Engage Voice | Notifying your CRM about call disposition
Dan Clay owns a propane and propane accessories company in Dallas, Texas. To manage his increasing customer base, Dan maintains a CRM system that he uses to store and analyze client data. Dan also runs an outbound campaign through Engage Voice that he uses to make outbound calls to customers or prospects.
Dan wants to collect enough call data to allow him to make informed business decisions. Those decisions involve using the call data to determine when will be the best time to run another outbound campaign, and which customers should be included in that campaign.
To capture the call data and associate it with his CRM’s analysis tools, Dan wants to set up notifications from Engage Voice to his CRM about certain call data, such as the data from the phone calls themselves, and the dispositions that agents may set at the end of calls indicating the result of the call.
Dan wants to know the phone number dialed, the first and last name of the callee, and the call disposition. To gather this data, Dan will need to configure two web services: a post-call web service that gathers the agent’s ID, the call duration, and the lead phone number data; and a post-disposition web service that gathers the result of the call as per the call disposition set by the agent after a call. In each web service, Dan will use certain tags to specify the data elements to be sent with the web service from Engage Voice to his CRM.
Dan wants to confirm that he’ll get complete call information regardless of whether his agent’s workflow has them dispositioning or ending the call first. Together, both web services provide the complete data that Dan needs to decide whether a prospect should be included in his next campaign.
Goals
Set up the notification of call data to the CRM:
1. Gather call detail data about phone calls to Dan’s customers
2. Gather call disposition data about phone calls to Dan’s customers
3. Use a web service to provide the data to Dan’s CRM
Plan
Create or configure these services and settings to support sending data to the CRM:
1. Create a post-call web service template that gathers the phone number and callee name data
2. Create a post-disposition web service template that gathers the disposition set by the agent
3. Configure the outbound campaign to use the integrated web services
Lessons

2. Configuring the web service templates to specify the data to be collected by the services
3. Setting webhooks, or triggers, for the web services in the outbound campaign configuration

Preconditions
Before creating his web services templates, Dan must have developed the underlying web services. Dan has decided that the underlying web service will be a service that creates a new customer record based on the HTTP POST operation. Dan will set up his analysis tool to compare this record against his CRM database.
Dan must also have created and configured his outbound campaign. Specific instructions for how to do that can be found in Creating a campaign. Dan should also have completed providing all the necessary configuration settings for his outbound campaign, as well as defining a lead list that contains data that is accurate enough so that he can match it against records in his CRM.
After completing this configuration, Dan is ready to start creating web services and setting up the triggers.
