SMS Survey Invite

  • 1.  SMS Survey Invite

    Edited by Nicholas Squires 01-05-2023 05:42
    Good morning,

    I have created a data action that get's the ANI from the IVR and adds that to the next data action.

    The next data action sends an SMS containing the Survey URL to the ANI retrieved by the previous data action.

    This works great BUT....

    If the inbound call is made by a landline telephone number, the SMS is still sent to this number and the caller receives a call back from an automated voice reading out the URL link (which we obviously don't want).

    What do I need to do here to stop the survey invite being sent to a landline telephone?

    Your help would be greatly appreciated, many thanks,

    Only way would be to use a web service like whitepages.com or another one to see if the number is a mobile or land line.  These days, 90% are going to be mobile, so better to see what percentage of these calls you get and see if it makes sense to pay for the service.

    Hi
    You could check to see if the number begins with a 7 using:
    ToBool(Substring(Call.Ani,7,1)=="7")

    Kind Regards

    Hi Nick,

    Do you have an example of this you can send along? Does not seem to be working for me. My first attempt at survey flows. Thanks.

    Super
    I'll pull it together for you, would you like to give callers the option to enter a mobile number if calling from a land line?

    Hi Philip,

    Could you possibly share this with me too please?

    I currently only have it working for mobile callers, but an option for landlines to enter a mob number would be brilliant.

    Thank you!,

    Hi Both
    I've added some screen shots of an example I've just pulled together, it's a little light on the data action config and survey policies.  If you like I can go over those as well.

    Any questions, shout up
