I am wondering what the best solution is for initiating a call from Outlook Contacts. I imagine something that would start the call from the outlook card (or similar) and then dial the user’s extension and the contact’s phone number and place them in a bridge. Anyone use something like this?

Hi Travis,

Have a look at this:

http://www.ipcom.at/en/telephony/siptapi/

I have used this in the past to do something similar, unless you have an Exchange Enterprise setup in which case I would suggest exploring unified messaging

Thanks,

Neeraj

I'm not familiar with Outlook; but I imagine it must have the ability to run
external helper programs, substituting placeholders in the command line with
fields from the contact's database record, to perform actions such as dialling
numbers.

Here, we use Kontact (part of KDE) which definitely has such an ability. So
I configured it to use wget to fire off a request to a CGI script which generates
a call file; then you just click to dial a contact's number, your phone begins
to ring, you answer it and the remote contact's phone begins to ring.

The backend script is fairly simple. We can determine the extension number
nearest to the user from their IP address (the DHCP server is configured
always to offer the same IP address to the same hardware address, so
workstations effectively have static IP addresses), which will be passed to
the script by the Apache server.

If you can fire off a wget request when clicking on a number, you should be good
to go. (You can request a non-existent script at first; the request will show
up in /var/log/apache2/error.log .) If you need help with the script, ask
again Smile

Is TAPI still available on Windows 10, for instance ?
