Kick off phone call by email

I am looking at your Broadcase by Phone product for use of the Call till Confirm feature. I would like to use it to Call till Confirm when an email is received. is that something that is possible? I see you can kick it off manually but can you automatically setup to send when an email is received?

Yes. There is an open source project called Email to phone, which does exactly that. However, it does not use the call-till-confirm feature. You may need to change the email to phone software to launch BroadcastbyPhone program instead of making a single call.

Thanks for contacting us. Please see answers below. You could also download the auto dialer software and give it a try. There is no time limit.

Run multiple outbound campaigns via an auto-dialler

Yes. To BroadcastByPhone auto dialer program, a campaign is simply a Windows file (.voc). You can run multiple campaigns by launching multiple instances of the autodialer program. You can also specify how many lines you want to use for a particular campaign.

Have the ability to record conversations between the agent and the customer

Yes, if the phone call is transferred to an agent’s computer, which runs Voicent RemoteAgent software. The RemoteAgent program is used for agent to login, see the popup screen, etc. Agent can click a button to record a conversation. Or you can set the “force recording” option on Voicent gateway to force recording for all calls that transfer to agents.

Not in the current release. But this feature will be added to future releases.

Have the ability to schedule future calls should a line be busy.

Set reminder call time during import

I’m trying to change the setting in the Reminder Call time section to “Before appointment Start”. I want this option as the default when importing new appointments into the application. Currently the default is set to “At this time” which is incorrect. Can you please guide me to where I need to go to update this setting?

Here is what you can do with the import file. The following info is also in the program Help file.

Call Time: The time for the reminder call. The format is the same as specified in Start Time. If this field is empty, no reminder call will be made. If this field is “now”, the call time is right now. This is the same as check the Call Now radio button in the New Appointment dialog. If the field is “ask”, during importing, a dialog will pop up for the user to specify call time.

If the field is set to “ask” during import and I have 100 patients on the list will the user be asked 100 times or just once?

Only once.
