Voicemail - Pbx Integration Questions

Recommended Posts

I'm about to do a little custom development for vm integration and have a couple vm-related questions:

 

1. Because I'll be integrating with a PBX, I was really hoping to get VoiceGuide to dial my pbx's digits to turn the new message waiting lamp on and off (63[station] and 64[station] respectively). Thus far I haven't spotted any suitable hooks in the prebuilt voicemail functionality and also haven't yet concocted a method of my own - Are there hooks in the voicemail module to do this and I'm just not seeing it in the configs? Meanwhile, I'm going to go attempt to combine a script and a Play module to detect new message status and take appropriate action at the end of any call where a user goes into the vm system.

 

2. I notice that any custom keys added to a VoicemailBox element through external programs (to support add'l advanced processing) get removed if any changes are made through the Voicemail Manager. I assume the case is the same for any changes made through the Voicemail Module when VoiceGuide is running. I'll be getting around this issue by creating a separate config file for any additional data but was just wondering if there are any plans to support intermingling of data as I describe/envision.

 

3. Is there any file locking mechanism in place to prevent accidental data loss (e.g. - Two users in a multi user environment attempting to change their password at the same time) for data in the xml config file?

 

Thanks!

1. This is not supported in the current version of VoiceGuide, but will be integrated into the Voicemail system within the next few months. In the meantime a workaround such as you describe would be needed to turn the message waiting lamps on/off.

 

2. Could you please describe in more detail what you are trying to achieve, and which settings are being reset.

 

3. Only one VoiceGuide process can write to that file at a time.
