Adding Call Routing to a Call Flow


Step-by-step guide


Step 1:

Drag and drop the Routing icon onto the X-flow workspace


โ€‹Step 2:

Place the routing block into the desired place in your call flow

Step 3:

Double-click the block to open up the Routing Properties. Click on the Properties tab to name your Routing Block and give it a meaningful description

Creating the number list - Import via CSV

Step 1:

Select Number List tab

Step 2:

Select Download Template - This will provide a CSV file for you to add your numbers and apply your routing types

Decide on which routing types you require. Populate the template with all the numbers that require personalised routing and add the Routing Type. The Routing Type is the reference you give it for how it will be dealt with

The Routing Block also allows partial number upload where the wildcard * is represented. In the example below we have shown routing for all calls from a geographical location and identified all callers ringing on a mobile

We recommend you update your Business Processes and keep a local central list for each routing block which you diarise to review regularly. This will allow you to track additions and amendments to your call routing numbers. We have made it easy for you to download and save your lists for audit purposes

You can enter a maximum of 500 numbers per Block

Step 2:

Once you have populated the template, click Upload Numbers. This will open up a modal for the file upload process

Step 3:

Once uploaded the user will be shown a confirmation window of successful and any failed numbers. Click Save to confirm the successful routing upload

Any failures will not be uploaded, they can be shown in list form on the screen or downloaded. Should you wish to include these in the routing, the full list will need to be re-uploaded once the errors have been corrected

To add amended data you will have to re-upload the entire number list. All data will be removed and replaced with each upload

Step 4:

Once data has been uploaded the Number List tab will look like this:

The Summary will show how many numbers have been uploaded, it will also show how many unique Routing Types have been created

Clicking the View Number List button will open up a modal that looks like the following:

From this window, you can remove entries from the numbers list

Step 5:

Once the data is uploaded the routing types will automatically generate the Visible Outputs for the Routing Block. Tick the box next to the routing types you wish to appear as an output on the Routing Block via the Visible Outputs tab.

Click to Save. This will create your Routing Block with your selected outputs

This block now gives you the ability to tailor the routing for the numbers associated with each routing type
