Flow control element
The Flow Control element acts as a decision tree, and allows for two different comparison methods:
matching based on phone numbers or on time of day and date. The call will be routed to the next element
based on a successful or failed match (a failed match routes the call through the Otherwise connector pin).
You can select either Phone Numbers or Times, which determines the comparison element.
For example, you could use the Flow Control element with a Receive Fax element to call your cell phone,
send a pager notification, or send an email to your personal email address, to notify you when you receive
a fax from a particular number after business hours.
Routing incoming calls based on phone numbers
The UC server compares the incoming caller ID to those telephone numbers included in the Flow Control
element list. Telephone numbers in the list can be entered manually, or they can be pulled from your
contact address book by using the value selector.
For more information, refer to Selecting values within elements using the value selector on page 108. For
information about contact address book synchronization, refer to Synchronizing contacts on page 108.
The UC server compares the numbers of incoming calls with those included in the list.
• If the numbers match, the call is routed to the subsequent element that you specify.
• If the numbers do not match, the call moves to the element connected to the Otherwise connector pin.
