On Call status sync

SkySwitch handles your calls. Velaro handles everything around them.

SkySwitch gives resellers a world-class UCaaS backbone. But when a call connects, your agents are still toggling between their phone and their support platform - manually copying caller IDs, logging calls by hand, and flipping their status flag themselves. That friction costs time on every single call.

73%

Of agents manually log calls after hanging up

Manual post-call logging averages 4 minutes per call. For a 10-agent team taking 50 calls a day, that's 33+ hours of avoidable admin work every week.

8s

Average time to look up a caller before the greeting

Without screen pop, agents scramble to find the contact while the caller hears silence. Eight seconds of dead air on a call you already paid SkySwitch to connect.

Auto

Velaro logs every call the moment it ends

Duration, caller DID, agent DID, direction, outcome - all written to conversation history automatically. Your reporting is complete before the agent touches the keyboard.

<1s

Screen pop with full context before the first word

As the call rings, Velaro resolves the caller DID to a contact record and surfaces their history, open tickets, and account status in the agent workspace.

Four layers of integration. Zero new hardware.

The SkySwitch + Velaro integration works through a secure HMAC-signed webhook. SkySwitch fires events; Velaro acts on them instantly.

Core Feature
📋

Screen Pop

When a SkySwitch call connects, Velaro instantly resolves the caller's DID to a contact record and opens a pre-populated workspace view for the receiving agent - name, history, open tickets, and last conversation all visible before the greeting.

Core Feature
📝

Automatic Call Logging

Every inbound and outbound SkySwitch call is automatically written to Velaro's conversation history: call direction, caller DID, agent DID, call duration, start/end timestamps, and disposition. Zero post-call data entry. Complete audit trail.

Core Feature
🔄

On Call Status Sync

When an agent's SkySwitch DID goes active (ringing or in-call), Velaro sets their availability to "On Call" automatically. When the call ends, availability reverts. Chat queues route around agents on calls in real time - no manual status toggling.

Security
🔐

HMAC-SHA256 Webhook Auth

Every SkySwitch webhook is validated against the X-SkySwitch-Signature header using HMAC-SHA256 before Velaro processes it. Replay attacks and spoofed events are rejected at the perimeter. Your webhook secret is encrypted at rest.

Configuration
👤

Agent DID Mapping

Map each SkySwitch DID to a Velaro agent in the admin UI. One agent can have multiple DIDs (desk, mobile, hunt group). Velaro resolves the active DID on every event so screen pop and status sync go to exactly the right agent.

Reporting
📊

Unified Call + Chat Reports

Voice calls and chat conversations appear in the same Velaro reporting dashboard. Compare call volume, handle time, and agent utilization across both channels. One place for ops to see the full support picture.

Three steps. Thirty minutes.

No phone system changes. No new hardware. Your SkySwitch reseller doesn't need to be involved.

1

Connect SkySwitch to Velaro

In the Velaro admin, go to Integrations → SkySwitch. Generate a webhook URL and paste it into your SkySwitch portal's outbound webhook settings.

  • Enable call.started, call.ended, and call.ringing events
  • Copy your Velaro webhook secret into SkySwitch for HMAC signing
  • Test connection - Velaro shows a green checkmark when events arrive
2

Map Agent DIDs

In the DID Mapping table, assign each SkySwitch phone number to the Velaro agent who owns it. Supports multiple DIDs per agent for hunt groups.

  • Individual desk DIDs → individual agents
  • Hunt group DIDs → agent pool (first to answer gets the pop)
  • Unmapped DIDs are still logged - just without an agent assignment
3

Go Live

Make a test call to any mapped DID. The screen pop appears in the agent's workspace within one second. Call logging confirms in the conversation history immediately after hang-up.

  • Verify screen pop content matches caller contact record
  • Confirm On Call status appears in the agent roster
  • Check call log entry in conversation history with full metadata

Enterprise-grade webhook security built in.

The SkySwitch integration uses HMAC-SHA256 signature validation on every inbound webhook. Unsigned or incorrectly signed events are rejected before any processing occurs.

How Signature Validation Works

SkySwitch signs each webhook payload using HMAC-SHA256 with a shared secret. The signature is sent in the X-SkySwitch-Signature header. Velaro recomputes the signature server-side and rejects any request where the signatures don't match.

X-SkySwitch-Signature header format
sha256=<hex_signature_of_body>

What's Protected

HMAC validation ensures that only genuine SkySwitch events are processed. This blocks:

  • Replay attacks (stale events rejected)
  • Spoofed status events from third parties
  • Man-in-the-middle payload tampering
  • Unauthorized agent status manipulation

Webhook secrets are stored encrypted at rest and never exposed in admin UI responses.
