Customer Announcements

Announcements are recorded in the Intelligent Services Platform or ISP, which belongs to TELUS. You dial into the TELUS ISP to record your announcements using the Toll Free number (1-877-807-0007). Recording an announcement requires that you have a 5 digit Announcement ID and an 8 digit PIN set up in advance. The Announcement ID and PIN are specified in the
The Announcements can be up to 4 minutes in length. The same announcement can be used across multiple Toll Free numbers, if required, without the need to re-record the announcement for each Toll Free number. For example, with a shared Call Prompter announcement, each Toll Free number using the same shared announcement can be set up with different terminations even though the same announcement is used across multiple Toll Free numbers. With a shared announcement, if you need to change it, the announcement may be accessed via any of the Toll Free numbers that are sharing the announcement.
You can access the Customer Announcement page (in VIEW mode) by clicking the Customer Announcement link in the Toll Free menu navigational bar, or clicking an Announcement pushpin icon

Removing a Courtesy Response

Removing a feature means that you are actually replacing that feature with another feature or Terminating Number. You can replace a feature by either adding a new feature and its details or by adding an existing feature. For example, when removing a Courtesy Response feature, you can select any feature from the “Select New Node” section at the top of the Select Feature or Termination drop down list. Then you can click the Save/New button to provide the details of the new feature. Alternately, you can select an existing feature or Terminating Number from the “Select existing Node” section at the bottom of the Select Feature or Termination drop down list.
Then you can click the Save/Add button to add the existing feature or Terminating Number.

Note
A Courtesy Response feature provisioned using the Select Feature or Termination drop down list in another feature’s page is a child to that feature and will appear below it in the Toll Free Service Tree. The actual steps to removing the Courtesy Response feature are the same no matter what the location of the feature on the Toll Free Service Tree. If a feature is a child, you have to navigate to the feature’s parent (the folder above it) and remove it from there. Simply put, you have to remove a feature from the Select Feature or Termination drop down list in which you entered it in the first place.
The instructions below assume that the Courtesy Response that you are removing was provisioned using the Select Feature or Termination drop down list on the Toll Free Plan Order page. In other words, the Courtesy Response feature is the first feature on the Toll Free Service Tree.

To remove a Courtesy Response feature:

  1. Navigate to the View Toll Free Service page.
    • Access the View Toll Free Service from the Service List.

  2. Click the Modify button at the top of the page.

  3. Click on the Remarks tab to enter a remark about the change you are making.
    • Click on Save, and then use the Order List tab to go back to the Toll Free Plan Order page.

  4. On the Toll Free Service Tree, click on the folder for the parent feature of the Courtesy Response you are trying to remove (this would be the folder above the Courtesy Response folder). If it is the first feature in the Toll Free Service Tree, then click on the Primary plan folder.

  5. From the Select Feature or Termination drop down list, select a new or existing feature or Terminating Number.
    • Click Save – to add an existing Terminating Number or feature or to create a new feature.

  6. Click on the Primary plan folder in the Toll Free Service tree.

  7. Select Immediate, or enter a future Due Date/Time for your order.

  8. Click on the Provision button.
    • A Reminder page appears with a message to complete the US SMS record for this customer. This is a message for the TELUS provisioners and can be ignored.
    – Click on “YES”.
    • The Toll Free Orders List page appears displaying a record of the service.

  9. Use the refresh button to ensure the order goes to a Completed status.

Note
A plan must always have at least one answering location (i.e. a Terminating Number or a courtesy response). If you have removed a feature that contains the only answering location of a service, you will not be able to provision the order. You will need to define this prior to provisioning your order.
Note
Once you remove a particular feature and click on the Provision button, that feature will no longer be listed under the section called Select Existing Node in the Select Feature or Termination drop down list. If you wish to re-use the feature for the same service in another part of the Toll Free Service Tree, make sure you do this before you provision your order or you will have to re- create the feature from scratch.

Managing Enroute Announcements

The Enroute Announcement feature allows you to insert an announcement between two features. In other words, it routes calls to a customized recorded announcement before routing them to a designated answering location.
The Enroute Announcement feature is like a courtesy response feature that then routes callers to another feature or terminating number.

About the Enroute Announcement Screen:

Before you provision Enroute Announcement, it might be helpful to read this section so that you understand the layout of the Enroute Announcement page.

  • Feature Name: The name of the feature. Defaults to EA001 – this means EA (Enroute Announcement), 001 – the first appearance of this feature. Rename the feature to something meaningful to you. It will help you better understand the routing of this service as well as help to identify the feature in the event you wish to re-use this node.

  • Announcement: Select the announcement you want to use from the drop down list. This is a list of all of your available Announcements.

  • Remarks : Anytime that a change to the service is issued you should enter a remark. Enter remark in format- YYYY/MM/DD Your Name, brief remark of what has been done on order.
    Note Anywhere there is a Remarks tab; it takes you to a central field, so no need to enter Remarks on every screen. Once per order is sufficient.

  • Interrupt : Select this option if you wish the caller to be able to press a digit on the keypad to interrupt the Enroute Announcement and be directed to the next Terminating Number or feature in the call path.

  • Description : This field is used to enter a brief description regarding what is contained in the recorded message. The field can contain up to 40 characters. This is not a mandatory field, and can be left blank if desired.

  • Next Feature or Termination : The Terminating Number or feature to which a call will be routed after the Enroute Announcement message.

