Attributes

At this <enqueue> does not have any attribute. We will be adding optional attributes where you can play a custom music and repeated announcement while the caller is waiting in the queue. didML must receive a alphanumeric queue name with no spaces. You can create as many queues as you want.

Here is an example of how <enqueue> is used within code.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<Response>
         <enqueue>supportTeam</Say>
 </Response>

The above example will dynamically create a queue names supportTeam. To pick the call from this queue, you must use the same queue name.

While You can create as many queues as you want, it is important to remember the queue name and a mechanism to pick the calls waiting in the queue.
