A
Push XML API
Broadcast Server communicates with the Application Gateway through
the Push XML API. You can use that same interface to send alerts from
other applications to IP phones. For example, you might wish to send call
center statistics, sales updates, or automated IT alerts.
To use the Push XML API, your application sends a request as an XML
string over HTTP to the Application Gateway.
The Application Gateway uses the request to compose, schedule, and
distribute the alert to IP phones. The Application Gateway then sends a
response back to your application containing alert status and error
information. The response returned to your application is an XML string
sent over HTTP.
The XML that your application sends to the Application Gateway defines
the parameters of the alert request, including the alert contents and
priority, the intended recipients, and a push schedule. An alert can include
a title, image, text, soft keys, and audio.
The following topics describe the Push XML API and how to use it to send
alerts from third-party applications to IP phones:
