Remarks

Note

This element is introduced in Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 R2 release. This element can take "person", "huntgroup", "autoattendant", and "automaton" as the possible values to specify the type of a presentity. This element should be between the delimiter and end tags so that the XML is backwards compatible.

The following are definitions for the types of presentities.

• person
  A human end user.

• huntgroup
  A “bot” that does not ever directly interact with the caller. It passes calls through to a person immediately. This is largely equivalent to Office Communicator’s team call.

• autoattendant
  A “bot” that connects the user to another person after first interacting with the user directly.

• automaton
  A “bot” that can interact with the user directly. This bot does not necessarily ever connect the caller to another person.
