Cisco Jabber - initiate call in application

chapelain36 · ‎07-22-2016

Hi, all.

We are trying to use Cisco Jabber in our research. Is there the way to initiate call in Cisco Jabber client from 3rd party application and pass to Cisco Jabber a phonenumber? Do you have any ideas?

Thank you.
With regards, Yuriy.

Note, DevNet provides support for the Jabber Web SDK, not the capabilities of the Jabber native clients.

However, I think you can accomplish what you describe via 'cross launching': when Jabber is installed, it creates an associated between various 'URI schemes' (e.g. 'ciscotel://xxxx') and itself in Windows, so that links that match the URL scheme will launch Jabber. This works in much the same way that a 'mailto://xxxx' URI works.

Jabber should support the following URL schemes for making a call:

- TEL://

- CISCOTEL://

- SIP://

e.g.;
