- 7. @kazoocon Code Contributions: KazooCore CallFlow Module: Custom Key/Value Store • Allows you to set arbitrary values that persist through a call, for later retrieval (e.g. Dynamic Callflows, Pivots, etc) • Can be used within the GUI Call Flow editor, or via Pivot • Very helpful for “Session data” (e.g. account number, account rep, Internal ID Info, etc) Dynamic Callflows • Ability to have call flow objects point to dynamic destinations, based on per- call callflow variables, instead of just static assignments • (e.g. Normally, a “user” callflow object would point to an individual, “John Smith” (actually, his internal user id). Now, the user callflow object can look for “dial_user” variable (channel variable), with a static fallback and “dial_user” is pre-set via Custom Key/Value Store module (or even via Pivot!)
