Monitor Call

The Monitor Call scenario block allows in-progress calls of a service or agent to be monitored by an authorized user.

Info.40x40.png
  • Contact your service provider to enable access to remote call monitoring and the Monitor Call scenario block.
  • If your service provider has not enabled remote call monitoring, this block is not displayed in the Scenario Engine palette, and any scenarios that already have this block will cause an exception when attempting to execute this block.


The Monitor Call block can be used in a scenario as follows:

  • The user who will monitor calls is prompted to enter an extension, PIN, and select a service or agent to be monitored.
  • The extension, PIN, and choice of agent or service are passed to the Monitor Call block.
  • The Monitor Call block checks that the PIN is associated with the extension, and belong to a user with the Remote call monitoring privilege enabled. If any of these conditions are not met, it conditionally exits to Access Denied.
  • The monitoring user is connected by the Monitor Call block to listen to a randomly selected in-progress call from the indicated service or agent. If no call is in progress, it conditionally exits to No active calls.
  • Call monitoring is active until the call is ended by one of the original parties, or the escape button is pressed by the call monitor.

The Remote Call Monitoring FAQ offers additional guidance on how to use the Monitor Call block.
