Get Extension Presence Status

This topic provides an overview of the Get Extension Presence Status component, and describes its configuration, variables, as well as supported connections.

Component introduction

Get Extension Presence Status component allows you to query current presence status of a specific extension.

You can either select a specific extension directly, or configure an expression to dynamically specify the target extension. The query results are stored in variables, which can be used as input for subsequent components or for condition evaluation.

Component configuration

  1. After adding Internal Data Ops component to a message flow, click Internal Data Ops component to proceed with the configuration.

  2. In the pop-up right panel, complete the following settings.

    1. In the Component Type drop-down list, select Get Extension Presence Status.
    2. In the Extension field, specify the target extension using one of the following methods.
      • Select an extension from the drop-down list.
      • Click beside the drop-down list, enter an expression and click Save.
        Note:

        An expression may include variables, constants, and functions. You can enter FX to view and select system‑supported functions, and enter $ to view and select variables already stored in the current message flow.

        For more information about functions and variables, see Variables and Functions in Yeastar Expression.

    3. At the bottom-right corner, click Confirm.

      The configured information appears on the component.

    For more information about components that support to be connected, see Component connections.

Component variables

When a Get Extension Presence Status component is added to a message flow, the system stores the extension's statuses in variables. These variables can be referenced in expression-supported components (such as Condition) to retrieve the status values and respond accordingly based on the result.

Note: Since Get Extension Presence Status component can be added multiple times in a message flow, an index is appended to the unique ID of each component (e.g. Get Extension Presence Status 1, Get Extension Presence Status 2) based on the order in which the components are added. To retrieve data from the right component, the component variable must contain the corresponding index.
Variable Type Description Example Value
$GetExtensionStatus{index}.currentProfileName String

Name of the extension's current presence status.

Note: When using functions to evaluate an extension's presence status, ensure that the status constant matches one of the values defined in PBX Settings > Preferences > Presence.

"Available"
$GetExtensionStatus{index}.currentProfile String Name and additional information of the extension's current presence status. "Available,work"
$GetExtensionStatus{index}.isUnavailable Boolean Whether the extension is unregistered. False

Component connections

Get Extension Presence Status component can be connected to one component, which can be any of the components listed below.

Note: If a component is already connected to the component, and you need to insert a new one between them, hover over the line between them, click and select the target component. The selected one is inserted between them with connections auto-established on both ends, without the need to delete the connection, add the component and reconnect manually.

End components Transfer and Close are unavailable for this insertion method.
