Working with extensions
With extensions, you can forward calls from a specific scenario or your Workspace directly to an agent, group, queue, or remote extension.
This section is only available if the contact center functionality is enabled in your account.

Generating extensions
- Log in to your Voximplant Kit account.
- Select Setup > Contact center > Extensions.
- Click Generate.
- Select how the system should assign extensions. The available options are:
For all empty
For empty queues
For empty groups
For empty users
For empty remote extensions
- In the Generate extensions window, select the Number of digits to use for the extension.
The number of digits should be equal to the number of extension code instances.
- In the Interval to generation code field, set the minimum and maximum limits for the extension generation.
The code generation interval should be equal to or greater than the number of instances.
- Click Generate.
When you select to generate extensions for all empty entities, the system assigns extension numbers in ascending order - first to users, then to groups and queues, and finally to remote extensions.
- Extensions you generate are active by default, but you can deactivate them. Select the required extension and click Edit extension.
- Disable the Active extension switch.
Inactive extensions remain assigned to the given queue, group, user, or remote extension, and you cannot re-assign them. The system does not display them on the interface except for the extension table.
- You can also edit the extension number if required.
- Once you finish, save your changes.
