Properties

ConferenceID

OnError
If the Conference ID does not represent a valid, ongoing conference call, this branch condition is used.

Tips and Tricks

  • The JOIN action must be used in conjunction with a CONFERENCE action.
  • Until a previous CONFERENCE action has generated a Conference ID, the JOIN action will not have enough information to be executed.
  • 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 PUTVALUE and GETVALUE.
