App download SMS

SmartActions (receiving photos, videos, screenshots, verifying customers, and receiving text input) are not typically available during an IVR call. You can use Smart Actions by prompting the consumer to launch their app for your company. Once the app is installed and launched, you can use these Smart Actions with a consumer during an IVR call.

The Agent on the IVR call will need to take action to either send an SMS that provides a link to download or a link to launch the app. You may have an indicator in your CRM, or the Agent can ask the caller if they already have the app installed on a device they have nearby.

If you are using multiple mobile apps, these settings are now available in Settings > Developer Settings > Multiple Mobile Apps.

Requirements for setup

  • Existing iOS and or Android mobile app with the CCAI Platform SDK integrated.

  • Deep links are required from your mobile development team for iOS and Android app to open URLs (steps 4 and 6 below). Deep linking allows for a consumer to tap on the link from their mobile device and the device will then launch the already installed app.
