Integrate with Agent Dialer

There are two methods of Voicent Agent Dialer integration. First, you can invoke Voicent Agent Dialer program through a command line; second, you can set up callback functions.

If you need more control of the call, Voicent also provides developers with a gateway level interface. Compared with the application level interface, such as the Agent Dialer programming interface, the gateway level interface is a lower level programming interface and offers more options and flexibility.

Command Line Interface

The following is a simple example of launching Voicent Agent Dialer program and start predictive dialing:

dialer.exe "C:\mygroup\list.aoc" -startnow -pd

For more details, please see Voicent Predictive Dialer Command Line Interface.

Callback Function

You can specify a callback function or callback URL when launchingpredictive dailer through the command line. These functions are called after each phone call is made by the dialer.

If a callback function/program is specified, the program is lauched after a call is finished. The parameters for the program should contain all information about the call, including the name, phone number, and the call status and confirmation status.

If a callback URL is specified, an HTTP POST is submitted to the URL after a call is finished. The parameters of the HTTP POST include all the name value pairs about the call, including the call status and confirmation status.

Using Voicent IVR Studio

To further customer your call message and integrate with web site, CRM, or email server, you need Voicent IVR Studio, which enables you to create multi-level, multi-language interactive application. It is fully integrated with Voicent BroadcastByPhone Auto Dialer.
