Todays script was created as a result of unending fire drills 🙂

What happens to my Response Group Calls when we have to suddenly evacuate the building?

Since the environments I come across most refers here to the DDI’s called to reach said Response Groups I have come up with the simplest solution. Basically I have a Emergency Workflow preconfigured complete with announcement and destination.

The Script offers the administrator the option to select Y or N to activate or de-activate Emergency Workflow respectively. If selecting Y, the Script then lifts the DDI from the normal Response Group Workflow and assigns it to the Emergency Workflow. Selecting N reverts the DDI to its original Workflow.

    .DESCRIPTION
        This script takes a DDI assigned to a RGS Workflow and re-assigns it to a Emergency Workflow - and vice versa depending on the 
        menu selection. You will need a pre-configured 
        Emergency RGS Queue, Group and Workflow. For simplicity you can configure the Emergency Queue to overflow to a destination with
        a Threshold of 0 (meaning that any calls will overflow immediatly.
        You then have the choice on the Emergency Queue to deliver the calls to another SIP address, a PSTN number (such as a cell phone)
        or to a UM enabled mailbox (Voicemail).
