Macro for Group Button

[Laszlo Olah]

Dear Colleagues,

I am going to write a simple macro for group button with no success. I guess the widgetID format does not fit, for example: group:call1 (widgetID: group, buttonID:call1)

Here you can see the current status:

const xapi = require('xapi');

function guiEvent(event) {
if (event.Type === 'pressed' && event.WidgetId === 'group:call1'){
xapi.command('Dial', { Number: 'call1@domain.com' });
}
if (event.Type === 'pressed' && event.WidgetId === 'group:call2'){
xapi.command('Dial', { Number: 'call2@domain.com' });
}
if (event.Type === 'pressed' && event.WidgetId === 'group:call3'){
xapi.command('Dial', { Number: 'call3@domain.com' });
}
}
xapi.event.on('UserInterface Extensions Widget Action', guiEvent);

Would you be so kind to help me out?

Thanks,

I'm not sure why you would want to do this with a group button which would normally be a switch between different functions.  

You would be better off using normal buttons - there is an example of creating these types of Speed Dial buttons on github: https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/roomdevices-macros-samples/tree/master/Speed%20Dials

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

In the meantime I found the solution:

if (event.Type == 'released' && event.WidgetId == 'group' && event.Value == 'call1')

instead of

if (event.Type == 'released' && event.WidgetId == 'group:call1')

Kind regards,

Laszlo
