# Extension Switch usage

Extension switches allow convenient control of call actions via the PASCOM App.

## Overview

Extension switches are a valuable tool that can be used to control the behaviour of the PASCOM cloud phone system. With a simple on/off switch you can e.g. switch announcements, set call forwarding or activate a completely different call flow. The application possibilities are endless.

## Requirements

In order to use the extension switch as an interactive element in your contact list, the corresponding roles must be defined that give you the correct permissions to use the extension switch. If you cannot find an extension switch in your contact list, contact your system administrator or IT administrator.

## Extension Switch usage

In your contact list you will find the extension switch for e.g. Prompt AfterHours.

3. Automatically generate an avatar image or alternatively upload a custom avatar image for the extension switch.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.pascom.net/en/user/pascom-app-userguide/extension-switch.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `build a script that syncs our docs to a CMS` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
