The `<Leave>` verb transfers a call out of the queue containing that call. It then returns the flow of execution to verb following the `<Enqueue>` that placed this call into the queue.

## Verb attributes

The `<Leave>` verb does not support any attributes.

## Examples

### Leaving a closed queue

<CodeBlocks>
  ```xml
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <Response>
      <Enqueue waitUrl="https://example.com/wait.xml">support</Enqueue>
      <Say>Customer support is now closed. Please call back on the next business day. Thank you.</Say>
  </Response>
  ```

  ```javascript title="Node.js"
  const { RestClient } = require("@signalwire/compatibility-api");
  const response = new RestClient.LaML.VoiceResponse();

  response.enqueue({ waitUrl: "https://example.com/hold-music.xml" }, "support");
  response.say(
    "Customer support is now closed. Please call back on the next business day. Thank you."
  );
  console.log(response.toString());
  ```

  ```csharp
  using Twilio.TwiML;
  using System;


  class Example
  {
      static void Main()
      {
          var response = new VoiceResponse();
          response.Enqueue("support", waitUrl: new Uri("https://example.com/wait.xml"));
          response.Say("Customer support is now closed. Please call back on the next business day. Thank you.");

          Console.WriteLine(response.ToString());;
      }
  }
  ```

  ```python
  from signalwire.voice_response import VoiceResponse, Enqueue, Say

  response = VoiceResponse()
  response.enqueue('support', wait_url='https://example.com/wait.xml')
  response.say('Customer support is now closed. Please call back on the next business day. Thank you.')

  print(response)
  ```

  ```ruby
  require 'signalwire/sdk'

  response = Signalwire::Sdk::VoiceResponse.new do |response|
    response.enqueue(name: 'support', wait_url: 'https://example.com/wait.xml')
    response.say(message: 'Customer support is now closed. Please call back on the next business day. Thank you.')
  end

  puts response.to_s
  ```
</CodeBlocks>

Callers who are waiting in the queue for customer support will automatically be directed out of the queue after closing hours. SignalWire will notify these callers that they have left the queue and will have to try calling back another day.

### Playing audio

<CodeBlocks>
  ```xml
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <Response>
       <Play>http://your-application.com/music.mp3</Play>
  </Response>
  ```

  ```javascript title="Node.js"
  const { RestClient } = require("@signalwire/compatibility-api");
  const response = new RestClient.LaML.VoiceResponse();

  response.play("http://your-application.com/music.mp3");
  console.log(response.toString());
  ```

  ```csharp
  using Twilio.TwiML;
  using System;

  class Example
  {
      static void Main()
      {
          var response = new VoiceResponse();
          response.Play(new Uri("http://your-application.com/music.mp3"));

          Console.WriteLine(response.ToString());;
      }
  }
  ```

  ```python
  from signalwire.voice_response import VoiceResponse, Play

  response = VoiceResponse()
  response.play('http://your-application.com/music.mp3')

  print(response)
  ```

  ```ruby
  require 'signalwire/sdk'

  response = Signalwire::Sdk::VoiceResponse.new do |response|
    response.play(url: 'http://your-application.com/music.mp3')
  end

  puts response.to_s
  ```
</CodeBlocks>

SignalWire will play hold music for the callers in the queue until customer support hours are over.

### Leave a call

<CodeBlocks>
  ```xml
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <Response>
       <Leave />
  </Response>
  ```

  ```javascript title="Node.js"
  const { RestClient } = require("@signalwire/compatibility-api");
  const response = new RestClient.LaML.VoiceResponse();

  response.leave();
  console.log(response.toString());
  ```

  ```csharp
  using Twilio.TwiML;
  using System;


  class Example
  {
      static void Main()
      {
          var response = new VoiceResponse();
          response.Leave();

          Console.WriteLine(response.ToString());;
      }
  }
  ```

  ```python
  from signalwire.voice_response import VoiceResponse, Leave

  response = VoiceResponse()
  response.leave()

  print(response)
  ```

  ```ruby
  require 'signalwire/sdk'

  response = Signalwire::Sdk::VoiceResponse.new do |response|
    response.leave
  end

  puts response.to_s
  ```
</CodeBlocks>

wait.xml will dequeue the callers after closing hours and prompt the `<Say>` statement in the first example.
