asterisk users - May 2005 - CRM integration (was RE: CallerID)

FYI - We have a solution here provided by Lucent that allows us to play /
review voicemails left on the Octel attached to the 5ESS switch... While
this is a simple webpage - doing a refresh every 3 to 4 seconds, it does
actually work.
The only loss of course would be if someone hung up on first ring - the
browser might not catch it in time.

And that's the real trick. Web browsers, unless they are instructed to
do otherwise, don't DO anything once they've completed loading a page.
So without instructing them to refresh, they aren't going to be aware of
a server-side change, such as an incoming call. For that, you're going
to have to have some way of sending a message TO the client machine,
have it received by that machine, and have that client machine take the
desired action (pop up an incoming call dialog, load a contact record,
etc.).
