SANTA CLARA, CA--(Marketwired - February 22, 2018) - Zang, an Avaya Holdings Corp. (
- Arrow Connect IoT tasks: Today's businesses are looking to introduce more automation and connected technology into their operations. With the Arrow Connect IoT platform in conjunction with Zang Cloud, users can now seamlessly integrate sensors and smart devices into new and existing workflows.
- New tasks: Zang Cloud already makes it quick and convenient for users to add tasks to workflows. These new workflow updates make this experience even better with the addition of five new smart tasks: Add Participant, Send MMS, Record and Transcribe Calls, Play Recording, and Speech Recognition.
- Template-based workflows: By providing a working example that can be started and tweaked to fit specific needs, Templates can help anyone jumpstart their next development project. Whether it's an out-of-the-box solution, such as three-legged IVR or a more complex workflow, users will no longer need to spend time in development before seeing a project take shape.
- Custom Events: Available in the designer, this new feature conveniently enables the addition of phone calls or SMS inside user workflows.
- Definition of properties: Back-end development can be time-consuming and complex. This new tool makes it easier than ever for users to define the properties in their workflow, helping keep projects on budget and on time.
- Invoking of Workflows from REST client: REST has become an increasingly popular API model in recent years, and now users will be able to invoke workflows from a REST client. This can enhance collaboration and enable workflow completion in a more mobile-friendly and agile environment.
Zang Workflow is a graphical design tool that enables users to easily build communication apps and workflows. It's simple to use and doesn't require users to learn complex programming languages or even understand 'code' in order to build a great idea.
Accessing the Zang Workflow tool is simple. Sign up for a free Zang Cloud account and Workflow is already included. Creating new apps then becomes as a simple as 'dragging' and 'dropping' communication actions (like sending an SMS or transferring a call) into our design tool.
