Setting up a DDE trigger
Dynamic data exchange (DDE) is the ability to exchange information between
applications or pass information to an application. These exchanges, called
conversations, are the messages sent to and from Symposium Agent and other
applications.
The following example illustrates the DDE method of communication. In this
example, Microsoft Excel is used as a DDE application. Using DDE Poke, this
test places the caller number into a spreadsheet at location row 1, column 1.
To set up a DDE trigger

Log in to Symposium Agent Administration and open Call Rules Explorer.
