      Specify global settings for your contact center.

      Introduction

      The System settings page enables you to specify global settings for your contact center. Some settings can be overridden by settings at the feature level. To open the System settings page, in the Voiso navigation bar, navigate to Administration > System settings.

      Important

      Whenever you modify settings on the System settings page, remember to scroll to the bottom and click Save to make your changes active.

      The System settings pages comprises the following sections:

      General

      The General section enables you to specify settings for features that apply across all aspects of your contact center.

      System Settings General Parameters

      Call suppression

      Refer to Call Suppression for more information about this feature.

      The Call Suppression feature prevents excessive dialing to the same number in a single day, ensuring compliance and protecting network resources. Once a number hits the call limit, further dialing is blocked until the next day.

      For Startup and Pro plans, the maximum is 10 attempts, adjustable from 1 to 10. Pro+ plans allow up to 15 attempts, adjustable from 1 to 15. Numbers exceeding the limit are automatically suppressed until the next day, but Pro+ administrators can manually release them if needed.

      Tip

      This mandatory feature cannot be disabled, ensuring appropriate, compliant outbound dialing practices.

      Important

      For teams assigned to a Dialer campaign, the Max Dial Attempts value of the campaign cannot exceed the Max number of attempts value.

      The Call suppression section includes the following settings:

      System Settings Call Suppression

      The following default voice message, Call suppression, is played to an agent when they attempt to dial a suppressed number:

      FeatureDescription
      Exclude failed callsSpecify whether failed calls are excluded from the calculation of Max Dial Attempts for Call Suppression.
      Max call attemptsSpecify the number of dial attempts made to a number before the number is added to the list of suppressed numbers.

      Speech analytics

      The Speech analytics section enables you to specify the Speech analytics feature settings.

      The Voiso Speech Analytics service uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning to process call audio recordings into text transcripts.

      Custom keywords in a conversation are underlined in the transcript to make conversation review fast and easy. The highlighted keywords help supervisors instantly locate important parts of a conversation.

      The Speech Analytics section includes the following settings:

      System Settings Speech Analytics Parameters

      Raw Data Streaming to Amazon SQS settings

      Voiso provides raw data streaming for contact center interactions to Amazon's Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) for client-end processing. This is a one-way-only process. Voiso cannot interact with your data once it is on Amazon SQS.

      Tip

      This feature is also available for developers as a pre-built integration.

      System Settings AWS SQS Settings

      To activate this feature, select Enabled, then specify the following parameters defined in your Amazon account:

      • Queue URL
      • Access Key ID
      • Secret Access Key

      The AWS SQS feature enables you to replicate call data to AWS SQS when one of the selected events occurs:

      • inbound.call.ended
      • outbound.call.ended
      • dialer.call.ended
      Caution

      If you select one or more of the event triggers, the data structure defined in the Developer's Portal Webhooks overview articles is sent to AWS instead of the legacy data structure define in the Developers Guide Raw data streaming to SQS article.

      Call Outcome Logging

      Voiso Call Outcome Logging feature supports Voiso integration with your CRM or other third-party systems. When a call is completed, Voiso uses the Call Outcome Logging webhook to send call related data to the specified endpoint.

      System Settings Call Outcome Logging

      To activate this feature, select Enabled, then specify the URL of the endpoint.

      Call Notify API

      The Voiso Call Notify API feature supports Voiso integration with your CRM or other third-party system. When an inbound call is answered by an agent, Voiso uses the Call Notify webhook to send a data array to your endpoint when the call is answered.

      System Settings Call Notify API

      To activate this feature, select Enabled, then specify the URL of the endpoint.

      Security Log Streaming to Amazon SQS

      Voiso provides the Security Log Streaming to Amazon SQS integration for client-end processing. This is a one-way-only process. Voiso cannot interact with your data once it is on Amazon SQS.

      Tip

      This feature is also available for developers as a pre-built integration.

      System Settings Security Log Streaming

      To activate this feature, select Enabled, then specify the following parameters defined in your Amazon SQS account:

      • Queue URL
      • Access Key ID
      • Secret Access Key

      Call recordings replication to Amazon S3

      If your contact center uses the Voiso Professional Plan or higher, you have the option to replicate call recordings to your Amazon S3 bucket using the Call recordings replication to Amazon S3 integration.

      Tip

      This feature is also available for developers as a pre-built integration.

      When this feature is enabled for your contact center, the Call recordings replication to Amazon S3 section is available for you.

      System Settings Call Recordings Upload To Amazon S3

      To activate this feature, select Enabled, then specify the name of the Amazon S3 bucket in the Bucket field to which you want to stream recordings.

      The Region and AWS User fields are pre-filled by Voiso based on the cluster information. When you configure your bucket on Amazon, copy the information from the AWS User field into your S3 bucket policy.

      If Speech analytics is enabled for your account, you can select Upload Call transcriptions to also stream call transcripts to your S3 bucket.

      The following folder and file structure is used for call recordings:

      • One folder per calendar day
      • Folders are named using a year, month, day tree structure. For example: 2023 > 03 > 13.
      • Call recording files are named as follows: <uuid>.mp3 where UUID is the universally unique identifier number assigned to the call (For example, refer to the screenshot).
      • You can find RTF files of call transcriptions in the same bucket with the call recordings, in the Transcriptions folder. The call transcript file naming format is <uuid>.rtf.
      Tip

      You can use the CDR API endpoint to obtain interaction UUIDs.

      CRM integration

      If you have your Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platform integrated with Voiso, the specific settings for that CRM are displayed in these sections. For detailed information about how to use these sections for your specific CRM platform, refer to CRM integration settings.

      Feature access codes

      If your contact center uses Hardware Phone or third-party softphones instead of the Voiso WebRTC Softphone, you can allow supervisors to dial a code that enables them to engage with a call being handled by an agent. Use the fields in this section to specify the number that a supervisor enters into their dialpad to silently monitor a call, whisper coach an agent without the contact hearing the supervisor, or barge into a call.

      System Settings Feature Access Codes

      For a supervisor to use this feature, their user account must have the Allow Feature Access Code option enabled.

      To use the feature, the supervisor must dial the access code and then the agent's extension: *<access code>*<agent extension>. For example: *22*5678.
