<p>Hello Giorgio,</p><p>you simply pass that parameter along so that from the QueueMetrics agent page you get that URL opened automagically when you get a call. It's for interfacing to external CRM apps, usually passing the agent code that handles the call, the Asterisk unique-id and the caller-id for database matching.</p>
<p>A lot of people using both the free and the commercial versions of QM use it and it seems to be working just fine :) the biggest problem we have with this is that this is not supported by FreePBX GUI and its derivatives (but we are going to make the configuratyion at the queue level optional, while still retaining the functionality).</p>
<p>I hope this helps,</p><p>l.</p><p></p><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/3/16 Giorgio Incantalupo <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:gincantalupo@fgasoftware.com">gincantalupo@fgasoftware.com</a>></span><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
Hi Tim,<br>
<br>
I've made a test with 2 Asterisks and the 2 consoles showed me an HTML<br>
packet sent and one received. This does not work with the SIP protocol.<br>
The idea was to understand what was it for (I suppose someone did it for<br>
some purpose...), then how to use it to improve our solution (es: open<br>
pop ups) but we use SIP phones which do not support that URL parameter.<br>
I know queuemetrics use it but I cannot undestand how since tha URL<br>
parameter is passed to the called party while queuemetrics reads the<br>
queues.log file.<br>
<br>
BTW thanks for your time.<br>
