General Information and Tips

It is recommended to use phone numbers in international format in all Daktela modules, e.g. +447911123456 or +420777777777. This ensures that your calls, SMSs, chats and social media successfully match your CRM database entries and previous contact centre activities. It will also prevent any possible phone number compatibility issues.

If you need to bulk download recording from PBX, it can be done using FTPS. FTPS transfers data encrypted, unlike the regular FTP protocol which is transfering data in open form which can be easily captured, read and misused.

Warning

For the initial permission of FTPs access on your PBX, please contact our technical support. If your username is ftp , root or anonymous , FTPs access will not work.

Below can be found instructions of how to set some of normally used FTP clients.

Total Commander

  • configure FTP connection to PBX by standard procedure, only at item Encryption  choose Require explicit FTP over TLS

Working With Spreadsheets

Importing and Exporting When importing data into Daktela, the data such as phone numbers and dates needs to have the correct format in order to be imported without errors

Warning

For phone number imports, the cell format must be set to "text" . If another format is selected, errors may occur during upload or phone numbers may be clipped, especially if they begin with a 0.

Warning

Formatting of blank columns

If your import file contains blank columns, in some cases they a may return an error.

Call Pattern Syntax for Asterisk

Warning

If you want to use call patern in dialplan, it has to always start with character _ (underscore) .

X  matches any number from 0-9 scale Z  matches any number from 1-9 scale N  matches any number from 2-9 scale [1237-9]  matches any number or letter in the brackets, in this case these are the numbers (1,2,3,7,9) .  wildcard, matches one or more characters example: this pattern _[2-8]XXXXXXXX matches all numbers of 9 characters length and starting with number from 2-9 scale | is separating prefix from number (example: 9|NXXXXXX would match if someone dial "95551234" but to canals will pass only "5551234") For more detailed informations about asterisk dialplan is possible to use Asterisk documentation.

Basic HTML Tags

HTML formatting works on principle of so-called tags using which is possible to determine text formattting, add a hypertext link to text or image, etc. Example of few basic tags:
 line break (use this tag only at the end of the line, without using this tag will be text without line break) - unpaired tag  bold font - paired tag, ending with tag   italics - paired tag, ending with tag   underlined font - paired tag, ending with tag   crossed out font - paired tag, ending with tag 

 horizontal line - unpaired tag http://www.youraddress.com"**> displayed text  adding a link to website For example following signature: Agent 1 Daktela - all-in-one contact center http://www.daktela.com/ http://www.voipobchod.cz/shop/ Contact: +420-226211245 can be defined like this:

<b>Agent 1</b><br />
Daktela - all-in-one contact center
<a href="http://www.daktela.com/">http://www.daktela.com/</a>
<a href="http://www.voipobchod.cz/shop/">http://www.voipobchod.cz/shop/</a>

Regular Expression Syntax Basics

A brief introduction to syntax of regular expressions: Metacharacters  - characters with special meaning

Character Meaning
( ) groups the characters inside to one group
^ beginning of the string or beginning of the line
$ end of the string or end of the line
[ ] groups the characters class
. any one character (except new line character \n)
{ } specify the repeat range of the previous symbol
** following character is not metacharacter of regex but regular character
| OR - dividing possible variants

Quantifiers  - with their help is possible to specify number of repetitions of certain character or group of characters

Quantifier Meaning
* 0 or more occurrences of previous character
+ 1 or more occurrences of previous character
? 0 or 1 occurrence of previous character
{ NUMBER } occurrence of previous character equals NUMBER in brackets
{ MIN, } occurrence of previous character at least MIN times
{ MIN, MAX } occurrence of previous character at least MIN times and most MAX times

Examples: /^\d+$/ - Only number which had at least 1 digit /^(00420|+420)?[2-9]{9}$/ - Phone number in the format: 00420[2-9]XXXXXXXX / +420[2-9]XXXXXXXX / [2-9]XXXXXXXX /^(([\p{Lu}])([\p{Ll}]+))$/ - Name: First capital letter follow unlimited small letters. /^([\w-]+(?:.[\w-]+))@((?:[\w-]+.)\w[\w-]{0,66}).([a-z]{2,6}(?:.[a-z]{2})?)$/ -Email address without special symbols (allow only ._-) Examples of creation of simpler regular expressions can be found here: https://medium.com/factory-mind/regex-tutorial-a-simple-cheatsheet-by-examples-649dc1c3f285

Warning

Templating Language

Use the templating language to set up:

Warning

Use simple quotation marks in field path {{statuses['name']}}. Without them {{statuses[name]}} name will be treated as a value.

