Run Menu

Runs an interactive menu that accepts a single digit key press from the caller. You can configure a prompt and a number of menu options and the caller is expected to respond by pressing a single digit. For example "Press one for blue or two for red."

language wrappers and examples

The run menu properties are:

PropertyRequired/OptionalDefaultDescription
menu optionsrequiredAn array of menu option objects, each specifying a Dual Tone Multi Frequency (DTMF) digit and an associated next page.
promptoptional-A play action. This is the prompt that requests a digit to be selected.
help digitoptional"*"A single digit that, when pressed, will result in the menu prompt being repeated. An emtpy string signifies no help digit. Valid digits are 0123456789ABCD#*.
seconds digit timeoutoptional5An integer. The time period in seconds that the run menu action waits for a digit to be selected.
on digit timeout messagesoptional"Sorry, I did not hear that.",
"Please listen to the instructions and then use your telephone keypad to enter a valid number."
An array of play actions. This defines messages to play if no digit is pressed within the digit timeout period. Each play action in the array is played once for each successive timeout. When all messages have been played the action finishes. Note that barge in is disabled by default for these actions.
on invalid digit messagesoptional"Sorry, that was not a valid number.",
"Please listen to the instructions and enter a valid number." 		An array of play actions. This defines messages to play if an invalid digit is pressed. Each play action in the array is played once for each successive invalid digit. When all messages have been played the run menu action finishes. Note that barge in is disabled by default for these actions.

Remarks

run menu supports typing ahead. It inspects any digits that may have already been cached from barge in on a preceding play action. If this matches one of the menu options this action will return the selection immediately without playing the prompt.

To avoid this behaviour you can insert a clear input action after the play action.

Returns

The result of the menu selection will be returned to the application via the subsequent HTTP Request to the selected next page in the action result as follows:

PropertyAvailabilityDescription
selected digitalwaysA string containing the single digit that was selected in response to the menu prompt.

Run Menu Result

The Run Menu Result is represented by a dictionary. It is found within the action result for the next page.

Obtaining the Run Menu Result dictionary:

my_request = TelephonyRequest(request)
action_result = my_request.get_action_result()
if action_result.get("action") == "run_menu":
    run_menu_result =  action_result.get("result")

Examples:

Run a simple yes/no menu using the default parameters:
# Create a list of actions that will be passed to the TelephonyResponse constructor
list_of_actions = []

menu_options = []
menu_options.append(MenuOption('1',WebPage(url='option_yes_page')))
menu_options.append(MenuOption('2',WebPage(url='option_no_page')))

run_menu_action = RunMenu(menu_options)
run_menu_action.set_prompt(Play(text_to_say='Please press 1 for yes or 2 for no.'))

list_of_actions.append(run_menu_action)
Obtain the selected option from the action's next page request:
my_request = TelephonyRequest(request)
action_result = my_request.get_action_result()

if action_result.get("action") == "run_menu":

    run_menu_result =  action_result.get("result")

The RunMenu class

Introduction

Represents a run menu action.

Class synopsis

class RunMenu extends GetNumberBase {

    /* methods */
    public __construct(array $opts = null)
    public self addMenuOption(string $digit, WebPageRequest|string $next_page, string $method = null)
    public self setSecondsDigitTimeout(int $secs)

    /* inherited methods */
    public self setPrompt(Play $prompt)
    public self setHelpDigit(string $digit)
    public self setOnDigitTimeoutMessages(MessageList $messages)
    public self setOnInvalidDigitMessages(MessageList $messages)
}
The RunMenuResult class

Introduction

Represents the result of a run menu action.

Class synopsis

class RunMenuResult extends ActionResult {

    /* methods */
    public string getSelectedDigit()

    /* inherited methods */
    public string getAction()
    public boolean getInterrupted()
}

Examples:

Run a simple yes/no menu using the default parameters
$mp = new Aculab\TelephonyRestAPI\Play();
$mp->addText('Please press 1 for yes and 2 for no.');
$menu = new Aculab\TelephonyRestAPI\RunMenu();
$menu->setPrompt($mp)
    ->addMenuOption('1', 'optionyespage')
    ->addMenuOption('2', 'optionnopage');
$response->addAction($menu);
Obtain the selected option from the action's next page request:
$info = InstanceInfo::getInstanceInfo();
$menuResult = $info->getActionResult();
$selectedOption = $menuResult->getSelectedDigit();
Run a menu with three options, specifying non-default parameters
$mp = new Aculab\TelephonyRestAPI\Play();
$mp->addFile('voicemailmenu.wav');
$menu = new Aculab\TelephonyRestAPI\RunMenu();
$menu->setPrompt($mp)
    ->addMenuOption('1', 'voicemailOption1Page')
    ->addMenuOption('2', 'voicemailOption2Page')
    ->addMenuOption('3', 'voicemailOption3Page')
    ->setHelpDigit('#')
    ->setSecondsDigitTimeout(10);

$onDigitTimeoutMessages = new Aculab\TelephonyRestAPI\MessageList();
$onDigitTimeoutMessages->addMessage(Aculab\TelephonyRestAPI\Play::sayText("I didn't catch your entry."));
$onDigitTimeoutMessages->addMessage(Aculab\TelephonyRestAPI\Play::sayText('Please select an option.'));
$onDigitTimeoutMessages->addMessage(Aculab\TelephonyRestAPI\Play::playFile('oneMoreTime.wav'));
$menu->setOnDigitTimeoutMessages($onDigitTimeoutMessages);

$onInvalidDigitMessages = new Aculab\TelephonyRestAPI\MessageList();
$onInvalidDigitMessages->addMessage(Aculab\TelephonyRestAPI\Play::sayText("That wasn't one of the options. Please try again."));
$onInvalidDigitMessages->addMessage(Aculab\TelephonyRestAPI\Play::playFile('oneMoreTime.wav'));
$menu->setOnInvalidDigitMessages($onInvalidDigitMessages);

$response->addAction($menu);
Obtain the selected option from the action's next page request:
$info = InstanceInfo::getInstanceInfo();
$menuResult = $info->getActionResult();
$selectedOption = $menuResult->getSelectedDigit();
