  • 1.  Capture DTMF pressed in an Menu option

    Hi Team,

    Is there any way to capture DTMF pressed in a menu ? e.g. I have pressed 9 , then is there an system variable  called DTMF which captures it , so that we can manipulate our IVR Decision the basis of DTMF Capture? Or there is anyway to store it in a variable , please let me know.

    Thanks,

    No there is no system variable.

    For every menu choice use a task (every action available as a menu choice is also available in task).  Put an Update Data action as the first action in the task, set the value to to what they chose, and make it Flow-scoped instead of Task-scoped.

    Thanks Mellisa,

    This is helpful , but what exactly i need to achieve a method to detect No input condition via menus . If i will put set DTMF in every task , then in Menu Default choice , i will have to choose one of the task defined in menus (which will have any DTMF set in task) . so i won't be able to differentiate in between No Match and No input condition. Is there any way to achieve No Input condition via Menus?

    Create a reusable task with the actions you want if the user doesn't select anything. 
    Add a task to the menu.  Don't assign a DTMF, give it a speech rec term that the user will never say like "abracadabra."  In this task, set the flow-scoped variable to "no input" or something, then jump to the reusable task.
    Set this menu option as the default menu choice.

    I already tried this method . But only issue i feel is when i was testing this while talking to someone , the prompt file got skipped and it directly jumped to the No Entry Loop . Which is not an ideal scenario and can happen with customer anytime as well while testing . So finding any other way to do this ? Can you suggest anything other than this?

    Disable barge in on your play audio action.

    When you're using the sequence builder, use the Enable barge-in checkbox to control barge in. AudioPlaybackOptions can only be used when the audio action is using custom expression mode.

    No, barge-in does not distinguish between DTMF and speech.

    I generally do my menus inside a Task using a Collect input step, then a Switch step to analyze and direct the input.  In the Collect Input, the failure path would equate to "No entry".  In the Switch task, the Default path would equate to "Invalid Entry"  If you need this information for later use (i.e. want it part of the call record, or might want to access it in a different flow) add a Set Participant Data step.

    Thanks Michael, I could achieve that using Collect Input , was trying to achieve any possible way through menus.
