Request Callback

Overview

This workflow object enables the caller to enter the phone number on which they would prefer to be called back.

1. An Example Scenario

2. Add Workflow Object

  1. Open the Workspace.

  2. Select Workflows from the Resources menu.

  3. Select a workflow from the list displayed to edit or create a new workflow.

  4. Click the workflow or Edit from the menu next to the selected workflow. A schematic representation of the workflow is displayed.

  5. Click the Add workflow object button  The New Workflow Object dialog opens.

When you include Request Callback in your automated workflow, enter the following details:

Field name

What you should do

Workflow Object Title

Enter a meaningful name for your new object.

Data Label

Enter the textual label that will be saved in the record of this object's execution in the ivr_activities table.

Input Timeout Period

Select the amount of time the caller will be allowed to finish inputting the phone number. If the timeout is exceeded, the caller is given a second chance before the call is terminated.

Minimum Digits

For validation purposes, what is the minimum number of digits the caller must enter?

Maximum Digits

For validation purposes, what is the maximum number of digits the caller can enter?

Explanatory Prompt

Select the sound file you wish the caller to hear. This is a sound file that instructs the caller how to input a phone number.

This sound file should explain to the caller the number of digits they are expected to enter, (e.g. minimum digits = 8 and maximum digits = 11) and instruct them to enter the hash key # at the end. If the caller does not use the hash key, the Input Timeout Period will be reached.

Error Message

Select the sound file you wish the caller to hear if they have entered invalid data.

Callback Queue

Select the callback queue to which this contact will be added.

TTS Profile

Default voice is used for this, but you can add new profile option using the Text to Speech Profiles module
