  • 1.  Dialer SMS Outbound Regular Expression

    Posted 08-05-2020 13:33
    Hello Pure Connect community,

    I have a regular expression question for the community.

    In Interaction Administrator under SMS Configuration we find Outbound routing.  It is a first match and out routing table.  
    What I am looking for is an example of a Regular Expression that would be a match for the whole outbound number for a new SMS campaign.

    For example I would want to match 171455551234 among the following
       17145551231
       17145551232
       17145551233
       17145551234
       

    I have tried many calculators and the expressions that work online do not work in  the SMS configuration. 

    I believe the wildcards of .* are causing an issue (everything is matching the first line)

    This was setup before my time and support is calling it out of scope.

    Wade,

    I just want to check that it isn't a typo in the question. Are you saying you want to drop the extra 5 in the number before matching to the list? If so, is it always one additional digit? If so, is it always a 5? Can this digit appear anywhere in the Dial string, or is it always in the Exchange part?

    You are correct that ".*" is a full wildcard (The "." matches any single character, the "*" is interpreted as "zero or more of what came before", so ".*" will match a string of any length.

    If you can provide a little more context, we may be able to help here.

    Yes it was a typo. 

    I am looking to send an sms out on a different TFN.  I have 10 sequential TFN's. 

    With the wild card it is going out on the first choice.  so I would like to move my new TFN to the top of the list and have my new campaign go out that route. The problem is when I change the Regular expression it fails and goes out the 2nd choice. I am looking at logs now to see what is going on with that.  when I put the .* wildcard with the new TFN at the top of the list it goes out with the correct number.  Unfortunately so do the production campaigns.

    What wildcard are you using that doesn't work?
    I haven't done much with SMS, but you could try something like .*17145551231.* (I don't know if the broker has extra stuff before and after the number?)

    So I gave it a try and the SMS still went out the second route.  I also changed it to a .* (first route) and it went out the first route.  A quick and dirty test to see if my account settings are good.

    Hi Wade,

    I would try to re-defined your outbound routing as i am not sure why you have so many .* entries configured. Try and create a new one and place first in your list, have it configured like below:

    Type: DNIS
    Regular Expression: .*
    Formatted number: $0
    broker: Genesys
    Account ID: <default>
    Access Control: Select the desired classification ** you must select at least one or sms will fail when trying to send.

    If the above is not do able or does not work, i would try having the regular expression of [1][7][1][4][5][5][5][1][2][3][1] 

    Thank you,
