Web Visitor Log
The Web Visitor Log is now visible in the New Portal. The Log records each visit to your site, regardless of whether the visitor made a call to your number. You can read more about the Web Visitor Log on our Support site.

Custom On-hold audio
You can now use the Delacon Portal to customise the message or music heard by a caller when they dial a Delacon number. You can read about how to configure your on-hold audio on our Support site.

June 2021

Upload Whisper message

Custom Whisper messages can now be uploaded through the new Delacon Portal. You can find out how to customise your Whisper message in our guide.

Selectable tagging profiles easier to select

As part of our Speech Analytics Module, you can select which tagging profile you want to use on a call. We have improved the user interface to make it easier to see what kind of profile you are selecting. You can read more about Speech Analytics here.

Tracking codes deployed in iframes

Delacon has rolled out an update to its tracking code that ensures greater accuracy of call tracking data when numbers are displayed in an iframe. In the past, call tracking numbers displayed in an iframe may have caused inaccuracies in call tracking data, but the new code update eliminates this risk. Customers do not need to make any changes to their implementation of the Delacon tracking code on their sites to take advantage of this update.

Google Forwarding Numbers on Call Only ad integrations
Customers can now define whether they want to implement Google Forwarding Numbers for each CID when they integrate their tracking numbers with Google Call Only ads. You can read more in our guide.

Improvements to Portal UI
After a recent update, the Service ID (CID) will appear in the Call Log Report for each call. This allows users to understand which CID each call relates to. This new data also appears in the .csv download of the Call Log Report. You can read more about the Call Log Report on our Support site.
There have also been several other small updates to the portal UI to allow users to navigate the portal more easily.

Monthly statement download can now be generated for current month
Users can now access the current month’s Monthly Activity Statement, which will show accurate billing information for the month to date. This is in addition to the ability to download previous month’s full statements.

Tracking code enhancements to handle Ajax call and click call event handling
We have updated our tracking code to handle ajax calls. Instead of the tracking number being shown on the initial page load, developers can now code their CTAs to call the Delacon function, which will then supply the tracking number only when needed. This is particularly useful for directories, or organisations that use ajax to update pages with new store locations when a user performs a search on their website, for example. This allows customers to save money by not requiring a large number of tracking numbers.

May 2021

Credit Card Number Redaction

Delacon’s credit card redaction feature is able to recognise the sequence and patterns of credit card numbers when words such as ‘credit’, ‘debit’, ‘Mastercard’, ‘Visa’, and ‘AmEx’ are present in the whole call transcript and immediately replaces them with # characters. Read more about Credit Card Number Redaction.

September 2020

White Label Forgot Password Link

Improvements have been made to Delacon’s white label portal. Users can now add their email to the forget password configuration. Doing so means that when a client requests a new password a ‘Forgot Password’ email and link will appear to come from the user’s own email, even though it is being sent by Delacon’s system. See the White Label Forgot Password Link guide for more information about activating this feature.

 Login Activity feature

Enhancements have been made to the Delacon portal and a new Login Activity feature has been released.

February 2020

Delacon Reporting API

Additional enhancements have been made to the Delacon reporting API. There is now greater access to information about captured Google Ads details such as:

• Keyword-ID
• Ad-ID
• Adgroup-ID
• Campaign-ID
• Account-ID
• Account name

This feature is beneficial to any customer using the reporting API, who would like additional information about the Google Ads visit.

New Interpretation for UTM Medium

When a user lands on a website with query string parameters- if the Delacon system see a utm medium parameter defined, we will automatically define the source. The “type” column in your call log will show the value defined as utm_medium=.
This feature is useful in that the Delacon tracking code will define the source by tagging it explicitly and will be of benefit to customers who want more granularity on reporting based on standardised utm parameters.

Adobe EVar Enhancement

Enhancements to available EVars for Adobe Analytics, provides users with more thorough datasets and insights.

Update to Change Password Feature in the New Portal

Changing password to master ID (MID) can now be done in the new portal, rather than having to navigate to the old portal to make the change. This new feature was introduced for flexibility and ease of use. Passwords created must meet sufficient complexity criteria.

