How to configure the Dialogue Studio UCC plugin

    Warning If the plugin is used in one UCC service as both an identity plugin and prompt, make sure to have a unique plugin name and port number per type. UCCs using the same type, can share the same plugin name and port number.

    1. Configure as identity plugin:

      As a identity plugin Dialogue Studio will replace the complete IVRInteractive Voice Response (IVR) is a telephone application to take orders via telephone keypad or voice through a computer. By choosing menu options the caller receives information, without the intervention of a human operator, or will be forwarded to the appropriate Agent..

      <Plugin name="NodeRedPlugin" isIdentityPlugin="true" path="C:\Program Files\Anywhere365\Core\plugins\Wsp.Anywhere365.Ucc.NodeRedPlugin" file="Wsp.Anywhere365.Ucc.NodeRedPlugin​.dll"/>

    2. Configure as prompt:

      As a prompt you can assign the Dialogue Studio an option in your IVR.

      <Plugin name="NodeRedPrompt" isIdentityPlugin="false" path="C:\Program Files\Anywhere365\Core\plugins\Wsp.Anywhere365.Ucc.NodeRedPlugin" file="Wsp.Anywhere365.Ucc.NodeRedPlugin​.dll"/>

 

How to configure Dialogue Studio via UCC SharePoint dashboard

  3. Click Done on top of the window to save your changes.
  4. Click Deploy.
  5. Restart of the UCC is required.

Note We advise you to disable the Incoming conversation node in order to disable the flow in Dialogue Studio and not to add the No action node to the end of the flow. In this way you can re-activate the flow again at a later stage if needed.
