Schedule - Task Scheduler

Using this sample script, you can simply develop and automate your interactive quiz competitions. The IVR system will act as an automated time scheduler and ensures completion of the assigned tasks within the specified time limit. The scheduler works for both inbound and outbound phone services. On deployment, the system picks up the call automatically on encountering a call, starts the session timer and stops after the allotted time period.

Download the evaluation version of Xtend IVR and install the telephony application in your system. Run the sample script from the Script Editor. Click here to refer the code.

The automated attendant will work as given below:

• Starting and ending time is specified at the beginning of the script
• IVR waits for the service to start
• When start time matches with the system time, IVR performs the task and stops automatically when the end time is met with
• Here, the QUIZ context is demonstarted as an example. IVR begins the quiz contest at assigned start time i.e., 4.00 PM and terminates the task after the time gets expired i.e., 5.00 PM
