# Using a BLF key to monitor and pause/unpause from a queue

This example is written for the **Canistracci OIL** tenant. Create the objects with a **Docs Demo** prefix, test them on non-production numbers, and then adapt the same structure for the production tenant.

It can be nice to have a BLF key on your phone keypad showing your Queue Agent status (Paused or Available, but also Logged in the queue or not). Let's examine the Pause/Unpaused.

You need to start creating a Flow/Variable to Toggle your pause status for a queue.

Please note the special number assigned to the Flow/Variable to toggle it.

In the Monitoring section, specify what you like to monitor

In the phone, you need to start monitoring an extension matching the 7000\[EXT\] you have defined (obviously you can choose whichever number), so for example, if your extension is 104 and your tenant code DEVEL, you should monitor 7000104-DEVEL.

Pressing the BLF key will toggle your pause status and the BLF key will show you the current status.
