A misc destination is used to add a custom call target that can be used by FreePBX modules. Anything that can be dialed from a user's extension can be turned into a misc destination. For example, by default, there is no way to send an inbound caller directly to the messaging center so that the caller could log in and check their voicemail messages. A misc destination could be set up to dial *98 and then an inbound route could point directly to that misc destination. A caller who was routed through that inbound route would immediately hear the prompts to log into their voicemail box, just as if they were a user on the PBX and had dialed *98.
To create a misc destination, click on the Misc Destinations link under the Internal Options & Configuration menu in the navigation menu on the left side of the FreePBX interface as shown in the following screenshot:
Misc destinations have two configuration options and one quick pick drop-down field:
