channelcall statement

channelcall

TYPE

PROCEDURE

EXTRAS

The channelcall statement calls a procedure in the active channel module.

Parameters

This statement has three parameters:

type – type of channel (Dial, Email, etc.). Can also optionally specify the exact module to call, for example Email:Python. If the module name is missing, the active module will be used.

procedure – name of the procedure to call.

extras – additional parameter values, if any, will be passed back to the called procedure.

Description

This statement calls a procedure in the active channel module.

channelcall "Dial","Dialectic","DialDigits","8005551212"

Note: This statement works slightly differently than in Panorama 6.0 and earlier versions. In Panorama X, extra parameters can now only be used to pass values, they cannot receive values back from the called procedure. Returned values now must be passed back via a global variable.
