Super Snippet Combo: Simple Contact Center
This snippet will show you how to implement basic contact center functionality, and is based on a number of previous Snippets working together.
You will need a machine with Python installed, the SignalWire SDK, a provisioned SignalWire phone number, and optionally Docker if you decide to run it in a container.
For this demo we will be using Python, but more languages may become available.
- Python
- SignalWire SDK
- SignalWire Phone Number
- Docker (Optional)
