Conversation direction detection using internal domain and number patterns
- Kiss, Mate
Overview
This feature allows proper call direction detection for recordings. It is essential when call direction is used in recording rules. By using a simple pattern (regular expression), the system is able to distinguish internal and external participants and set the call direction properly.
The following call directions are available:
| Call Direction | Description |
|---|---|
| Internal | Both participants are a match for the defined pattern |
| External | Neither of the participants is a match for the defined pattern |
| Incoming | Only the called party is a match for the defined pattern |
| Outgoing | Only the caller party is a match for the defined pattern |
Internal Domain, Numbers Pattern Configuration
The configuration is available for multiple services. Refer to the corresponding configuration guide for more information.
In multi-tenant environments, if an internal pattern regular expression is defined in both the environment and in a service configuration, the pattern specified in the environment configuration is used to determine the internal values, not the pattern defined in the service configuration.
All settings should contain the same pattern. Otherwise, it can lead to missing recorded conversations when "Recorded Directions" condition is set as something different than "all".
