Gentlemen and Ladies,

We have a new client that has 2640+ extensions. I have set up the extension import CSV to use to import the extensions with which is great! However, around 2600 of them are being forwarded to cell phones outside of the office and I have set them up as away status. I could not figure out how to set up to forward to mobile using the import spreadsheet. Is this even possible to set up using the import? I am not looking forward to manually editing 2600+ extensions to basically check a radio button to forward all calls to mobile.

Thank you.
 
Thats a lot of extensions. I do not know of a way to do that, and if you select multiple extensions inside of 3cx to edit at the same time the forwarding options are not available.

I would pull my hair out if I had to modify that many extensions manually. Not sure if voip toys maybe has something that would handle this. Please update us if you find a way.
 
I emailed voip toys and their extension import tool does not currently support that but they said its on the list for future versions.
 
Appreciate the reply. That is what I was afraid of. I'm going to poke around in the database. Maybe I can right a procedure to update the records directly.

Thanks again.
 
Guess your in luck.
