Call Management

This section covers the core operational flows for handling calls inside Uniconnect Edge: inbound, outbound, consult (new call during active session), transfers, conferencing and wrap‑up behavior.

Inbound Calls​

  1. Incoming notification displays caller name/number and rings via selected audio device.
  2. Agent clicks Answer (or auto‑answer activates if enabled).
  3. Active call view shows controls: Mute, Hold, Transfer, Merge, Keypad (DTMF), Notes.
  4. End call with End Call; if wrap-up workflow is configured a summary/disposition panel appears.

In-Call Actions​

  • Mute / Unmute microphone
  • Place on hold & resume
  • Blind or attended transfer
  • Start a conference (add or merge)
  • Open keypad for IVR / secure DTMF entry
  • Add internal notes (if CRM link enabled)

Outbound Calls​

  1. Open the Dial Pad or select from Recents / Contacts.
  2. Enter destination number or pick a contact.
  3. Click Call; status transitions Dialing → In Call when connected.
  4. Use standard in‑call controls; finish with End Call.

New Consult Call (Parallel Call)​

Used to speak with a third party before completing a transfer or forming a conference.

  1. While on an active call, open the dial pad again and place a second call (original call auto‑holds).
  2. Toggle between the two calls as needed.
  3. Either transfer the original caller, merge to conference, or end one leg independently.

Blind Transfer​

Directly redirect a live call without consultation.

  1. Click Transfer.
  2. Enter extension / number.
  3. Confirm transfer; agent disconnects immediately.

Attended (Consult) Transfer​

  1. During the active call, initiate a New Call to target recipient.
  2. Provide context; confirm availability.
  3. Complete the transfer (original and consulted leg connect, you disconnect) or merge all parties.

Conference Call​

Two methods:

  1. Add Participant: From active call choose conference/add, dial participant, auto‑merge on answer.
  2. Merge Two Calls: Have two active legs (one on hold), select Merge to form a multi‑party session.

Participant Awareness​

Future enhancement placeholder: display roles (active / on-hold / pending) (TODO).

Auto Answer​

Optional feature for rapid contact center workflows:

  • Enable in Settings → Call Settings.
  • Auto answers after a brief delay with audio routed to default device.

Multi-Account Handling​

If the agent profile has multiple accounts/tenants, a selector (planned) will allow switching context for outbound identification and logging (TODO details).
