How to start IVR integration?

[test.suffescom]

Hi,

I got message from support.

To get started, your developer should open a free developers account to begin work and getting familiar with Plum’s platform. We will assign a temporary toll free phone number and apply a $30 credit towards testing. When the free testing reaches zero, you’ll be required to subscribe.

Plum’s DEV platform is based VXML. So you understand, development work takes place in your developers preferred scripting language like PHP or Ruby, etc. Plum’s web interface is a utility to assign phone numbers to IVR application URLs, run reports and test/verify segments of code.

I suggest reviewing the following links to Plum Dev (VXML) platform: Free Developers Account http://www.plumvoice.com/
Documentation http://www.plumvoice.com/docs/dev/

Hi,

You can use the <subdialog> in order to perform validation logic from within your infrastructure. The subdialog tag can take input from the caller and use these as parameters while fetching a script from your server. Your server will then send a VXML script back with the result from the given parameters. Here's an example:

validate.php:

Code: Select all

<?php
header("Content-type: text/xml");
echo("<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>\n");

$account_num = $_GET['account_num'];

$valid = $account_num == '1111';
?>

<vxml version="2.0">
  <form>
    <block>
      <var name="valid" expr="'<?= $valid ? 'true' : 'false' ?>'"/>
      <return namelist="valid"/>
    </block>
  </form>
</vxml>

main.php:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<vxml version="2.1">
  <var name="account_num" />
  <form id="account_num_form">
    <field name="_account_num" type="digits">
      <prompt> Enter your account number </prompt>
      <filled>
        <assign name="account_num" expr="_account_num" />
        <goto next="#sub_validate" />
      </filled>
    </field>
  </form>
  <form id="sub_validate">
    <subdialog name="validate" src="http://twist.plumgroup.com/~echoi/validate.php" namelist="account_num" />
    <block>
      The result is: <value expr="validate.valid"/>.
    </block>
  </form>
</vxml>
