    Field Details
    Input Enter the values that agents would dial.

    Output

    Enter the values the system should send when a match is detected and the pattern is applied.

    You can use the following values and variables:

    Value Details
    {number(s)} A full or partial set of numbers (for example, 8005551234). The agent would have to dial all the numbers specified, in that order, for the pattern to be applied. Can be used in either Input or Output.

    %

    Variable representing all numbers. The pattern would be applied to any numbers dialed by the agent. You can also combine this value with the previous one. For example, an Input value of 800555% would match any dialed number that began with 800555, regardless of the final digits. Can be used in either Input or Output.
    - Causes the first number to be stripped from the digits dialed by the agent. You can strip multiple numbers. For example, an Output value of ---555 would cause 800 to be stripped from 8005551234. Used in Output only.
    X Used to specify how many digits must be present for a pattern match. For example, to enforce ten digit dialing, you could enter an Input value of % and an Output value of -XXXXXXXXXX.
  6. To test the new pattern, enter a phone number that matches the Input and click Test.
  7. When your pattern is ready, click Add.
  8. Click Save.
