Play¶

The Play Rule will play a message to the person who is calling.

Structure¶

We will have one element which is called messageParts which will be common to many rules.

<play id="play_1" label="Say Welcome">
    <!-- messageParts -->
</play>

Learn more about the messageParts.

The Play Rule has no attributes so let's get busy with the following examples.

Examples¶

We will make some examples to let you know how the Rule works and see all the possibilities you have with this Rule.

Basic Play Rule¶

In the first example below we are just playing back a sound file named "Welcome". The XML is described below

<play id="play_1" label="Say Welcome">
    <soundFile soundLabel="Welcome"/>
</play>

Play Rule with multiple Sounds¶

Inside the play rule you can specify multiple Sound Files to be played back concurrently. This way you can make sentences with different Sound Files you have uploaded in our system. For example:

<play id="play_1" label="Say Welcome">
    <soundFile soundLabel="Hello"/>
    <soundFile soundLabel="Bob"/>
    <soundFile soundLabel="How Are you?"/>
</play>

In addition to the above it is also possible to make some, or all, of the Sound Files dynamic. In this way you can have different values dependent upon the Link to which the template is assigned. An Example below:

<play id="play_1" label="Say Welcome">
    <soundFile soundLabel="Welcome"/>
    <soundFile soundLabel="?" soundGroup="names"/>
    <soundFile soundLabel="Tell me a secret."/>
</play>
