use dispatch rule prefix for rooms (inbound) use agent names for outbound

To use a dispatch rule with a prefix for rooms in inbound calls, you can create a dispatch rule with the

dispatchRuleIndividual

type. This rule creates a new room for each caller, and you can specify a prefix for the room name using the

roomPrefix

option. Here's an example configuration:

{
  "trunk_ids": [
    "<your-trunk-id>"
  ],
  "rule": {
    "dispatchRuleIndividual": {
      "roomPrefix": "call-"
    }
  }
}

For outbound calls using agent names, you can use the

AgentDispatchClient

to explicitly dispatch an agent to a room. Set the

agent_name

in the

WorkerOptions

to enable explicit dispatch. Here's a basic example:

from livekit import api

room_name = "my-room"
agent_name = "test-agent"

async def create_explicit_dispatch():
    lkapi = api.LiveKitAPI()
    dispatch = await lkapi.agent_dispatch.create_dispatch(
        api.CreateAgentDispatchRequest(agent_name=agent_name, room=room_name)
    )
    print("created dispatch", dispatch)
