Overview
Wrangler_ enables support the transformation of Unity UCXN system call handlers into to Webex Auto Attendants.
Status as of 2.6.13
It is important to note that there are certain limitations and caveats, as there is not a direct 1:1 correspondence between the functions and features of Unity and Webex Calling (WxC), and vice versa.
When applicable, Wrangler_ will attempt to transform allocated call handlers that have a DtmfID set (extension), performing the following transformations:
Additionally, if selected, Wrangler_ will copy the existing WAV audio recordings for normal and after hours greetings for each call handler to upload to WxC.

Known Limitations
As of 2.6.13
Issue/Behaviour | Workaround(s) |
|---|---|
WxC AA does not automatically replay the menu wave file. Additionally, it will disconnect the call after 10 seconds of silence if there is no input from the caller. | A) Re-record the wave file to duplicate the menu a few times, WxC will play this as a single wave file. B) Set an operator extension to the same number as the WxC AA, by default after 10seconds it will forward to the operator *** This is not recommended and could cause call loops *** |
Modifying Business hour Schedules may blank/remove days. The Control Hub GUI has limitations in displaying multi-day schedules. Modifications made through the Control Hub may inadvertently remove entire days from the schedule. | A)Workaround is to create a new schedule with the wizard, this will create a schedule for each day |
Holiday Schedule on a WxC only shows the first day of a multi day holiday. This is a limitation within controlhub when viewing the schedule from the WxC AA. | A) view the schedule via the Location in controlhub which will display the holidays correctly. |
After Greeting Handling. WxC AA has no concept of this. | A) its possible to set a number for the operator as a menu item, and the system will transfer the call to this after 10seconds of dead air. This will need to be done manually. |
No Voicemail of the WxC AA. | A) The WxC AA can’t have a voicemail, WxC has a concept of Group Voicemail, and will need to be configured manually . |
Voicemail error when pressing menu item. Wrangler_ will assign unknown voicemail menu items to the number of the WxC AA. | A) Check the menu item to verify if the call is being sent to a valid voicemail. B) Modify the menu item within wrangler_ before loading to WxC if a group voicemail is known. |
There are 2 menus with the same config. WxC AA allows for configuring a different menu for Business hours vs afterhours/holidays. | A) Unity Call Handlers only have a single Menu |
Why are so many schedules loaded with _B _H suffix. Unity Connection has a concept of global/systemwide schedules. | A) Limitation of current schedules/ WxC AA that can only be configured on a location basis. Possible new ‘operatingmode’ feature coming , but currently limited to call queues only. |
There are only 2 Schedules Business hours and Afterhours. WxC AA plays the same Menu for Afterhours or Holidays. | A) Limitation of current schedules/ WxC AA. Possible new ‘operatingmode’ feature coming , but currently limited to call queues only. |
Unity Call Routing Rules | A) Not supported at this time |
Personal call transfer rule are not migrated | A) Only System Call Handers are supported. |
