WombatDialer is a platform to provide mass outbound calling on the Asterisk PBX.

This can be used to implement many different services. By offering you a set of ready-to-use components and a monitoring GUI, you can create complex solution in minutes.

Typical usage scenarios include:

• Queue call-backs: allow callers to leave their numbers instead of waiting on a queue, and then being calls them back
• Web-based contact-us forms: allow customers to be called back by using a web form
• Automated surveys / Reverse IVRs: call a list of numbers and gather information that is entered as DTMF
• Number verification services: automatically check the validity of phone numbers
• Telecasting of pre-recorded messages: send pre-recorded messages to thousands of recipents quickly and efficiently
• Automated appointment reminders: remind and take appointments, with our without human interventions
• Automated subscription expiration: automatically call expiring subscriptions, and have clients renew their subscription
• Automated quality surveys: run quality/performance interviews and feed them back into the QueueMetrics QA module
• Generic progressive dialing: keep your outbound agents busy by having a dialer compose numbers, handle retries and pre-qualify leads

WombatDialer can work on pre-defined call lists or can dynamically create them over an API (e.g., dial number X after 10:30 AM). It shares the load on one or more PBX servers and has a flexible rescheduling logic to handle missed calls. It is built to be used with your existing Asterisk PBX and does not require separate servers or a separate set of lines. It can call over VoIP or through the public telephone network. It can also act as a power-dialer for a set of agents logged in in Asterisk.

WombatDialer is built to integrate with your business processes, and can receive calls to be made over HTTP and/or notify an external system in real-time of calls made and results gathered.

WombatDialer works natively with the QueueMetrics Call-Center Monitoring Suite in order to produce state-of-the-art campaign analyses and insight.

WombatDialer is currently available as a commecial product, but it is free to use for smaller systems, telephony hackers and Asterisk enthusiasts.
The current version is 0.6.13 as of May 2013.
