<Enqueue>

The <Enqueue> verb places a call in a specified call queue. If the specified queue does not exist, a new queue will be created and the call will be placed into that new queue. Calls can be dequeued through the <Dial> verb or removed from the queue through the <Leave> verb.

Verb Attributes

Attribute
action optional	The action attribute takes an absolute URL. When a call leaves the queue, a request to this URL is made. If a call is dequeued through the <Leave> verb, the URL is immediately requested. If the call has been bridged to another party via the <Dial> verb, then the HTTP request is made only after both parties have disconnected. If action is not provided, SignalWire will continue reading the next verb in the document. See below for specified request parameters.
method optional	Specifies whether the redirect is a GET or a POST. Default value is POST.
waitUrl optional	URL of the document to execute while the caller is in the queue. Default points to a playlist with classical music. waitUrl supports the following verbs: <Play>, <Say>, <Pause>, <Hangup>, <Redirect>, <Leave>, and <Gather>. See below for specified request parameters.
waitUrlMethod optional	Specifies whether the request to waitUrl is a GET or a POST. The default value is POST.

Request parameters for the action URL

The action request contains the Standard Request Parameters as well as:

Parameter
QueueResult string	The result of the queued call. See below for all possible values.
QueueSid string	The unique ID of the queue. Only available if a call is successfully placed into a queue.
QueueTime string	The time a call was waiting in a queue. Only available if a call is successfully placed into a queue.

The parameter QueueResult has the following values:

Value
bridged	The call was bridged and removed from the queue.
bridging-in-progress	SignalWire is instructed to bridge the call.
error	An error occurred either through the <Enqueue> verb or through the document retrieved from the waitUrl.
hangup	The caller hung up while still in the queue.
leave	The caller left the queue through the <Leave> verb.
redirected	The call was redirected out of the queue, through a REST API request, while the caller was in the queue.
redirected-from-bridged	The queued and bridged session was transferred out.

Examples

A Simple Enqueue

XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Response>
    <Enqueue waitUrl="https://example.com/hold-music.xml">support</Enqueue>
</Response>

JavaScript

const { RestClient } = require("@signalwire/compatibility-api");
const response = new RestClient.LaML.VoiceResponse();

response.enqueue({ waitUrl: "https://example.com/hold-music.xml" }, "support");
console.log(response.toString());

PHP

<?php
  use SignalWire\LaML;
  $response = new LaML;

  $response->enqueue('support', array( 'waitUrl' => 'https://example.com/hold-music.xml' ));
  echo $response;
?>

C#

using Twilio.TwiML;
using System;


class Example
{
    static void Main()
    {
        var response = new VoiceResponse();
        response.Enqueue("support", waitUrl: new Uri("https://example.com/hold-music.xml"));

        Console.WriteLine(response.ToString());;
    }
}

Python

from signalwire.voice_response import VoiceResponse, Enqueue

response = VoiceResponse()
response.enqueue('support', wait_url='https://example.com/hold-music.xml')

print(response)

Ruby

require 'signalwire/sdk'

response = Signalwire::Sdk::VoiceResponse.new do |response|
  response.enqueue(name: 'support', wait_url: 'https://example.com/hold-music.xml')
end

puts response.to_s

While a caller is in the queue, SignalWire retrieves the XML document 'hold-music.xml' and executes it.

Playing Wait Music

XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Response>
    <Play>http://your-application.com/classical.mp3</Play>
</Response>

JavaScript

const { RestClient } = require("@signalwire/compatibility-api");
const response = new RestClient.LaML.VoiceResponse();

response.play("http://your-application.com/classical.mp3");
console.log(response.toString());

PHP

<?php
  use SignalWire\LaML;
  $response = new LaML;

  $response->play('http://your-application.com/classical.mp3');
  echo $response;
?>

C#

using Twilio.TwiML;
using System;


class Example
{
    static void Main()
    {
        var response = new VoiceResponse();
        response.Play(new Uri("http://your-application.com/classical.mp3"));

        Console.WriteLine(response.ToString());;
    }
}

Python

from signalwire.voice_response import VoiceResponse, Play

response = VoiceResponse()
response.play('http://your-application.com/classical.mp3')

print(response)

Ruby

require 'signalwire/sdk'

response = Signalwire::Sdk::VoiceResponse.new do |response|
  response.play(url: 'http://your-application.com/classical.mp3')
end

puts response.to_s

While callers in a queue are waiting, classical music is played.
