Slack Button for Cloud telephony-KooKoo Loves Slack

Slack recently released their Slack Button interface to the public. This allows third party applications to integrate into Slack in a clean fashion.

As you know, KooKoo already has a Slack integration . If you read the blog, you will see that there are almost 30 lines detailing how to manually configure KooKoo to work together with Slack. All that is now gone with the new Slack Button. And since at Ozonetel, we pride on our innovative capabilities, we are proud to be the first Indian company to come out with the Slack button integration.

In fact we have now gone a step further and enabled much more than conferencing. You can now send SMS and voice messages to your channel users right from Slack. Just use the

1. /sms command to send an SMS and
2. /playtext command to send a voice message.
3. You can also start a conference using the /conf command.
Enable voice and SMS communication on Slack channels.

This is right now live in India on the KooKoo site. If you want this to be enabled for your country,please mail us at sales@ozonetel.com.

You just need two things:

1. Slack Account.
2. KooKoo account.(Register)

Steps to enable KooKoo conferencing from Slack:
1. Click on Add to Slack button at http://www.kookoo.in/index.php/slack
2. Start conference in Slack channel using /conf or send SMS using /sms or send a voice message using /playtext

Thats it. Personally, I dont think there can be a cleaner integration :)

Details on Conference Use Case:

Pitch:

Team is discussing on slack. The chat is becoming too verbose, you want to get on a call and sort it out.

Just do /conf @user1 @user2

Users are connected in a conference and can discuss.

Assumptions: users have added their phone numbers in their profile.

you can also include arbitrary phone numbers /conference @user1 09888766765 etc.

Cloud Telephony-History and state of the art

Well, its been 11 years since Twilio launched their voice API in November 2008. I would say that was a major turning point in the cloud telephony industry. Before that, for people to build telephony applications, you either had to depend on proprietary platforms like Avaya dialog designer or build on arcane technologies like VXML which again was supported at varying degrees by the incumbents. Enter Twilio with their voice API and the industry changed for the better. Since it's been almost 11 years now I thought now might be a good time to do a comprehensive review of the cloud telephony industry as a whole in general and in India in particular. The Beginning Twilio was undoubtedly the startup which ushered in the era of cloud telephony. They started in November 2008. At that time in India, we at Ozonetel had launched a hosted VXML platform. There were no takers. After all who coded in VXML :) So when Twilio launched and we saw them take off, we immediately realized tha...

Telugu ASR speech data collection

Image Source: IIIT-H Developing an indigenous ASR for Indian languages has been a goal for us since a long time. In that regard we have been experimenting a lot, trying out various neural network architectures. While doing these experiments we found that there was no good dataset for Indian languages. While discussing with IIIT professors we got to know that the government of India was also exploring options to generate a good dataset. We immediately offered our help and our platform for this endeavor. So, as a starting step we have come up with a few campaigns to encourage users to donate speech data. We wanted to make it fun, so our first few campaigns are along the lines of JAMs(Just a Minute speech topics) etc. A topic will be provided and you need to speak for a minute on that topic. We have started this campaign for college students to start with. Of course anyone can participate and contribute their data. The more the merrier :) We will adding a lot more innovative ways ut...

Google business messages and chat agents-A match made in heaven

Google has launched Google business messages without much fanfare. It's just a small button that pops up when someone searches for your business on Google. But from the conversation industry perspective this is HUGE . Do you know that the small call button drives millions of calls i n a year for pizza joints and other retailers in the US. Businesses spend more than a trillion dollars supporting billions of customer service calls each year. Now imagine how many chat conversations the "Message" button can drive. Think of how customers interact with business. 1. Search on Google. 2. Click on web site link. 3. Web site shows chat pop up and tries to force the user to chat.(Annoying. I know :)) 4. User clicks on chat and starts conversing with a bot or an agent. This flow can now be completely changed. The new flow can be: 1. Search on Google. 2. User clicks on Message and starts conversing with a bot or an agent. What if you could design a customer experience that helps...
