoring purposes).

This can be done via API, star codes on phones or through programmable softkeys.

3. SetPresence, queueMember, viewOtherParty, sms

Set presence for any group member.
Add/remove any member to any group.
See who any member is on a call with (number/name).
Send group SMS to group members.

This is for use via Communicator apps.

Request

This request will update a group.

The whole object or as little as a single property can be set during an update, thus making all properties optional.
