AnnA Containers Structure

AnnA Containers should be one of these types:

• Message
• ButtonLink
• Time
• Multimedia
• ExecFunction
• Question
• Alternative

With the new Web Service V3, you will have the following structure:

[
  {
    "Type": "MESSAGE",
    "Alias": "MSG01",
    "Phrase": "Hello1",
    "Active": "S",
    "RestrictToGroup": "",
    "BeforeExecutionRule": ""
  },
  {
    "Type": "TIME",
    "Alias": "TIME01",
    "TimeToWait": "5",
    "ShowMessage": "S",
    "Message": "Aguarde @@TimeToWait@@s",
    "Active": "S",
    "RestrictToGroup": "",
    "BeforeExecutionRule": ""
  }
]

Note

The containers will execute in the order they were added, e.g., if a message container is added and then we add a question container, the message will be sent first and then the question

[
  {
    "Type": "MESSAGE",
    "Phrase": "Hello AnnA!"
  },
  {
    "Type": "QUESTION",
    "Phrase": "What is your name?"
  }
]

Alternatives

This structure is similar to the root of the container, you have a collection of PropName and PropValue where PropName will be “Alternative+Sequence” and PropValue will be a PropJSON
