Notify - call(String notifyPhoneNumber, String toPhoneNumber, GlideRecord conferenceCall, GlideRecord conferenceCallRecord, String userSysId, String groupSysId, GlideRecord sourceRecord)

Calls the specified E.164-compliant telephone number.

In addition, this method can automatically add the specified phone number to a specified conference call.

Name

Type

Description

notifyPhoneNumber

String or NotifyPhoneNumber

Notify phone number from which to make the call. When you initiate a call, the outgoing call workflow for the number group associated with this number runs. Ensure this workflow includes a join conference call activity to connect the user to the conference call.

toPhoneNumber

String

Phone number to call. Called numbers are added to the conference call.

conferenceCall

GlideRecord

Optional. If this parameter is passed in, the callers identified in the toPhoneNumber parameter are automatically joined into the conference call identified by this record. GlideRecord for the Notify Call [notify_call] table that identifies the conference call record. This record is automatically added to the outgoing call workflow scratchpad as the workflow.scratchpad.conference_call variable.

userSysId

String

Optional. Unique identifier (sys_id) of the user associated with the call.

groupSysId

String

Optional. Unique identifier (sys_id) of the group associated with the call.
