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.

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. The default value is 2.
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.

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

Content Type: application/json

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.
destination_type string

One of:

Advertiser,

API

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. The default value is 2.
preferred boolean true or false. Selects this RingPool if the advertiser has multiple RingPools for the campaign and the web integration code does not specifiy which pool to use.
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”])
