API and Webhook

1. Enable Custom Mapping in API Dialplan for All Customers by Default

For: Users/Admin/Supervisor

What's New?

The Custom Mapping feature in API Dialplan is now enabled by default for all customers. Previously, this feature had to be enabled manually from the backend after a request and CMC approval. With this update, both new and existing customers will automatically have access to Custom Mapping without requiring any manual intervention.

This change ensures that customers can integrate their existing API formats with the platform without needing backend configuration changes. Existing configurations will continue to function as expected, ensuring a seamless transition.

What are the benefits?

  • Improved Customer Experience: Customers can use Custom Mapping without raising manual requests.
  • Faster Onboarding: New customers can immediately configure API Dialplan using their existing API formats.
  • Reduced Operational Overhead: Eliminates the need for backend intervention and CMC approvals.
  • Seamless Integration: Customers can continue using their legacy or proprietary API formats without modifying their systems.

How to use?

  1. Configure API Dialplan: Set up the API Dialplan as per the call routing requirement.
  2. Use Existing API Format: Send API responses in your existing or preferred JSON format.
  1. Define Custom Mapping: Map your API response fields to the required Smartflo routing parameters (such as agent, extension, mobile number, IVR, queue, etc.).
  1. Call Routing Execution: Once the mapping is configured, Smartflo will automatically interpret the mapped fields and route the call accordingly.

3. Add Campaign Name/ID in Dialplan Response Body for Broadcast Segmentation

For: Users/Admin/Supervisor

What's New?

The API Dialplan response has been enhanced to include broadcast campaign details for calls initiated through broadcast workflows. Two new fields—broadcast_campaign_name and broadcast_campaign_id—are now available in the API response under a new object called broadcast_campaign_details.

This enhancement enables customers to identify the specific broadcast campaign responsible for triggering a call directly from the dialplan response.

Updated Response Example:

{
  "uuid": "$uuid",
  "call_id": "$call_id",
  "call_to_number": "$call_to_number",
  "caller_id_number": "$caller_id_number",
  "start_stamp": "$start_stamp",
  "billing_circle": "$billing_circle",
  "broadcast_campaign_details": {
    "broadcast_campaign_name": "$broadcast_campaign_name",
    "broadcast_campaign_id": "$broadcast_campaign_id"
  }
}

What are the benefits?

  • Campaign-Level Visibility: Easily identify which broadcast campaign triggered a particular call.
  • Improved Workflow Automation: Enables customers to apply accurate segmentation and determine the next action in their workflows.
  • Better Integration Support: Helps customers map broadcast campaigns directly within their API dialplan integrations.
  • No Impact on Existing Logic: The enhancement is additive and does not affect existing dialplan functionality or integrations.

How to use?

  1. Trigger Broadcast Campaign Calls: When a call is initiated through a broadcast campaign, the dialplan API response will now include campaign details.
  2. Read Campaign Information from the Response: Extract broadcast_campaign_name and broadcast_campaign_id from the broadcast_campaign_details object.
  3. Apply Segmentation or Workflow Logic: Use the campaign details to determine the appropriate routing, segmentation, or next step in your workflow.

4. Correct API Log URL to Reflect Actual Request URL on TCL and Infocomm Platforms

For: Users/Admin/Supervisor

What's New?

API logs on the TCL and Infocomm platforms have been enhanced to display the exact URL used by customers to initiate API requests. Previously, when customers triggered APIs using the AWS endpoint URL, the API logs displayed the internal service endpoint instead of the original request URL.

With this update, the API logs will now capture and display the same URL that the customer used in the request, ensuring better visibility and traceability.

Example:

  • URL used by customer: https://api.acefone.in/v1/click_to_call_support
  • Previously shown in API logs: https://api.acefone.in/v1/c2c_api
  • Now shown in API logs: The actual AWS URL used by the customer

What are the benefits?

  • Improved Debugging: Support and customers can easily verify which endpoint was used during API calls.
  • Better Transparency: API logs will accurately reflect the customer’s request.
  • Faster Troubleshooting: Reduces confusion when diagnosing integration or routing issues.
  • Accurate Tracking: Ensures logs represent the true request flow instead of internal routing URLs.

How to use?

  1. Initiate an API Request: Use the AWS API endpoint or any supported endpoint to trigger the request.
  2. Check API Logs: Navigate to the API Logs section on the platform.
  3. Verify the Request URL: The logs will now display the exact URL used in the API request, instead of the internal API endpoint.

