Toggles (Two-way and Multiway)

Toggles (Two-way and Multiway)

What Are Toggles?

Toggles allow users to switch between one of several preset call flow destinations with a single action, like flipping a virtual switch.
  1. Two-Way Toggles allow calls to route to one of two destinations, depending on whether the toggle is in an enabled or disabled state.
  2. Multiway Toggles expand this functionality, allowing calls to route to multiple destinations, depending on which option is currently selected.

Toggles are commonly used for scenarios like:
  1. Switching between "Day Mode" and "Night Mode"
  2. Routing calls to different teams based on schedule or priority
  3. Enabling alternate routing during emergencies or staff meetings
