The Vodia Experts LinkedIn group enhances channel support by providing a platform for Vodia resellers to collaborate, share insights and integrations, and cultivate a community based on best practices. It also serves as a source of guidance and support for its members.
We invite all Vodia partners to join the Vodia Experts group. You don’t have to be technical: we welcome everyone, and we would love to see participation from technical, developers,sales and marketing professionals.
Vodia’s open API enables resellers to complete their own integrations and develop interfaces and utilities that expand the Vodia ecosystem. Vodia Experts serves as a platform for resellers to demonstrate, share and showcase their accomplishments with other like-minded partners, offering, at the same time, a collaborative space for seeking and/or providing assistance and guidance. It’s the ideal place to observe how other resellers collaborate with Vodia, and to find out what works (and what doesn’t). It’s also a perfect platform for discussing prospective features, before submitting them as formal feature requests.
“Vodia Experts is another avenue of support for Vodia resellers,” said Eric Altman, Sales Engineer, Vodia, “a collaborative space where resellers can discuss their experiences and share their knowledge and, ultimately, help each other grow.”
“We will announce webinars and other events including product launches,” said Stuart Rudd, Director of Channel Development, UC-Reseller, “and we are looking for marketing and PR content from our members, which we will promote into other channels on our members behalf, amplifying the coverage for our valued partners. Ultimately, we are telling the channel, ‘we want our partners’ voices to be heard, as experts in their field.’ We have identified a collaborative, exciting way to connect Vodia resellers, and we want to create a cohesive and informative atmosphere wherein our members help each other gain market share. I’m really excited about what we will accomplish.”
“We are excited about the opportunities Vodia Experts gives us to develop and share more content, including press releases, blog posts and, hopefully, case studies,” said David Porter, VP of Communications, Vodia. “We hope Vodia Experts becomes a source of quality content for everyone, from MSPs to traditional telcos. We look forward to sharing this content within the group and beyond.”

The backend JavaScript code facilitates the connection, handling audio input and output, and the WebSocket connection to the OpenAI API. The setup requires a Vodia PBX version 69.5.3 or higher, an API key, and a license with an IVR node. The demo can be accessed by editing the ivrnode.js template and creating an IVR node in the tenant. The system supports various VoIP devices and offers good voice quality.