5. Optimize API Logging by Excluding Internal Integration Endpoints Types

For: Users/Admin/Supervisor

What's New?

Internal integration APIs used for system-to-system communication will no longer be logged or displayed on the API Logs page. Previously, the API Logs interface captured all API calls, including internal integration APIs that are not directly used by customers.

With this update, the API Logs page will only display customer-facing APIs, while internal integration APIs will be excluded from this logging pipeline. Logging for these internal APIs will instead be handled separately by the Integration Team for short-term troubleshooting when required.

What are the benefits?

  • Cleaner API Logs Interface: Customers and support teams will only see relevant customer-facing APIs.
  • Reduced Log Volume: Eliminates unnecessary logging of internal system APIs, optimizing storage usage.
  • Improved Security Alignment: Prevents internal integration endpoints from appearing in customer-accessible logs.
  • Better Troubleshooting Efficiency: Makes it easier to identify and analyze customer API requests without internal system noise.
  • Operational Optimization: Reduces overhead associated with maintaining and storing excessive logs.

How to use?

  1. View API Logs: Navigate to the API Logs page as usual.
  2. Monitor Customer APIs: The logs will now display only customer-facing API requests relevant for monitoring and troubleshooting.
  3. Internal API Debugging (If Required): Internal integration API logs will be managed separately by the Integration Team for short-term troubleshooting and will not appear in the customer-facing API Logs interface.

Bug Fixes 🐞

  1. Customer number passed with 14 digits in C2C webhook logs
    The issue has been resolved. The inconsistency between the call_to_number value in the webhook payload and the corresponding value in the CDR has been corrected. The system now ensures that the customer number format remains consistent across both webhook logs and CDR records, preventing the earlier discrepancy where the number appeared with 14 digits in the webhook.
  2. Existing CDP List leads will be modified to use pagination / batch-based processing
    The issue occurred due to a large volume of data being processed in a single request, which exceeded system processing limits. To address this, we have updated the data retrieval logic to process records in smaller batches using pagination instead of loading the entire dataset at once.
  3. Allow international call for Click to Call support without 00 extension
    Issue resolved by adding support for international prefixes (+91, 00) in the Click-to-Call number parsing logic, which previously caused number normalization and call initiation failures when international calling was enabled.
  4. Call Hangup (Missed or Answered)” Webhook Not Triggering for Voice Bot to Inbound Queue Transfers
    The root cause was identified as an incorrect extension ID being passed, which prevented the webhook from triggering. The configuration has been updated to pass the correct DID value.

Dialer

1. Dialer Disposition API Optimisation

For: Backend Optimization

What's New?

Disposition APIs for dialer calls have been optimised to reduce latency, improve reliability, and ensure consistent disposition updates across the platform.

What are the benefits?

Disposition updates now reach reports and dashboards more reliably and with fewer failures, reducing manual corrections and improving the accuracy of performance tracking.

How to use?

Use the dialer as usual; disposition updates from agents and integrations will automatically follow the optimised API flow and reflect more consistently in Insights and real‑time views.

2.Dialer Socket and Flag Optimisation

For: Backend Optimization

What's New?

We’ve improved socket handling and internal dialer flags for agent and call states, including better reconnection logic and cleaner state transitions.

What are the benefits?

Agents now see more accurate, real‑time status changes (Ready, Ringing, In Call, Wrap, etc.), reducing mismatches between what the panel shows and what reports/queues contain.

How to use?

No configuration changes are needed; simply monitor agent status and call states in your existing dashboards and panels to experience smoother, more reliable updates.

3. Unified Dialer API Logging & Security Patches

For: Admin/Supervisor

What's New?

All dialer APIs now generate structured logs with better context (request IDs, tenant, campaign, agent, and call identifiers), and we’ve applied the latest security patches and best‑practice configurations.

What are the benefits?

Faster troubleshooting, clearer audit trails, and a more secure API surface — helping you and our support team quickly pinpoint issues while keeping your data better protected.

How to use?

Continue using the dialer APIs as before; if you work with our support or engineering teams, you’ll notice improved traceability and diagnostic detail in investigations and reports.

4.Agent Panel Optimization: Socket to API (Phase 2)

For: Backend Optimization

What's New?

Backend communication between the agent panel and dialer is now partially migrated from socket-based to API-based architecture.

What are the benefits?

  • Reduced memory load and better scalability for large teams.

How to use?

No agent action required. This change is applied automatically in the background; the agent panel continues to function as usual but with smoother performance.

5.Console SSO Integration Optimisation

For: Users

What's New?