Upgrade to Cut-Key Selection
The cut key to drop the call or transfer to a survey could previously only be performed from (numerical values) 0-9. Our latest upgrade has enabled the star and hash keys to also be selected as cut-keys as long as call recording pause has not been selected. This function provides greater options for cut-keys to be used for clients who prefer numerical keys for internal transfers only.

Outbound Call Recording IVR 

Enhancements to outbound call recording have been implemented to store files in Google Cloud Storage. Previously, files were stored locally on Delacon’s infrastructure and then transferred on schedule. Files for outbound call recordings are now immediately available to be listened to. This feature is automatically available for all clients using outbound call recording.

January 2020

You can now add two additional parameters, which encourages you to add 3 new fields to CRM upload that are accessible to GA and DCM.

Previously, you could combine only:

  • Delacon campaign ID
  • Caller phone number
  • Date/time of the call
  • Sale value
  • Platform to upload the conversion to

Example: 123,+61412345678,20200616 09:22:00.000,100.00,GA

You can now add two new parameters:

  • Call ID
  • CRM variable

Example: With Call ID:

123,+61412345678,20200616 09:22:00.000,100.00,GA,CALL_ID

Example: With CRM variable without Call ID:

Adding 1 CRM variable:

123,+61412345678,20200616 09:22:00.000,100.00,GA,,crm1

Adding more CRM variables:

123,+61412345678,20200616 09:22:00.000,100.00,GA,,crm1,crm2,crm3

Example: With Call ID and CRM variables

Adding 1 CRM variable:

123,+61412345678,20200616 09:22:00.000,100.00,GA,CALL_ID,crm1

Adding more CRM variables:

123,+61412345678,20200616 09:22:00.000,100.00,GA,CALL_ID,crm1,crm2,crm3

These fields are optional; therefore, you can append empty, one, two or three CRM value/s by using the comma delimiter.

November 2019

Out of hours IVR

Delacon have expanded the capabilities of our IVR where an additional IVR can be played out of hours. This can be custom built for clients and allows greater scope for more specific call flows. This IVR is an entirely different IVR to the clients’ regular IVR that gets activated out of hours to enable a different call flow for those who need it.

Offline Call Transcription

Call transcription and related services are now enabled for clients who do not have call recording active with Delacon, but have their own call recordings. We are able to manually upload the recording files for use of Delacon’s Speech Analytics. Clients can experience the full spectrum of Speech Analytics features.

Minimal Spending Enforcer

Minimum spend monitoring- if a minimum spending amount is in place (in the clients’ contracts), this will now be enforced. Each billing cycle will automatically reflect the defined minimum spend if the minimum spend had not been met or exceeded.

Merging of Call Records in the Call Report

With our current IVR service, there are certain configurations that mean every call made will generate 2 call records in the Call Report. This occurs in instances with geographic routing. Our new Call Record Merging feature will combine multiple call records into one, for ease of reporting. Nothing will have to be done to activate this as it is an automated process

Token Instead of Password in New User Tool

Previously when setting up the New User Configuration tool, the person conducting the setting up process would set, and have knowledge of the new user’s password. Now a link will automatically be sent to the end user instead, enabling them to set their own password to further increase security.

October 2019

Clients’ Delacon Account will be temporarily locked for 30 minutes if a user (master/user/agency/company) types the wrong passwords in 5 consecutive times. Once the user does successfully log in, their failed attempt will be reset to 0. This is another feature important in PCI compliance.

September 2019

The following enhancements have been made to Delacon’s webhook application.

  • Increased the timeout threshold to 30 seconds (previously 3 seconds) to allow more time for a response from the client side endpoint.
  • A change of the webhook application from single threaded to multi threaded, which increases throughput and handles multiple concurrent requests more effectively.
  • Post call updates (push 2/”update”) will always be sent out if the customer side endpoint responds with a 200/204 message, even if the response does not follow the recommended specifications.
  • Other internal optimisations to improve application stability.
