The eva-evg-connector is an IVR integration channel with eva.
In this guide we will see how to set up a project using the eva-evg-connector.
For more information on how to create flows in eva and what each of the IVR commands is that we will see below, please refer to the following eva documentation.
Versions
Note that eva-evg-connector is a peer dependency of eva. This change allows greater flexibility of choosing the right version of the eva-evg-connector client version for eva version.
Requirements
For building and running the application you need:
To include the evg-connector in your project, use the @EnableEvgConnector annotation in your project's main class
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import com.everis.eva.evgconnector.annotation.EnableEvgConnector;
@EnableEvgConnector
@SpringBootApplication
public class EvgDemoApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(EvgDemoApplication.class, args);
}
}
Quickstart
To give an example of the connector's usage, we will create a class called DemoService and have it extend the EvgConnectorBase class.
The ConversationRequest object is used when calling the eva. What parameters to pass and what will be sent to the eva will be further detailed down this article.
In this example we are making a call to eva in order to execute a Welcome Flow. To know how to configure the eva call see the documentation Conversation API and for more about the authentication of the Conversation API see item Client Credentials Authorization.
This results in the execution of a flow, getting the response from the eva, and generating commands in the IVR based on the eva's response.
Contains call data such as the number making and receiving the call.
context
JSON Object
Yes
Helper object that can be used to keep the state of the call, in it we can store data that will be kept during the call, for example, the sessionCode of the eva.
Enumeration that indicates the execution status of the requested command.
message
String
Contains the details of the execution.
digits
String
User input, the value is filled when the user uses the cell phone keyboard.
transcription
String
User input, the value is filled when the user speak.
SUCCESS
Indicates a successful queuing of the audio file or a successful queuing of the TTS synthesizer request command.
ERROR
Informs that an error status occurred in the command. More details should be looked for in the error message.
FILLED
This enumeration indicates that the client's response to the menu (either voice or DTMF) successfully met the criteria configured therein. (e.g.: correct number of DTMF digits or successful transcription)
DISCONNECT
This status tells you that the customer disconnected the call while processing the call. Usually occurs during menus or transfer requests.
NO_INPUT
This enumeration indicates that the customer's response to the menu (either voice or DTMF) did not meet the criteria configured therein because he did not type any DTMF option or because he did not speak any words or phrases.
NO_MATCH
This enumeration indicates that the client's response to the menu (either voice or DTMF) did not meet the criteria set there because he did not type a valid DTMF length (but did type some DTMF) or because he did not speak any words or phrases that could be transcribed (But noise was detected).
fetchTimeout
Long
The default amount of time in milliseconds the IVR will wait for a page/json fetch.
fetchAudio
String
The path to the default audio file to be used during IVR platform fetch events.
fetchAudioDelay
Long
The default value for the fetch audio delay. This is the amount of time in milliseconds the IVR will wait while transitioning and fetching resources before it starts playing the fetch audio.
fetchAudioMinimum
Long
The minimum time in milliseconds to play a fetch audio source, once started, even if the fetch result arrives in the meantime. The idea is that once the user does begin to hear a fetch audio, it should not be stopped too quickly.
fetchAudioInterval
Long
Controls the time interval between fetch audio loops. The default value is 0. A value of -1 is valid and will prevent the audio loop.
