Callflow Dynamic CID#

About Dynamic CID#

The Dynamic CID callflow enables you to dynamically change the Caller ID (CID). There are different methods for doing that:

  • manual: dial the new Caller ID on the keypad when prompted, this way you can set the Caller ID number only. This works with and without a capture group
  • list: setting Caller ID name and number based on the configuration on the specified document in the database. This requires a capture group
  • lists: almost the same as list mode but you can use account's lists feature to configure entries
  • static set the caller id to a value in a caller_id.name and caller_id.number property in the data object. This works with and without a capture group

Callflow fields#

Schema#

Validator for the dynamic_cid callflow data object

Key Description Type Default Required Support Level
action What action to perform string('list' | 'lists' | 'manual' | 'static') false
caller_id.name Caller ID Name string() false
caller_id.number Caller ID Number string() false
caller_id Static Caller ID settings object() false
enforce_call_restriction Check classification restrictions against endpoint boolean() true false
id List ID for caller IDs when 'action' is 'list' string() false
idx_name Named capture group to use string() false
interdigit_timeout How long, in seconds, to wait for keypresses integer() false
max_digits Max number of digits allowed when collecting Caller ID Number integer() false
media_id Prompt to play to caller to enter Caller ID Number string() false
min_digits Minimum number of digits that must match the regex to collected DTMF integer() false
permit_custom_callflow Permit a custom callflow to be accepted instead of restricting to no_match only when looking up callflows boolean() false false
skip_module When set to true this callflow action is skipped, advancing to the wildcard branch (if any) boolean() false
whitelist_regex Regex to match collected Caller ID Number string() false

Manual action mode#

In this method user is prompted to dial a new Caller ID number. The length of the dialed new Caller ID is checked to be in the default(or configured) boundary and it is also matched against the default(or configured) regex, if these checks are passed the call will proceed.

Notes You can only set the Caller ID number with this method.

Example Scenario#

User dial *212223332222 (assuming you set the feature code to *2 by setting callflow patterns to "^\\*2([0-9]{2,})$") and prompted to dial the new Caller ID number, then the call will send onto real destination which in this case is 12223332222.

Manual callflow settings#

You may want to customize manual behavior in system_configs/callflow.dynamic_cid.

Schema#

Schema for callflow.dynamic_cid system_config

Key Description Type Default Required Support Level
accept_prompt callflow.dynamic_cid accept prompt string() tone_stream://%(250,50,440) false
default_prompt callflow.dynamic_cid default prompt string() dynamic-cid-enter_cid false
max_digits callflow.dynamic_cid max digits integer() 10 false
min_digits callflow.dynamic_cid min digits integer() 10 false
reject_prompt callflow.dynamic_cid reject prompt string() dynamic-cid-invalid_using_default false
whitelist_regex callflow.dynamic_cid whitelist regex string() \d+ false

List action mode#

In this method you have flexibility to define multiple Caller ID, each assign to a specific number using account's list. You can set both the Caller ID name and number in a document in database. This callflow's module use that information to set new Caller ID. You can create your list and list's entries using List Crossbar API.

This done by first getting group capture which populate by callflow automatically (feature code is removed from the beginning) then get a specific length of numbers starting from the beginning of the dialed number (by default 2 numbers). This number is it the key (or index) in a list of Caller ID entry list. For and example how this works, see the example section.

This behavior is exactly same as lists action, the only difference is that you can define the index of the matching number (entry index) in the callflow data in idx_name.

Notes You can set both the Caller ID number and name with this method.

List Entry document fields#

Schema#

Schema for a match list entries

Key Description Type Default Required Support Level
capture_group_key The number which is used to select this entry, length should be same as capture_group_length string() false
capture_group_length Length of the numbers in the list entries for which it used to select desire Caller ID integer() false
displayname Display name string(1..128) false
firstname A friendly firstname string(1..128) false
lastname A friendly lastname string(1..128) false
list_id List id string() true
number Phone number string() false
pattern Match pattern string() false
profile Profile data object() {} false
type string(1..128) false

profile#

Defines user extended properties

Key Description Type Default Required Support Level
addresses.[].address To specify the address string() false
addresses.[].types To specify types of the address array() false
addresses To specify the components of the addresses array(object()) false
assistant To specify the user's assistant string() false
birthday To specify the birth date of the user string() false
nicknames.[] string() false
nicknames To specify the text corresponding to the nickname of the user array(string()) false
note To specify supplemental information or a comment that is associated with the user string() false
role To specify the function or part played in a particular situation by the user string() false
sort-string To specify the family name or given name text to be used for national-language-specific sorting of the FN and N types string() false
title To specify the position or job of the user string() false

Example 1: Two digits as CID selector#

Consider that the user wants to call number 5149072508 using the caller id 16139999999. We assume that callflow patterns set as follow:

    "patterns": [
        "^\\*2([0-9]{2,})$"
    ]

and the list entry document is:

{
    "capture_group_length" : 2,
    "capture_group_key": "01",
    "number": "19058888888",
    "name": "Awesome Inc."
}

These are the steps will happen if a user dial *2015149072508 in handset:

  1. This pattern above means that *2 is the "feature code". Callflow will use this module to handle the call
  2. 01 will be used to select the Caller ID with number "19058888888" and name "Awesome Inc.". Consider that it's length is 2 digits as specified in capture_group_length field
  3. Selected CID will be set for the call
  4. 5149072508 becomes +15149072508 and gets dialed as such

Example 2: One digits as CID selector#

Another example which uses number with length of 1 to select the Caller ID:

{
    "capture_group_length" : 1,
    "capture_group_key": "0",
    "number": "16139999999",
    "name": "Awesome Co."
}

Dialing number *205149072508 will cause number "5149072508" gets dialed with CID number set to "16139999999" CID name to "Awesome Co.".

Lists action mode#

Almost the same as list mode using account's lists feature to configure entries.

Static action mode#

In this method the new Caller ID number and name would be set to caller_id value sets in the callflow Data object.

Example Callflow Data#

{
    "data": {
        "action": "static",
        "caller_id": {
            "name": "CALL_ME",
            "number": "5555555555"
        }
    },
    "module": "dynamic_cid"
}

Permit Custom Callflow#

The config parameter permit_custom_callflow is used in the lists action type case. When attempting to fetch the callflow, the default behavior is to reject any callflow returned which is not the no_match callflow. If a callflow is defined which matches the resultant destination number, this setting allows that callflow to be used, bypassing the no_match restriction.
