Ananke Callback features#

This application originate calls on various events

voicemail_saved#

When this event is received the following fields are checked

  • notify.callback.number in corresponding vmbox
  • or voicemail.notify.callback.number in vmbox owner's document

to get a number.

Also the following fields are checked

  • notify.callback.disabled in vmbox
  • voicemail.notify.callback.disabled in vmbox owner's document

If number was determined and notifications are not disabled, the call is being originated. The second leg is voicemail check callflow number.

To determinate callbacks schedule following fields are checked

  • notify.callback.schedule in vmbox
  • voicemail.notify.callback.schedule in vmbox owner's document
  • voicemail.notify.callback.schedule in account document

schedule should be array of intervals (in seconds) between callback attempts.

If schedule is not found a call will determine schedule from attempts and interval_s values. In this case call will be attempted attempts times every interval_s seconds.

Call timeout can be adjasted by modifying timeout_s option.

These parameters can be set in (first one that's set wins).

  • attempts
    • notify.callback.attempts in vmbox
    • voicemail.notify.callback.attempts in vmbox owner's document
    • voicemail.notify.callback.attempts in account's document
    • voicemail.notify.callback.attempts in ananke's system config (default 5)
  • interval_s
    • notify.callback.interval_s in vmbox
    • voicemail.notify.callback.interval_s in vmbox owner's document
    • voicemail.notify.callback.interval_s in account's document
    • voicemail.notify.callback.interval_s in ananke's system config (default 300)
  • timeout_s
    • notify.callback.timeout_s in vmbox
    • voicemail.notify.callback.timeout_s in vmbox owner's document
    • voicemail.notify.callback.timeout_s in account's document
    • voicemail.notify.callback.timeout_s in ananke's system config (default 20)

Note: for automatic mailbox number detection single_mailbox_login=true must be set in voicemail callflow module and user should use only one voice mailbox.

Note: options voicemail.notify.callback.disabled = true in vmbox owner's document and notify.callback.disabled = false in vmbox will allow callback notification.

How it works (brief version): - after checking conditions (checking if called party is not disabled) we look for voicemail checking callflow. - after that it checks that there are no notifications planned for this vmbox yet - if there are planned notifications, nothing is done - if not - the call is planned after given timeout - if call attempt was successful - there will be no further notifications - if call was not answered/was not successul and number of tries doesn't exceed limit, the next call is planned
