Configuring Lync conference call invitation
- Kiss, Mate
This feature in the Verba Web Application allows to receive Lync conference call invites and parse the available metadata in the invitation and store the information in the database along with the conference call recordings. The application is able to detect the subject of the conference call, the meeting ID, and the participants are also stored in the Verba system. If a call recording is started with a meeting ID which was previously received in an invitation, the system automatically attach the mentioned metadata to the call. The system uses a built-in custom metadata template to store the information.
The related configuration options are accessible on the web interface: open the Media Repository server's configuration and open Web Application / Conference Share Invitation item in the tree.
Meeting processing currently is a custom feature in Verba. In order to match the recordings with the invitations, the following SQL script has to be executed in the database:Â invitation-create-share-trigger.sql
