RingPools¶

Similar to Promo Numbers, because these are generated by Invoca, the interface is idempotent. By default, RingPools will capture params based on your Marketing Data Dictionary.

Learn more about RingPools here.

Property	Type	Value
id	integer (read-only)	The internal Invoca id of the RingPool.
id_from_network	string (required)	Network specific id of the RingPool. Unique within network. Not required when auto-generation is enabled at network level.
name	string	Arbitrary string. Names the RingPool.
object_url	string (read-only)	URL for reaching the RingPool in the UI.
lifetime_seconds	integer	The guaranteed minimum time that the number will be allocated for this RingPool.
max_pool_size	integer	The maximum amount of phone numbers to be allotted at one time.
preferred	boolean	true or false. Selects this RingPool if the advertiser has multiple RingPools for the campaign and the web integration code does not specify which pool to use.
destination_phone_number	A phone number to be associated with the RingPool.	When using Destinations UI or the forward to destination IVR node, this number will be used.
fill_immediately	boolean	When true, the ringpool will immediately be filled with phone numbers up to the max_pool_size, if numbers are available. When false, the pool will initially fill at 10% capacity to conserve phone number usage. The ringpool will increase phone numbers based on ringpool autoscaling settings and traffic volume.
allow_overflow	boolean	Determines what should happen if visitor traffic exceeds the pool size. When true, the RingPool will reserve one phone number for “overflow” and apply it to any additional visitors. When false, the destination phone number will not be replaced on the website. This field can be passed with a value of true or false when creating a RingPool. If updating a RingPool, the field may only be provided if the value is the same as when it was created (i.e. no change). If trying to change the value on an update request, the request will fail. If not passed when creating a new RingPool, the RingPool will be created using the default setting of true.

Local RingPool API¶

Local RingPool Creation¶

The API provides the ability to create RingPools with additional information that specifies them as being ‘Local’ RingPools. These Local RingPools use local numbers that are determined by the parameters passed in by the user of the API. If a local phone number cannot be found the pool fills those slots (max_pool_size) with toll free numbers instead. When you POST with the correct parameters the Local RingPool is created and the allocation of local numbers happens later (approx. 10 minutes). This capability is JSON-only.

POST¶

https://invoca.net/api/2019-05-01/<network_id>/advertisers/<advertiser_id_from_network>/advertiser_campaigns/<advertiser_campaign_id_from_network>/ring_pools.json

fill_immediately	boolean	When true, the ringpool will immediately be filled with phone numbers up to the max_pool_size, if numbers are available. When false, the pool will initially fill at 10% capacity to conserve phone number usage. The ringpool will increase phone numbers based on ringpool autoscaling settings and traffic volume.
local_center	hash	Requires one of the following Latitude & Longitude required together A filled field determines the center to start looking for local numbers at. “tn_prefix”: an npa “zipcode”: a valid zipcode “latitude”: a valid latitude “longitude”: a valid longitude
local_number_preferences	hash	All are optional “search_radius_miles”: An integer, greater than or equal to 0. Default is 240. Represents the number of miles from the location to search. “restrict_to_state”: A boolean. Default is true. Used to restrict search to be within state boundaries. “allocation_fallback_strategy”: “UseTollFree” or “Wait”. Default is “UseTollFree”. If we are unable to fill the RingPool using the location information provided, we will use this parameter to either fill it with TollFree (“UseTollFree”) or continue to wait until more numbers become available.
tn_prefix_whitelist	array of strings	an array of stringified limiters on the boundaries of where to look for local numbers given as npa (ex. [“805”, “212”])
allow_overflow	boolean	Determines what should happen if visitor traffic exceeds the pool size. When true, the RingPool will reserve one phone number for “overflow” and apply it to any additional visitors. When false, the destination phone number will not be replaced on the website. If not passed, the RingPool will be created using the default setting of true.