Managing Call Prompter

The Call Prompter Routing feature is very similar to the Database Routing feature since it routes calls based on the digits that callers enter. The difference between Call Prompter and Database Routing is that Call Prompter only allows callers to select from a menu (digits 0 to 9) whereas Database Routing allows callers to enter up to 24 digits that can represent account numbers, social insurance numbers, etc.
The Call Prompter feature can be anywhere in the call flow which means any feature can come before it and any feature can come after it.

About the Call Prompter Page:

Before you provision a Call Prompter feature, it might be helpful to read this section so that you understand the layout of the Call Prompter page.

  • Feature Name : The name of the feature. Defaults to CP001 – this means CP (Call Prompter), 001 – the first appearance of this feature. Rename the feature to something meaningful to you. It will help you better understand the routing of this service as well as help to identify the feature in the event you wish to re-use this node.

  • Announcement : Select the announcement you want to use from the drop down list. This is a list of all of your available Announcements.

  • Default Key:
    – Maximum # of Retries (97) – Default is set at 2. To change the number of retries, go to the Customer Announcement screen to make the change. Can be set from 0 to 9 tries. The number of retries pertains to the number of times a caller can make an invalid selection before the call is routed somewhere else.

    – Maximum # of Retries (97) – Default is set at 2. To change the number of retries, go to the Customer Announcement screen to make the change. Can be set from 0 to 9 tries. The number of retries pertains to the number of times a caller can make an invalid selection before the call is routed somewhere else.
    – Timeout (98) – Default is set at 2 (first digit must be entered within 2 seconds). To change the number of seconds before the call times out, go to the Customer Announcement screen to make the change. Can be set from 0 to 9 seconds. If Timeout condition is not defined, and the caller doesn’t enter a selection within 2 seconds the call gets routed to a message: “Sorry we did not receive your response”. This message plays once in English then again in French. The message is played 3 times and if still no selection made, then the call routes to whatever is defined in the Default Next field.
    – Invalid Digit (99) – Number of times you can try to enter a digit is defined in the Maximum # of Retries field on the Customer Announcement screen. Default is set at 2. Can be set from 0 to 9 tries. If an invalid digit is entered, the call gets routed to a message: “Sorry that entry is invalid”. The message plays once in English then again in French. If an invalid digit is entered more than twice, the call routes to whatever is defined in the Default Next field.

  • Key Number: The digits that callers enter so that they may be routed accordingly. Selection choices are 0 – 9, 97, 98, 99, # and . See Default field descriptions above for more information on 97, 98 & 99 selections.

  • Name Menu Choice: A description of each key number.

  • Select Feature of Termination: The feature or termination number to which callers will be routed upon selecting a digit.

Removing a Call Prompter

Removing a feature means that you are actually replacing that feature with another feature or Terminating Number. You can replace a feature by either adding a new feature and its details or by adding an existing feature. For example, when removing a Call Prompter feature, you can select any feature from the “Select New Node” section at the top of the Select Feature or Termination drop down list. Then you can click the Save button to provide the details of the new feature. Alternately, you can select an existing feature or Terminating Number from the “Select existing Node” section at the bottom of the Select Feature or Termination drop down list. Then you can click the Save button to add the existing feature or Terminating Number.

Note
A Call Prompter feature provisioned using the Select Feature or Termination drop down list in another feature’s page is a child to that feature and will appear below it in the Toll Free Service Tree. The actual steps to removing the Call Prompter feature are the same no matter what the location of the feature on the Toll Free Service Tree. If a feature is a child, you have to navigate to the feature’s parent (the folder above it) and remove it from there. Simply put, you have to remove a feature from the Select Feature or Termination drop down list in which you entered it in the first place.
The instructions below assume that the Call Prompter that you are removing was provisioned using the Select Feature or Termination drop down list on the Toll Free Plan Order page. In other words, the Call Prompter feature is the first feature on the Toll Free Service Tree.

To remove a Call Prompter feature:

  1. Navigate to the View Toll Free Service page.
    • Access the View Toll Free Service from the Service List.

  2. Click the Modify button at the top of the page.

  3. Click on the Remarks tab to enter a remark about the change you are making.
    • Click on Save, and then use the Order List to go back to the Toll Free Plan Order page.

  4. On the Toll Free Service Tree, click on the folder for the parent feature of the Call Prompter you are trying to remove (this would be the folder above the Call Prompter folder). If it is the first feature in the Toll Free Service Tree, then click on the Primary plan folder.

  5. From the Select Feature or Termination drop down list, select a new or existing feature or Terminating Number.

  6. Click on the Primary plan folder in the Toll Free Service tree.

  7. Select Immediate, or enter a future Due Date/Time for your order.

  8. Click on the Provision button.
    • A Reminder page appears with a message to complete the US SMS record for this customer. This is a message for the TELUS provisioners and can be ignored.
    – Click on the YES button.
    • The Toll Free Orders List page appears displaying a record of the service.

  9. Use the refresh button to ensure the order goes to a Completed status.

Note
A plan must always have at least one answering location (i.e. a Terminating Number or a courtesy response). If you have removed a feature that contains the only answering location of a service, you will not be able to provision the order. You will need to define this prior to provisioning your order.
Note
Once you remove a particular feature and click on the Provision button, that feature will no longer be listed under the section called Select Existing Node in the Select Feature or Termination drop down list. If you wish to re-use the feature for the same service in another part of the Toll Free Service Tree, make sure you do this before you provision your order or you will have to re- create the feature from scratch.
