V3 IVR Blocks

The blocks are collected in Groups of Applications: in the following sections you can find all available application for each group.

Entry group applications

This group - start, finally and end - manages the begin and the end of a call from an Application point of view.

Start

Description

The Start block must be the very first one in each IVR application. The application will not be published without the Start box: it can be used just once for each IVR.

Parameters

Label: here you can type a brief description of the box
Answer: If set to YES, the system answers the channel.

Exit Arrows

This block provides just one arrow out to the next step

Finally

Description

This block is executed when the application loses the voice channel. It should be used for example to write some data on a DB after the call hangup or at the end of each IVR. You can use all the boxes you want after the finally.

Of course boxes for audio playing will not have any effect on the customer experience.

Parameters

Label: here you can type a brief description of the box

Exit Arrows

This block provides just one arrow out to the next step

End

Description

This box needs to be placed at the end of every leaf of the IVR tree. You can put an End box either at the end of each leaf or have a unique End box whom all the leaves connect to.

Parameters

Label: here you can type a brief description of the box

Exit Arrows

This box does not have exit arrow

Call management applications

This group of boxes - answer, hangup, internal dial, external dial, queue, voicemail, callback - can be used to manage the begin and the end of a call from a Telephony point of view.

Answer	Description This box picks up the call and opens also the voice channel Parameters Label: here you can type a short description of the box Timeout: here you can setup a timeout in seconds the customer will wait before the system picks up the call.

Play and Menu nodes

This group manages the audio playing.

