Solved Open URL in de background

[Jim Spaargaren]

Hi,

I'm trying to use the intergration to open a URL with variables. The URL opens correctly, but is there a possibility to open the URL in the background?



I tried to use the Windows Client to run a script, but then the variable %CallerNumber% does not work.

Hello @Jim Spaargaren
I've just confirmed that "%CallerNumber%" is working as expected. See below

It is also working for me in de web client, but the link has to be opened in the background. This is why I used a script in the Windows client, but then the %CallerNumber% does not work.

In my case I am not using WebClient. I am using 3CX Desktop App.

Im am talking about the old Windows client. If I put %CallerNumber% in the link in the script the parameter does not work.

Hi @Jim Spaargaren,

Using v18 Update 3 and the Desktop App, you can do this:

Ah thanks for the info. I think that will solve the problem!

I see that Update 3 is in Beta. Do you know when it will be released?

Hi @Jim Spaargaren,

I don't have an exact release date for the final, but I doubt it will be too long from now, historically speaking. Keep an eye on our blog for more info!

When I configure a script in the new desktop app the following error shows in de main log.

Any idea what the problem is?

Hi @Jim Spaargaren,

Does this happen for non-powershell scripts too? Like if you enter in a .bat file etc?

 

[Jim Spaargaren]

Ah thanks, it is working with the batch file. But unfortunately the parameter does not work.

In the script it is:

When it opens it does not fill in the number:


Any idea?

 

[VasilisV_3CX]

&Extensionnumber=885?

 

[Jim Spaargaren]

That is the end of the link. But it removes %CallerNumber% from the link and does not fill in the number.

EDIT: I see in the print screen it does not have &Extensionnumber=885 in the script, but it does have it:

 

[VasilisV_3CX]

I see what you're saying. I'll investigate and let you know if I find anything.

 

[Jim Spaargaren]

We found what the problem was. We needed to use %1 instead of %CallerNumber%.

Great to hear you found the problem @Jim Spaargaren! Well done! Feel free to open a new thread if you require anything else!
