VoiceXML Gateway Perl Interface for retry

Question:

i am using the perl interface to the voicent gateway to setup calls. i need to be able to set hours of the day that it acceptable to place calls and set how many time and at what interval it retries failed calls.

Answer:

The responsibility of when to call and when to cancel call is the best rest on the application not the gateway. For example, Voicent BroadcastByPhone has a blocked time control, which you can specify the time not to make outbound calls.

For retry, you can control it with your application. Each call request sent to the gateway contains parameters for max number of retries, and the time delay for next retry. Please check the online reference of call request handler for details.