Playback	Description Here you can play an audio file without any interaction between the customer and the application. The audio is unstoppable Parameters Label: here you can type a brief description Audio: name of the audio file you want to play in the current box Exit Arrows This box provides just one arrow out to the next step
Menu	Description This is probably one of the most important application box available on Cally Square. Here you can build a complex menu using a single box: you can play the message, count the retries on errors (i.e. to avoid dangerous loops) and set a variable with the digit value(s) pressed by the customers Parameters Label: here you can type a brief description Audio: the name of the audio file you want to play in the current box Response Timeout: the maximum number of seconds the system waits before considering the customer not interacting with the application Max Digit: the maximum number of digits the system waits before moving on to the next step Retries: here you can set the number of loops automatically performed in case of digits not valid or timeout Variable: the variable you want to fill with the digits pressed by the customer. Please consider the menu box gives the top priority to the invalid (i) or timeout (t) branches (if present) before routing the call in a loop. # key can be used as an escape digit or as a valid exit key. If the user doesn't press any keys when the message plays, there is $timeout milliseconds of silence then the command ends. The user has the opportunity to press a key at any time during the message or the post-message silence. If the user presses a key while the message is playing, the message stops playing. When the first key is pressed a timer starts counting for $timeout milliseconds. Every time the user presses another key the timer is restarted. The command ends when the counter goes to zero or the maximum number of digits is entered, whichever happens first. Exit Arrows The menu box lets you draw many exit arrows according to the following syntax: X: the box waits for one digit if the MaxDigit parameter is set to one XX: the box waits for exactly N digits (in this example N=2) i: the system takes this path if the entry selected is invalid t: the system takes this path if the box goes in case of timeout -: the system considers this branch when the retry value is reached. Timeout and Invalid branches have higher priority than this branch. It is possible to add multiple choices for each output branch: use just the comma separated characters.
Say Digits	Description Here you can play the digits, one by one, in the chosen language (defaults to English) Parameters Label: here you can type a brief description Digits: the digits you want to be played: they can be both a digit string (i.e. 1234) or a VARIABLE (i.e. {CALLERID(num)}) Escape digits: special character to exit from the playing (i.e. #) Exit Arrows This box provides just one arrow out to the next step
Say Number	Description Here you can play a number (i.e. 2583 will be played like "two thousand, five hundred and eighty threes") Parameters Label: here you can type a brief description Number: the number you want to be played: they can be both a digit string (i.e. 1234) or a VARIABLE (i.e. {CALLERID(num)}) Escape digits: special character to exit from the playing (i.e. #) Exit Arrows This box provides just one arrow out to the next step
SayPhonetics	Description Here you can sequentially play each asterisk sound file located in /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/phonetic/character_p.gsm for each character in input using the NATO Phonetic Alphabet. Parameters Label: here you can type a brief description Text: the text you want to be played: it can be both a digit string (i.e. Joe) or a VARIABLE (i.e. {CALLERID(name)}) Escape digits: special character to exit from the playing (i.e. #) Exit Arrows This box provides just one arrow out to the next step
GetDigits	Description Here you can prompt the user to insert a series of digits: you can play the message, count the retries on errors (i.e. to avoid dangerous loops) and set a variable with the inserted digits value. Parameters Label: here you can type a brief description Audio: the name of the audio file you want to play in the current box Response Timeout: the maximum number of seconds the system waits before considering the customer not interacting with the application Min Digit: the minimum number of digits the system can accept without considering it an invalid entry Max Digit: the maximum number of digits the system waits before moving on to the next step Retry: here you can set the number of loops automatically performed in case of invalid digits Variable: the variable you want to fill with the digits pressed by the customer. Please consider that the getdigits box gives the top priority to the invalid (i) branch (if present) before routing the call in a loop. Pressing the # key has the same effect as the timer running out: the command ends and any previously keyed digits are returned. A side effect of this is that there is no way to read a # key using this command. If you don't specify $max_digits then the user can enter as many digits as they want. If the user doesn't press any keys when the message plays, there is $timeout milliseconds of silence then the command ends. The user has the opportunity to press a key at any time during the message or the post-message silence. If the user presses a key while the message is playing, the message stops playing. When the first key is pressed a timer starts counting for $timeout milliseconds. Every time the user presses another key the timer is reset. The command ends when the counter goes to zero or the maximum number of digits is entered, whichever happens first. Exit Arrows The getdigits box lets you draw many exit arrows according to the following syntax: x: is the exit arrow, the path taken when a valid digit is inserted. If not present, on valid entry the call will be dropped. i: the system takes this path if the entry is invalid. If not present it will simply loop the getdigits box until it runs out of retries. -: the system takes this path if it runs out of retries. If not present, when the system runs out of retries will simply drop the call.
GetSecretDigits	Description Here you can prompt the user to insert a series of digits and some of them will be hidden, for security reasons. You can play the message, set how many digits you want to hide, count the retries on errors (i.e. to avoid dangerous loops) and set a variable with the inserted digits value. Parameters Label: here you can type a brief description Audio: the name of the audio file you want to play in the current box Response Timeout: the maximum number of seconds the system waits before considering the customer not interacting with the application Min Digit: the minimum number of digits the system can accept without considering it an invalid entry Max Digit: the maximum number of digits the system waits before moving on to the next step Retry: here you can set the number of loops automatically performed in case of invalid digits Hidden Digits Number: the number of digits that the system will hide, for security reasons Hidden Digits Position: you can set if the First or Last #N digits will be hidden Variable: the variable you want to fill with the digits pressed by the customer. Please consider that the getsecretdigits box gives the top priority to the invalid (i) branch (if present) before routing the call in a loop. Pressing the # key has the same effect as the timer running out: the command ends and any previously keyed digits are returned. A side effect of this is that there is no way to read a # key using this command. If you don't specify $max_digits then the user can enter as many digits as they want. If the user doesn't press any keys when the message plays, there is $timeout milliseconds of silence then the command ends. The user has the opportunity to press a key at any time during the message or the post-message silence. If the user presses a key while the message is playing, the message stops playing. When the first key is pressed a timer starts counting for $timeout milliseconds. Every time the user presses another key the timer is reset. The command ends when the counter goes to zero or the maximum number of digits is entered, whichever happens first. Exit Arrows The getsecretdigits box lets you draw many exit arrows according to the following syntax: x: is the exit arrow, the path taken when a valid digit is inserted. If not present, on valid entry the call will be dropped. i: the system takes this path if the entry is invalid. If not present it will simply loop the getsecretdigits box until it runs out of retries. -: the sytem takes this path if it runs out of retries. If not present, when the system runs out of retries will simply drop the call.

