 Triggers

 Triggers are rules invoked when there is an incoming call, mail, chat, sms, fax or openchannel message. Triggers are made up of conditions and actions. A condition is a logical expression that can only take the values true or false. You build conditions using properties of the event, an operator and the event value. The following is an example of a condition for an incoming call:

                                 

Call Status  Equals  Call Ringing
