When Clicking the Hold Call Button BackgroundCallCard::holdButtonClick

If you are developing integrations for Bitrix24 using AI tools (Codex, Claude Code, Cursor), connect to the MCP server so that the assistant can utilize the official REST documentation.

Scope: placement — registration of the placement, telephony — registration of the call that raises the card

Who can subscribe: any user

The BackgroundCallCard::holdButtonClick event occurs when the operator clicks the hold button.

The event operates within the application context in the PAGE_BACKGROUND_WORKER placement. This is a JS interface event, not a REST event: you cannot subscribe to it with a request to /rest/.

How to Use Examples in Documentation

BX24.ready(function () {
            BX24.init(function () {
                BX24.placement.bindEvent('BackgroundCallCard::holdButtonClick', function (eventData) {
                    console.log(eventData);
                });
            });
        });
        
// $b24 is an already-initialized SDK instance (see the SDK "Get started" guide)
        import type { B24Frame } from '@bitrix24/b24jssdk'
        
        declare const $b24: B24Frame
        
        await $b24.placement.bindEvent('BackgroundCallCard::holdButtonClick', (eventData: boolean) => {
          console.log(eventData)
        })
        
<!-- Load the SDK (UMD build); it is exposed as the global B24Js -->
        <script src="https://unpkg.com/@bitrix24/b24jssdk@1/dist/umd/index.min.js"></script>
        <script>
          document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', async () => {
            const $b24 = await B24Js.initializeB24Frame()
        
            await $b24.placement.bindEvent('BackgroundCallCard::holdButtonClick', (eventData) => {
              console.log(eventData)
            })
          })
        </script>
        

Errors

Check the following conditions.

  • The widget is open in the PAGE_BACKGROUND_WORKER placement. In other placements, the BackgroundCallCard::* events are not registered, and the subscription silently fails
  • The event name is passed without typos and with the correct capitalization. The list of events available in the current placement is returned by BX24.placement.getInterface
  • The call was raised by the application with the telephony.externalCall.register method. For calls made by Bitrix24 itself, the BackgroundCallCard::* events are not emitted at all
