Hi all,

Before I go too far down a rabbit hole, has anyone attempted to generate a random code from within an Agent script?

A quick search didn't pull back any solid information, that I could find. Our goal here would be to create a button that allows an agent to generate a random 6 digit code (that can then later be sent to a caller via a send SMS data action). 

Has anyone done something similar within an agent script?

Thanks in advance!

Hello, Shane.

You can use a data action function and consume this in a script. Using NodeJS, you can build a simple or more complex algorithm, if necessary, to generate those numbers.

Thanks Arthur! We will definitely explore that.

We were really hoping for a native ability using dynamic variables or something along those lines would allow for this functionality within the script itself (without stepping out to a data action).

We also know we can set a random code within Architect and pass into the script, but would like to give an agent the ability to generate a random code dynamically and more than once, if needed. Agent clicks a button, random 6 digit code generated. If agent needs to generate the code again, he/she would click the button again to get another 6 digit code.

Really appreciate the suggestion! If we pursue that and have success, I'll definitely report back.

Thanks again!

Hello Shane,

You can create a dynamic number variable and use random(x,y) for decimal number or randomInt(x,y) for integer number.

Thanks Jan! This works excellent. Now for part 2 of my challenge and I'm working on this part currently. Do you know if there is a way to have a button generate the random code and then reset it each time the button is clicked?

Example, agent clicks the button initially to get a random 6 digit code and then clicks button a second time to get another random 6 digit code. I should be able to use RandomInt(100000,999999) as you mention above to force a random 6 digits. Just not totally sure how to execute or reset it via a button click. (if possible).

We have executed Data Actions and Open URL's via agent script button clicks, but not set/reset a specific variable like this. Fingers crossed.

I'll keep testing.

Thanks again!
