📍 The Real-Time Challenge in Communication
In today’s always-on, instant-feedback digital world, latency is the enemy. Whether it’s an incoming customer support call, an SMS verification request, or a VoIP status update, your application needs to react in real time—not seconds later.
Traditional HTTP APIs work well for one-off requests, but when the goal is live updates, event-driven behavior, and low-latency interactions, you need a faster, smarter protocol.
That’s where WebSocket APIs from Opentact redefine the communication game.
🌐 Why WebSockets? A Developer’s Advantage
WebSockets provide a persistent, two-way connection between client and server. Unlike HTTP, where the client must continuously poll the server for updates, WebSockets allow instant event-driven interactions.
With Opentact’s WebSocket APIs, you can:
Receive inbound call events in real time
Stream live call metadata (duration, direction, DID, etc.)
Trigger call routing, IVR, or transcription instantly
Monitor agent statuses without polling
Build smart dashboards and analytics tools
🔧 What You Can Build with Opentact WebSocket APIs
🟢 1. Live Call Monitoring Interfaces
Track every inbound or outbound call event as it happens. Display agent activity, caller ID, and call flow status in a responsive dashboard.
📡 2. Instant IVR Routing Engines
Trigger complex callflows dynamically based on caller input or backend API rules. Change routes or playback messages in real time.
🔁 3. Reactive Messaging Workflows
Get alerts when messages are delivered, failed, or responded to. Use WebSocket data to trigger workflows in customer CRMs or helpdesks.
🤖 4. AI-Driven Call Assistance
Use speech recognition and WebSocket events together to power real-time transcriptions, language detection, or sentiment scoring—then update UI or make decisions on-the-fly.
📊 5. Real-Time Analytics Dashboards
Build visualizations of current call loads, queue performance, and agent availability. WebSocket feeds keep charts and metrics live—no refresh needed.
