NotifyOnTaskClient- Client

The NotifyOnTaskClient API provides methods for sending SMS messages or starting/managing a conference call for various telephony service providers, such as Zoom and Webex.

Any UI can consume the NotifyOnTaskClient API by explicitly including the NotifyOnTaskClient UI script.

Using the NotifyOnTaskClient API you can:

Start a conference call
End a conference call
Add participants
Perform actions that are available through the telephony driver such as:
- mute/unmute participants
- remove participants from a conference call
- add participants to a conference call
- start a conference call
- end a conference call

The Notify (com.snc.notify) plugin requires a separate subscription. For additional information on activating the Notify plugin, see Activate Notify.

NotifyOnTaskClient - addParticipants(Object data)

Adds the specified participants to a specified conference call.

Name	Type	Description
data	Object	Object that describes the conference call.
data.addToWorkNotes	Boolean	Flag that indicates whether to add information about the participants that were included in the conference call in the work notes field of the associated record. For this functionality to work, you must also specify values in the data.table and data.sysId parameters. These parameters identify the record in which to add the work notes. Default: false
data.confId	String	Sys\_id of the conference call. Table: Notify Conference Call \[notify\_conference\_call\]
data.items	Array	Information for each participant to include in the conference call. `"items": [ "email": "String", "id": "String", "notifyParticipantId": "String", "phoneNumber": "String" ]`
data.items.email	String	Email address of the participant.
data.items.id	String	User sys\_id.Table: User \[sys\_User\]
data.items.notifyParticipantId	String	Participant sys\_id.Table: Notify Participant \[notify\_participant\]
data.items.phoneNumber	String	Phone number of the participant. If this value is passed in conjunction with either the id or notifyParticipantId parameter, this value supersedes the phone numbers in the user/participant record and is used to place the call.
data.message	String	Message that is read aloud when a user answers the call, such as, "P1 incident has been created please login to instance."
data.serviceProvider	String	Required. Name of conference service provider, such as Zoom or Webex.
data.sysId	String	Sys_id of the source record to associate with the conference call. For example, if a conference call is held to discuss a specific incident or problem, put the sys_id of the incident or problem record in this value. This sys_id is stored in the Source column of the NotifyConference Call [notify_conference_call] table and can later be tracked. This parameter is used in conjunction with the data.Table, data.addToWorkNotes, and allowMulticonference parameters. You should configure this value when the conference call is initially created through a "start" action. If required, you can also set this value through this method.
data.table	String	Table that contains the source record to associate with the conference call. A source record can be any record, such as an "incident" or "problem", that is the topic of discussion in the conference call. This table name is stored in the Table column of the NotifyConference Call [notify_conference_call] table and can be tracked. This parameter is used in conjunction with the data.sysId, data.addToWorkNotes, and allowMulticonference parameters. You should configure this value when the conference call is initially created through a "start" action. If required, you can also set this value through this method.

NotifyOnTaskClient - doConferenceAction(String action, Object data)

Performs the specified conference call action, such as starting/ending a conference call or joining, removing, muting, or unmuting participants from a conference call.

You can start a new conference call and add participants within a single call to this method or call the method multiple times to start the call and then manage participants separately. In addition, through the passed in data object, you can configure the method to:

Save pointers in the conference call record to the specific record (source record), such as an incident or problem, that is the topic of discussion for the conference call.
Allow/disallow multiple conference calls for a source record.
Automatically log the participants that were in the conference call in the Work notes field of the source record.
Have a message read aloud when a participant answers an outgoing call from the conference.

NotifyOnTaskClient - getNotifyActionTemplate()

Returns a JSON data template to use with the doConferenceAction() method. Using this template automatically structures the data object so that you don't have to manually create it.

Call this method prior to calling the doConferenceAction() method. For the desired conference call action, set the desired parameters within the template, and then pass the template in the doConferenceAction() call. For additional information on the valid parameters for each action, see doConferenceAction().

Note: This is a helper method. You can also manually construct this object and pass it into the doConferenceAction() method and have the same outcome.
