The working principle of this module is to take advantage of Asterisk's queue system. Its main features are as follows:
Inbound and outbound calls
Predictive dialing
Multiple queues and campaigns can operate at the same time
Scripting
Call agenda
Callback login
An agent can log in on multiple queues or campaigns
Reports
Call monitoring and recording
It is important to mention its limitations. It is not possible to send calls to a queue without agents (in case of trying to implement a scenario where calls are dialed and then answered, a recording is played and then the call is ended). In this recipe and the next, we will cover the following processes:
Installation of the Call Center module
Configuring the Call Center module
We can install the Call Center module by using Addons menu or issuing a command in Linux's command line.
