• f - Filename to play while recognition occurs (if empty or not specified, no file is played)

• t - The recognition timeout (in milliseconds). This is the total amount of time a caller has to speak.

• b - Barge-in value (no barge-in=0, ASR engine barge-in=1, Asterisk barge-in=2). LumenVox strongly recommends allowing the ASR to perform barge-in instead of Asterisk.

• gd – The grammar delimiter. Defaults to a comma.

• ct - The confidence threshold (0.0 - 1.0). If a recognition result has a confidence score below this value, it will be returned as "no match." Defaults to 0.5.

• sva - Speed vs. accuracy, set on a scale of 0.0 - 1.0. The higher this number, the faster (and less accurate) recognitions will be. Defaults to 0.5.

• nb - N-best list length. Defaults to 1; increase this value if you wish to get more answers back from the recognizer.

• nit - No input timeout. This is the amount of time the caller has to start speaking before the recognizer returns a no-input result.

• sct - Speech Complete Timeout. This is the amount of time, in milliseconds, LumenVox must detect silence after a user stops speaking before the recognizer begins processing the utterance. Set this lower for single word utterances and higher for longer utterances. In most cases, a value of 800 is correct.

• dit - DTMF interdigit timeout

RestAPI

Image Removed

Description

This box allows you to use Restful API to GET, POST, PUT, DELETE data from external applications or sources (for example: ticketing systems, CRM, order systems, and so on). The result of the API request (Body) can also be stored in a Variable.

Parameters

• Label: here you can type a brief description

• URL: request URL

• Method: HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT or DELETE)

• Timeout: request timeout (in seconds: it must be greater than 1 and the default value is 5)

• Computed Variables Script Path: absolute path of a NodeJS script able to compute variables to pass in the URL, Headers and Bod

• Headers: request headers (it must be in RAW JSON format, i.e. {"key": "value"})

• Body: request body (it must be in RAW JSON format, i.e. {"key": "value"})
  

• Variable: here you can choose a variable from a pick up list where you want to store the body of the response. The system will parse the body of the response and it will create a variable for each key-value pair using the format variable name + <key> (e.g. variablename.key, variablename.index.key or variablename.key[0].subkey if key is an array, and so on)

Custom script guidelines

You can valorize custom variables to use in you request using a nodejs script located on your server.

You can insert the absolute path to the script inside the Computed Variables Script Path input.

Remember to follow these important rules:

• insert the absolute path to the file

• write the path without quotes

• the motion user must have both read and write and execution privileges on the js file (or it won't work at all once it is required).

• The js script must be written in javascript ECMA5, and follow the NodeJs 6.x framework syntax based on this template:

module.exports = function({options_object}){

// custom code

const variables = { code output as object }; // it must be an object, not an array

return variables

}

The script also receives the options you inserted in the restAPI block, including URL and method, so you can use them in the script if needed.

e.g.

const { URL } = require('url');

module.exports = function(options){

const request = options;

const method = request.method;

const uri = request.uri;

const myURL = new URL(uri);

const host = myURL.host;

const hostname = myURL.hostname;

const href = myURL.href;

const pathname = myURL.pathname;

// etc...

// additional custom code

const variables = { code output as object };

return variables

}

Variables and custom (script) variables

To include asterisk variables in your URL, you must include them in curly brackets.

e.g.

https://myurl.com?phone={CALLERID(num)}

The same apply if you want to include them in the body of your request, or in your headers ( pay attention to the quotes "").

e.g.

{

"phone":"{CALLERID(num)}"

}

To include custom (script) variables, you must include them in double dollar $$ symbols.

e.g.

Your script returns an object like this:

{

key1: "value1",

key2: "value2"

}

To use them in your URL you can write:

https://myurl.com?myvar1=$$key1$$&myvar2=$$key2$$

and it will be completed like this:

https://myurl.com?myvar1=value1&myvar2=value2

The same apply if you want to include them in the body of your request, or in your headers ( pay attention to the quotes "").

So, if your body/header object is written like this:

{

"myvar1":"$$key1$$",

"myvar2":"$$key2$$"

}

it will be completed like this:

{

"myvar1":"value1",

"myvar2":"value2"

}

NOTE: All special chars in the returned strings from the script are escaped ( e.g. the slash / character is translated to &#x27, so if you want to avoid that you need to in clude an & symbol before the variable name:

e.g.

{

"myvar1":"$$&key1$$",

"myvar2":"$$&key2$$"

}

Built-in variables

👤 Agent management applications

This group of blocks allow to manage the Agents' status: 

• add agent to all the queues he belongs to (Login)

• remove agents to all the queues he belongs to (Logout)

• pause agents on all the queues he belongs to (Pause)

• end pause agent on all the queues he belongs to (End Pause)

This group of blocks can be used in an IVR to manage the queue status of the Agents who use external phones (softphones, hard phones or mobile phones) instead of (or blended with) the traditional Phonebar or the WebRTC bar Agents.