LumenvoxASR

Description

This box allows you to do a voice-to-text conversion using the Lumenvox ASR application*

*In order to have this box working you must install Lumenvox on a machine that is reachable by your system.

The ASR save the results in three channel variables:

LUMENVOX_ASR_TRANSCRIPT: the result of the dictation recognition
LUMENVOX_ASR_CONFIDENCE: the precision of the recognition, between 0 and 1. Usually values above 0.8-0.9 means that the dictation has been correctly recognised.
LUMENVOX_ASR_INSTANCE: the instance of the recognition.

Parameters

Label: here you can type a brief description
Grammar: The grammar that should be used for the recognition. Grammars can be specified as text/XML inline for built-in grammars or by using a reference to an external file/URI.

If you need to use the multiple grammar, the value of the first grammar must be separated from the second one using a character defined (e.g.: grammar-a%grammar-b, defining the % as a delimiter in the options field gd):

LumenVox provides the following built-in grammars:

URI	Sample Input	Semantic Interpretation Result
builtin:grammar/boolean	"yes", "no thank you", etc.	"true" or "false"
builtin:grammar/date	"january thirteenth" or "december first two thousand"	"????0113" or "20001201"
builtin:grammar/digits	"one two three four"	"1234"
builtin:grammar/currency	"eighteen dollars and four cents"	"USD18.04"
builtin:grammar/number	"four hundred point five"	"400.5"
builtin:grammar/phone	"area code eight five eight seven oh seven oh seven oh seven"	"8587070707"
builtin:grammar/time	"six o clock" or "five thirty p m"	"0600?" or "0530p"

Options:

Options control details about the recognition. Valid options are:

p - Profile to use in mrcp.conf
i - Digits to allow recognition to be interrupted with. Set this to "none" to allow LumenVox to process the DTMF using a DTMF grammar. Otherwise, if "any" or other digits specified, recognition will be interrupted and the digit will be returned to dialplan.
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.

TildeASR

Description

This box allows you to do a voice-to-text conversion using the Tilde ASR Agi* Parameters

*Internet connection is required for this box to work

The ASR saves the results in two channel variables:

TILDE_ASR_TRANSCRIPT: the result of the dictation recognition
TILDE_ASR_CONFIDENCE: the precision of the recognition, between 0 and 1. Usually values above 0.8-0.9 means that the dictation has been correctly recognised.
TILDE_ASR_STATUS: the response status (integer)

TILDE_ASR_STATUS_MESSAGE: the response status message

TILDE_ASR_STATUS	TILDE_ASR_STATUS_MESSAGE
0	Success
1	No speech. Sent when the incoming audio contains a large portion of silence or non-speech
2	Aborted. Recognition was aborted for some reason.
9	Not available. Max load limit reached.
10	Authentication failed.
11	All recognition workers are currently in use and real-time recognition is not possible.

Attention: The variables TILDE_ASR_TRANSCRIPT and TILDE_ASR_CONFIDENCE are available just when TILDE_ASR_STATUS is equal to 0

Please note Tilde ASR require a valid app key from the tilde.com website and a sufficient amount of acquired credits.

Furthermore it is pure experimental and it can bring to unexpected behaviour.

Parameters

Label: here you can type a brief description
App ID: Your App ID from the tilde.com account
App Secret: Your App secret from the tilde.com account
Interrupt Key: special digits to exit the current recorded call
Timeout: maximum recording duration in seconds. If -1 the considered timeout is unlimited

Parameters

Label: here you can type a brief description
Grammar: The grammar that should be used for the recognition. Grammars can be specified as text/XML and its full path on the local server must be provided, like in the following example:

Options control details about the recognition. Valid options are:
- p - Profile to use in mrcp.conf
- i - Digits to allow recognition to be interrupted with. Set this to "none" to allow Sestek to process the DTMF using a DTMF grammar. Otherwise, if "any" or other digits specified, recognition will be interrupted and the digit will be returned to dialplan.
- 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). Sestek 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.
- sl - The barge-in sensitivity level (0.0 - 1.0). The higher this number, the easier it is to barge-in. 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.

