IVR Campaign

An IVR-based campaign refers to a marketing or communication initiative that utilizes Interactive Voice Response (IVR) technology to interact with customers. IVR is an automated telephony system that allows callers to interact with pre-recorded voice prompts or touch-tone keypad entries.

General Information

FieldDescription
URL to PushThis URL is to send callback details
Hit ScreenPop URI at1. Client-side: If this is configured, the Caller Number / Campaign Name / Skill Name is passed to the Agent browser side so that the data appears as an IFrame.

2. Server Side: The caller details are passed to the CRM Server if this is configured. The data is captured in CRM access logs. This is typically used by Agents / Clients who are not logged into the browser but can still access CRM data. Generally used in Offline Campaigns which allow the data to be accessed by CRM, during the call.

3. Client-side On Busy: This is similar to Client-Side, but, CloudAgent sends the ScreenPop only when the agent becomes BUSY. (i.e., only when he is On Call). So, the IFrame on the agent screen is opened only when the agent is on Call. i.e., the Client is BUSY.

4. Client and Server: CloudAgent hits the ScreenPop URL to both the Client Side & Server side of CRM. IFrame is also opened and Access logs of CRM will get the data in the backend, #1 & #2.****

5. Plugin: This is used for the integration of ZOHO CRM. At this point, we use the ScreenPop URL field = ZOHO.
ScreenPopURLThis is the URL provided by the CRM vendor to fetch the data from the CRM system and show it as an IFrame on the agent screen. IFrame is the pop-up window that appears in the lower half of the agent screen.

Campaign settings

  • Recent First: When enabled, this setting prioritizes recently added phone numbers, ensuring they are dialed first by the system.
  • STD Enabled: When this feature is active, the system automatically dials the numbers with a prefixed 0 (zero) added before the 10-digit phone numbers available in the campaign list.
  • ACW for Unanswered Call: Check this box if you want the Agent to wrap up Un-Answered calls. With this box checked, Agents will go to ACW State even for unanswered calls. By default, this box is unchecked.
  • Dial Customer First: With this feature enabled, the system prioritizes dialing the customer first. If the customer answers the call, the system then proceeds to connect them with an available agent.
  • Allow Manual Dialing: This feature allows the agents to make manual calls.
  • Apply DID masking: This feature enables the masking of DID (Direct Inward Dialing) numbers - providing an enhanced level of privacy and security.
  • Dial by holding agent: In Progressive dialing, the system automatically dials customers one by one, placing the agent on hold until a customer answers. This seamless process saves time and boosts productivity, allowing agents to focus solely on live conversations.
