Join

Connects a contact to a conference call.

Dependencies

  • The Join action must be used in conjunction with a Conference action.
  • Typically the conference host will generate a Conference ID and then store that value in a file, a database, or a global list. Subsequent callers then query the Conference ID and use it to join the call. For one possible method of storing the Conference ID, see the Putvalue action and the Getvalue action.
  • Until a previous Conference action has generated a Conference ID, the Join action will not have enough information to be executed.

Input Properties

These properties define data that the action uses when executing.

Property

Description

Caption

Enter a short phrase that uniquely identifies this action in the script. The caption appears on the script canvas under the action icon. The default is the action name.

ConferenceID

The Conference ID of an existing conference call that would have been created from a previously executed Conference action.

Result Branch Conditions

Result branch conditions allow you to create branches in your script to handle different outcomes when an action executes.

Condition

Description

Default

Path taken unless the script meets a condition that requires it to take one of the other branches. It is also taken if the action's other branches are not defined.

OnError

Path taken when the action fails to execute properly. For example, when there is an unexpected problem such as poor connectivity, syntax errors, and so on. The _ERR variable, with a single underscore character, should be populated with a condensed explanation of the problem.