When a user opens the dialer URL, they will be redirected to the Console login page, where they can enter their credentials, and upon successful authentication they will be routed back to the campaign selection page in the dialer

What are the benefits?

  • Simplifies user access and credential management.
  • Strengthens data security with centralized authentication control.

How to use?

When a user opens the dialer URL, they will be redirected to the Console login page, where they can enter their credentials, and upon successful authentication they will be routed back to the campaign selection page in the dialer

BUG Fixes

  • Issue: “Total In-Call Time” was not correctly reflecting the actual call handling duration for some calls.
    Resolution: Fixed the calculation logic so Total In-Call Time now accurately represents the time agents spend on active calls, including relevant states and scenarios.
  • Issue: In some cases, dialer agent Break Duration was being reported as higher than the agent’s total Logged-in Duration
    Resolution: Corrected the underlying state-tracking and reporting logic so Break Duration can no longer exceed the overall Logged-in Duration, ensuring accurate adherence and productivity metrics.
  • Issue: The outbound call webhook payload was missing the “Call-To” number parameter for certain outbound calls.
    Resolution: Updated the webhook structure so the Call-To number is now consistently included in the outbound webhook, improving downstream integrations and reporting accuracy.
  • Issue: Users were unable to redial calls directly from the disposition window in some dialer flows.
    Resolution: Fixed the redial action from the disposition screen so agents can now seamlessly initiate a redial without navigating away from the disposition view.
  • Issue: For transferred calls, the call duration was not being fully captured in the “Total Call Time” metric.
    Resolution: Adjusted the call-journey tracking so Total Call Time now includes the complete duration of transferred calls across all legs, giving a correct end-to-end view of the interaction.

  • Existing calling and logging workflows remain unchanged.

📶 VOICE Streaming and SIP Trunking

1. Implement Concurrent Call Rate Limiting for VOICE Streaming to Ensure Platform Stability and Fair Resource Allocation

For: SUPER ADMIN

What It Is

VOICE Streaming sessions on the platform were previously unbounded, which could lead to excessive resource consumption by individual tenants and impact overall platform stability.

With this release, Super Admins can now configure a Voice Streaming Limit at the account level to define the maximum number of concurrent VOICE Streaming sessions allowed for a tenant. Any new session attempts beyond the configured limit will be rejected gracefully, with clear failure visibility for operations and support teams.

This enhancement introduces an important control layer for infrastructure protection, fair usage enforcement, and future packaging of concurrency-based plans.

What Are the Benefits?

  • Platform Resilience
    Prevents infrastructure overload caused by uncontrolled VOICE Streaming usage.
  • Fair Usage Enforcement
    Ensures equitable distribution of resources across tenants and avoids monopolization by high-volume users.
  • Commercial Enablement
    Establishes the foundation for tier-based concurrency plans, upsell packages, and usage-based monetization.
  • Operational Observability
    Provides clear diagnostics and visibility into concurrency-related call rejections.
  • Improved Supportability
    Helps support and operations teams identify when calls fail due to concurrency limit breaches instead of platform or bot-side issues.

How to Use (Step-by-Step)

  1. Go to All Accounts at the Super Admin level.
  2. Search for the concerned account using the available filters.
  3. Click Select an Action → Edit Account.
  4. Define the Voice Streaming Limit for the account.
  5. Click Save.

2. Implement Activity Logs for Telephony Resources

For: SUPER ADMIN

What It Is

We have introduced Activity Logs for Telephony Resources across the Super Admin panel to improve visibility and governance for critical telephony configuration changes.

Until now, CRUD operations performed on Gateways, Telephony Servers, and Telephony Groups were not being tracked through structured logs. This created gaps in observability, made troubleshooting harder, and reduced audit readiness.

With this enhancement, key changes across telephony resources are now captured in activity logs, including the user who performed the action, timestamp, resource details, and action description.

What Are the Benefits?

  • Improved Observability
    Provides complete visibility into changes made across telephony resources, making it easier to detect unexpected or incorrect updates.
  • Access Governance
    Improves accountability by tracking which Super Admin performed a specific action and when.
  • Operational Accountability
    Enables detailed traceability for troubleshooting, internal reviews, and audits.
  • Faster Root Cause Analysis
    Helps Operations and Engineering teams quickly identify recent changes that may have impacted live telephony behavior.

How to Use (Step-by-Step)

  1. Go to Reporting at the Super Admin level.
  2. Click on Activity Logs.
  3. Search the logs using the Date Filter to identify changes made during a specific period.
