What is a Voice Trigger
A voice trigger is invoked every time there is an outgoing or incoming calls.
The trigger will execute its actions if the defined conditions are met. Here are few applications of voice triggers:
- opening the contact information
- displaying Screen Pop-up that provides value added information
- integrate with applications like Zendesk, Salesforce, Sugar CRM, Desk, Zoho and Freshdesk
- integrate with other 3rd party applications like your own CRM.
- automatically starting survey for agents
Voice triggers are composed of conditions and actions. This section explains how to build conditions and the available actions for the voice channel.
Voice trigger conditions
A condition for voice channel is constructed by using properties like Queue, Call status or outbound, an operator and a value.
There are two types of conditions:
- Meet all these conditions: the overall condition will be true only if all the conditions are true.
- Meet any of these conditions: the overall condition will be true if at least one of the conditions is true.
It is possible to specify more complex conditions by using both types: in this case, the result is true if both conditions are true.
In the example shown below, the overall condition is true if the call is in Support or Sales queue and the call is answered.
The condition will always return true if you do not define any condition. In this case, the specified actions will always be executed.
You can use the following fields and operators to build condition statements:
|
Fields |
Operators |
Values |
|---|---|---|
| Queue |
Equals to Not equals to |
You can select from a list of voice queues (Inbound) and queue campaigns (Outbound) |
| Call status |
Equals to Not equals to |
|
| Outbound Route |
Equals to Not equals to |
You can select from a list of outbound route |

Voice trigger actions are functions executed when the defined voice trigger conditions are true.
In the following section you find a list of actions.