Internet connection is required for this box to work 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}, callback){ // custom code var variables = { code output as object }; // it must be an object, not an array callback(null, 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, callback){ var request = options; var method = request.method; var uri = request.uri; const myURL = new URL(uri); var host = myURL.host; var hostname = myURL.hostname; var href = myURL.href; var pathname = myURL.pathname; // etc... // additional custom code var variables = { code output as object }; callback(null, 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 We provide the following Asterisk channels variables named variable name + _STATUS_CODE: shows the HTTP request status code variable name + _STATUS_MESSAGE: shows the HTTP request status message Example: RESULT_STATUS_CODE Exit Arrows This box provides just one arrow out to the next step

Call Flow

If you use Cally Square combined with XCALLY this should be: A rule name An agent A DID Extension: in many cases it may be “s”, however you can place the extensions according to your dialplan needs Priority: priority of the application in the dialplan Exit Arrows This box provides just one arrow out to the next step The goto block will interrupt the IVR execution and route the call toward another extension, but before that it will execute any finally block with all its other following blocks, if there is any.
Gotoif	Description Performs a conditional jump according to a comparison result Parameters Label: brief description Condition: it is the comparison condition. It could be: = < > != <= >= \|\| for “OR” and “&&” for “AND” == equal to === equal value and equal type != not equal !== not equal value or not equal type A Condition example: '{CHANNEL(language)}' == 'en' \|\| '{CHANNEL(language)}' == 'fr' The above condition is TRUE when the channel language is English or French JS Operators For more information, please refer to: http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_operators.asp Exit Arrows For this box you must create two exit arrows using the following values: true: routes to the path in the IVR tree for the condition verified as true false: routes to the path in the IVR tree for the condition verified as false
GotoifTime	Description This box lets you take decisions based on the time intervals Parameters Label: a brief description of the box Time interval: select the time interval pre-defined in the time intervals sections Exit Arrows For this box you must create two exit arrows using the following values: true: routes to the path in the IVR tree for the time interval condition verified as true false: routes to the path in the IVR tree for the time interval condition verified as false
Switch	Description This block is very similar to the menu block, unlike the fact that the pat the call will take depends on a variable. Indeed you can set a variable to be read and choose a branch depending on its value. Parameters Label: brief description Variable: here you can choose a variable from a pick up list Exit Arrows The block lets you draw many exit arrows depending on how many values the variable can assume. -: In addition there is a branch in case none of the branches values match the value of the variable It is possibile to add multiple choices for each output branch: just use the comma separated characters.

Important

A callback scenario is something in which your customers waiting in queue can optionally be diverted to a callback capability. Such capability invites the customer to leave the queue, thus the call center will call him/her back in a lighter traffic period. This feature is mostly used with a queue campaign and it works only if you have the Motion Dialer license

Let's consider that Queue campaign time interval is from 8:00-18:00 and Callback Delay is 30 min. If a customer calls in at 17:40 and decided to be called back, the contact will be scheduled for 18:10. Keep in mind that this is out of the campaign time interval hence Motion Bull will call the contact in the next valid time interval and when there is at least one available agents.

Agent Management Sample IVR

You can find a sample Agent Management IVR Project on your server: see here how it works.

Important

The mathematical operation must follow the javascript rules: Operators and String Methods.

** Example of Filename: recording-{EPOCH}-{CALLERID(num)}

(You will get something like recording-1393061376-243534507 where 1393061376 is the timestamp and 243534507 is the caller number)

The recordings will be available for listening inside the Recordings section.

Text input specific synytax

You can insert Asterisk* variables inside the Text input.

The Asterisk* variables must be insert without quotes, e.g.:

Hi{CALLERID(name)}we will call you back at {CALLERID(num)}

About REST API

A RESTful API (REST is an acronym for Representational State Transfer) is an application program interface (API) that uses HTTP requests to GET, PUT, POST and DELETE data: the client requests the server for the required information, via an API, and then, the server sends a response to the client.
The data returned by the server, in response to the request of the client is either in the format of JSON or XML. Both JSON and XML format have a proper hierarchical structure of data. REST is an architectural style as well as an approach for communication purposes that is often used in various web services development (the architectural style of REST helps in leveraging the lesser use of bandwidth to make an application more suitable for the internet).
