Is there a way to troubleshoot this?

=20

I've installed and started the sendmail service added the message below
to the ToSend.txt file, restarted xAP Switchboard.

Receive an incoming call, complete the call and no email...

Any ideas?

Neil,

As Kevin described, Switchboard can't on it's own send emails, sms or
IMs as these tasks are best handled by separate apps. What Switchboard
does have is a flexible event system with the events triggering when
various things happen:
On an Incoming call (ToSend)
When an incoming call is picked up (ToSend_Pickup)
The end of an Incoming call (ToSend_IncEnd)
When a local phone is picked up and/or a digit is pressed
(ToSend_OutDigit)
The end of an Outgoing call (ToSend_OutEnd)
When an IM contact changes state (ToSendIM)

Each of these events is actually a text file inside the Switchboard
directory, the names of the files being what's between the ( ) above.
Each file contains as many xAP messages as you like and each xAP message
can contain elements from the phone call. If you have a look at the
Tosend.txt file, in its default state it sends 3 messages on an incoming
call, one for a slimp3, one for a generic display and finally one for
text to speech. Each message is between a <start> and an <end>
and
insertable  elements are contained within *s. There is a list of all
possible *s in the ToSend file. Now Switchboard support a few builtin
schemas but to send an email you will need to use a raw message. Below
is an example block to add to a ToSend file:

<start>
Type=3Draw:Mail.Outgoing
Target=3D>
<raw>
Message
{
To=3Djames@xxxxxxx
From=3Dtelephone@xxxxxxx
Subject=3D*Direction* Call from *NameCompanyNumber*
}
Body.Text
{
Text.1=3D*Direction* Call from *NameCompanyNumber*
Text.2=3Don *LineDescription* from *LocationSTD*
}
</raw>
<end>

Now assuming your xAP mail gateway is set up that's all that is needed
to send an email. Using the same kind of idea you could use xAPSMS to
send an SMS, or even send a message to a Netiom-xAP to flash a light!

Hope all this is of help and if you have any questions just ask.

James

An old application that does this, but definitely needs an update (the
schema links on this page are out of date I now notice):

And the xAP schema to do so:
