Telephony Idea - Call to register using KooKoo

Use Case:
Customers can call to register with a website. Websites publish a phone number which users can call to register.

Solution:
1.Publish phone number for the website.
2.When the customer calls the KooKoo number, KooKoo passes the caller id in the "cid" parameter.
3.Check if it is a first time caller. If yes, generate a random password and send it as an SMS to the user.
4.User can immediately login and change his settings like updating password, adding email id etc.

Advantages:

Automatic verification of users happens as they provide the phone number.

Faster registration as users just make a call rather than going through captchas, registration forms etc

Disadvantages:

Obviously, as this is a new process there can be an unexpected loophole. This is just an idea and still has to be validated.

Who is it useful for:
Almost all eCommerce sites who need a registration for order tracking etc or for one time registrations, this might be a better option as it is faster.

First Post

In this blog, I will be talking about my experiences in trying to build a cloud telephony platform , KooKoo . Along the way I will also be talking about different design choices I made, good programming practices and the IVR domain in general. For technoratti: NNFJW8EW86C3

Integrating Arborjs with Angular to create a live calls dashboard

Arborjs is a cool graph visualization library. Angular is one of the best JavaScript frameworks and we have been using Angular in a lot of our front end development. When you handle millions of calls, proper visualization becomes very important. Without proper visualization, you can get lost in the mountains of data. So we spend a lot of time to come up with good visualizations to represent the data. Since we loved the cool way in which Arbor represented graph data, we could not wait to hook it up with Angular. Because of Angular's two way data binding, when you hook up Angularjs with Arbor.js you can get a dynamically updated visualization of graph data with cool animations. To give back to the community, we have put up the code online at Github . Basically we have created an Angularjs directive for Arborjs. Please feel free to fork the code and add extensions and use it for your own visualizations. The code is self explanatory with comments inline. Best way to get s

Google's approach to business communication

Google has been making silent moves in the business communication space. Google has mostly lost the instant messaging wars. But it does not want to lose the business communication war. WhatsApp, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook have been making their own moves to enable businesses to reach their customers through their channels. Its all about who has control over the communication channels. Especially communication which leads to business. That's where the money is.

And they have started making the moves. WhatsApp business allows small businesses to conduct their transactions on WhatsApp. FB and Instagram have long supported small businesses to manage their business on their channels. Apple has also made some nice moves with Apple business chat. They have integrated a whole shopping expe
