**The Ruby SDK is deprecated as of 9/16/2020**

The Genesys Cloud Ruby SDK (v96.0.0) will be frozen at its current version level. Any new enhancements to our API or bug fixes will not be backported. If you do need to take advantage of new features or bug fixes outside the Genesys Cloud Ruby SDK, you will need to use the Genesys Cloud REST endpoints directly. More information can be found in the [Official Announcement](https://developer.mypurecloud.com/forum/t/announcement-genesys-cloud-ruby-sdk-end-of-life/8850).

| **type** | **String** | The type of this DialerAction. | |
| **action_type_name** | **String** | Additional type specification for this DialerAction. | |

| **properties** | **Hash<String, String>** | A map of key-value pairs pertinent to the DialerAction. Different types of DialerActions require different properties. MODIFY_CONTACT_ATTRIBUTE with an updateOption of SET takes a contact column as the key and accepts any value. SCHEDULE_CALLBACK takes a key 'callbackOffset' that specifies how far in the future the callback should be scheduled, in minutes. SET_CALLER_ID takes two keys: 'callerAddress', which should be the caller id phone number, and 'callerName'. For either key, you can also specify a column on the contact to get the value from. To do this, specify 'contact.Column', where 'Column' is the name of the contact column from which to get the value. SET_SKILLS takes a key 'skills' with an array of skill ids wrapped into a string (Example: {'skills': '['skillIdHere']'} ). | [optional] |
