Call Telemetry for Cisco

Appearance

Configuring Missed Call Notification and Alerts ​

Missed Call Notifications monitors extensions associated to a user within Cisco Callmanager, and notifies users if they miss a call on any lines, even shared lines associated with their CCM End User Associated devices.

Feature Overview ​

  • Missed Call detection for User's Cisco IP Phones and Cisco Jabber
  • Monitored all lines associated with a Cisco User
  • Email and Webex Teams Notifications with one click callback or message back buttons
  • Customizable Email and Webex Body Text and Subjects
  • Automatic User Synchronization with your Cisco Callmanager User Directory
  • Shared line support
  • Daily Admin Report of Missed Call Activities
  • Number Prefixing for Callbacks

Shared line support ​

If the called line is a shared line, the Caller ID Name is found from the End User associations within Cisco Callmanager. When matched as a shared line, it will be labeled as a shared line caller in the alert. All users associated with the shared line notification will receive alerts.

Feature Requirements for Missed Call Alerts ​

Configure Global Missed Call Notifications Settings ​

You can customize several options within the Settings page:

  • Change Email Subject
  • Change HTML and Webex Body Text to the body of the email.
  • Add Markdown text formatting to the body text of the message.
  • Add a maximum length to apply prefix. Depending your dialplan, some calls already have area codes prefixed.
  • Add Number Prefix for easier callback. You might have a 7 digit, or 10 digit dialplan area that needs prefixing of the local country code.

You can configure these settings on the Missed Call Alerts tab in the Call Telemetry Settings page, shown below.

Settings for Missed Call Alerts

Automatic End User Proivisioning Toggle ​

Automation User Syncrhonization will enable alerting on new users and their devices when new users are detected from Cisco Callmanager during AXL Synchronization. It can automatically add and activate all their associated extensions to be monitored. There is an option to auto enable Email Alerts, and one to auto enable Webex Teams notifications.

Daily Report Activities ​

You can enable daily reports to be sent to administrator users. This will send stats for the previous day to confirm daily operations.

Configure Users for Missed Calls ​

You must enable users for missed call alerts to receive notifications. You can do this by importing users from Cisco Callmanager, or enabling automatic user synchronization.

Automatic User Synchronization ​

When automatic user synchronization with Cisco Callmanager, users are added and deleted are automatically based on their status in the directory.

To enable User Synchronization:

  • Enable the "Automatically Sync all CUCM End Users Nightly" on the Call Telemetry Callmanager Settings page.

If you do not see any end users in your system, click the Sync Users button. This will attempt a full resynchronization of all users from Cisco Callmanager.

Manual User Import ​

You can import users manually on that page, in case you do not want to enable automatic sync, or if a user does not show up in the list.

You can enable this feature by doing the following:

  • Go to Call Telemetry Settings -> Webex Teams tab
  • Choose the toggle for "Send via Cloud Connected Call Telemetry Bot" or enter your own bot token.
  • Enter a Webex address for alerts and enable the system alerts option.
  • Use the "Test" button to verify

Verifing Missed Call Alerts ​

Make a call to a phone, and let it ring, but do not answer. You should receive an email or Webex alert within a 2 minutes. It takes a moment for CDR to be generated, and processed, and for the email to arrive.

Below are examples of what the user will see when they receive a missed call alert.

Receiving a Missed Call Alert from Email ​

Users receive detailed missed call alerts via email, providing caller information along with configurable action buttons. They can call back or message the caller directly from the email using Webex App.
