Ongoing Call Handling / DTMF
Preconditions
These options rely on advanced workflows which are provided by our LUCS product. RTC Launcher does not provide detailed workflow handling by itself. With an appropriate Service Workflow configuration the DTMF should be send to LUCS to pass the corresponding workflow/survey activity.
When calling a service you might be required to follow automated workflow instructions and select options via DTMF on your dial. During an active call to a Service the Dial pad is shown on the Audio/Video control panel.
While interacting with the dial pad you still have the full chat functionality available.
