How do I start external applications with Pamela?
In the option "Active Call" you can configure the start of an application for inbound or outbound calls. A further differentiation is made between Skype2Skype and PSTN calls (SkypeIn/SkypeOut).
The following syntax may be used:
1. HTTP links
No additional data is required, just a link with the variables.
Example: http://www.your-domain.com/text.html?nick=--[CALLER_NICKNAME]--&name=--[CALLER_FULLNAME]--
2. Executable file (.exe, .bat, cmd - i.e. all files that can be executed by your system)
Enter the correct path to the file.
Example: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe (without any quotes or other symbols).
3. Executable with command line arguments.
Each argument must be in quotes, exept the executable path itself.
Example: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe "http://www.your-domain.com/text.html?nick=--[CALLER_NICKNAME]--&name=--[CALLER_FULLNAME]--" "another_arg" "http://www.your-domain.com"
New in Pamela 3.0: Trigger application start on Voicemails and Recordings.
Further information:
What is the difference between --[CALL_PRIMARY_FILENAME]-- and --[CALL_SECONDARY_FILENAME]-- for executing external applications?
This has a sense when working with video recordings where you can have a separate video (AVI) and audio file. PRIMARY is the AVI file and SECONDARY the separated audio stream.
