What is a Caller's Reputation Score?

Reputation Score is a scale from 0-100 from TrueSpam that the calling number is unwanted - Robocall, Telemarketer, or other spam.

Configuring TrueSpam Integration with Cisco Callmanager

This guide will walk you through the steps to enable TrueSpam on your Call Telemetry Appliance.

Step 1 - Create TrueSpam App

From Policy Menu, Apps create an instance of TrueSpam for reputation analysis.

Configure TrueSpam App

Step 2 - Enter API Details

Enter your API keys, and hostname from your provisioning email.

Step 3 - Set Caller ID Score Thresholds and Actions

In the TrueSpam App, set the score thresholds and actions you would like to take based on the score.

Call Score Thresholds

TrueSpam returns a caller ID score 0 - 100 ( chance of being a Robocall or Spam )

Score Ranges:

• 0-39 = Low
• 40-79 = Medium
• 80-10 = High

Actions

You can take the following actions based on the score:

• Block - Drops caller
• Rename - Renames Caller ID to indicate spam risk.
• Redirect to an extension or voicemail

You do not have to use all actions, you can just enable the ones you would like. Set the threshold slider to the score you would like to take action on.

Step 4 - Optional - Set your Caller ID Exclusions

If you have any numbers to exclude from scanning you can enter them in CSV form here.

TIP

Set the minimum digits to scan to your local dial-plan. This minimizes junk queries to the TrueSpam API.