Format:

  • {{string}}, {{integer}}, {{array}}, {{array[1]}}, [{{fn.implode(', ', array)}}], {{object.name}}, {{object.data[0]}}, {{object['string']}}, {{object[string]}}, {{fn.strtoupper(object[string])}}, {{fn.date('H:i:s')}} When using data:

  • ['string' => 'stringValue', 'integer' => 1, 'array' => [1, 2], 'object' => ['name' => 'objectName', 'data' => ['objectData'], 'string' => 'success', 'stringValue' => 'success']] Result:

  • stringValue, 1, , 2, [1, 2], objectName, objectData, success, success, SUCCESS, '.date('H:i:s') Supported functions:

  • Math

  • round, rand, pow, floor, abs

  • Date time

  • time, date, gmdate, strtotime, strtodate

  • Array

  • explode, implode, array_column, array_push, array_merge

  • String

  • trim, strlen, substr, strpos, strstr, sprintf, ucfirst, ucwords, strtoupper, strtolower, strip_tags, str_replace, urlencode, rawurlencode

Arithmetic Operators

Arithmetic operators are used with numeric values to perform common arithmetical operations, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Scope data: ["done" => 9, "total" => 100, "float" => "5.4" ]

  • '{{1 + 2}}' -> '3'
  • '{{1 + 2 * 3}}' -> '7'
  • '{{(1 + 2) * 3}}' -> '9'
  • '{{(1.2 + 2,4) * float}}' -> '19.44'
  • '{{fn.round((done / total)*100, 2)}} %' -> '9 %'

Conditions

Syntax allow use inline condition with using logical and comparison operators. Scope data: ["success" => true, "ok" => "ok", "notOk" => "not ok" ]

  • '{{(success) ? ok : notOk)}}' -> 'ok'
  • '{{(! success) ? ok : notOk)}}' -> 'not ok'
  • '{{1 && (0 || success) ? ok : notOk)}}' -> 'ok'
  • '{{1 > 0 && 1 < 1 ? ok : notOk)}}' -> 'not ok'

Examples: Working with text: Data: {"name":"John Smith"}

example original output
whole string {{name}} John Smith
strtoupper {{fn.strtoupper(name)}} JOHN SMITH
char position 0 {{name[0]}} J
string in template {{fn.ucwords('good day')}} Good Day
url encode {{fn.urlencode(name)}} John+Smith

Working with time: Data: {"strtotimeValue":"yesterday"}

example original output
current time {{fn.date('Y-m-d H:i:s')}} 2020-01-27 17:01:31
current timestamp {{fn.time()}} 1580140891
strtotime {{fn.strtotime(strtotimeValue)}} 1579993200
time from string {{fn.strtodate('yesterday')}} 2020-01-26 00:00:00
time from string {{fn.strtodate('yesterday', 'Y-m-d')}} 2020-01-26

Working with numbers: Data: {"numberA":"1.4"}

example original output
rounding {{fn.round(1.5)}} 2
rounding variable {{fn.round(numberA)}} 1
generate random number {{fn.rand(0, 100)}} 42

Working with fields: Data: {"map":{"statusesPK":"name"},"displayName":"title","values":[1,2,3],"forExplode":"hi,hello","statuses":[{"name":"lead","title":"Lead"},{"name":"not_exist","title":"Doesn't exist"}]}

example original output
list entire number field {{fn.implode(', ', values)}} 1, 2, 3, 4
specific value from field {{values[0]}} 1
list entire status field {{fn.implode(', ', fn.array_column(statuses, 'title'))}} Lead, Doesn't exist
split text into field, load second value {{fn.explode(',', forExplode)[1]}} hello
title of first status in field {{statuses[0]['title']}} Lead
use variable in field {{statuses[1][displayName]}} Doesn't exist
use variable in field {{statuses[1][map.statusesPK]}} not_exist
