Figure 8-17 Add/Edit Actions Screen

Action Name
Every event Action has a 'Name' which you should set to describe the result the Action is
trying to cause, like 'Beep My Pager'. This name is used in the Trigger Rules.
Type
Select from the pull-down menu the type of Action to be performed. Each Action has one or
more parameters that must be provided by the user/ installer. These parameters often contain
'tokens' which enable the inclusion of real-time information (e.g. Caller Phone Number, Date,
Time, etc.) in the parameter. The choices are as follows:
DDE Execute
Sends a specific DDE command to the program you specify. This Action is very flexible and
can be used to communicate with many different types of programs for a variety of purposes
(e.g. Screen Pop). DDE Execute String parameters include:
App Name - This should be set to the DDE name of the application to receive the DDE
event.
App Topic - This should be set to the DDE 'Topic' for the application to receive the
DDE event.
DDE Execute String - This is the command to be executed by the application receiving
this DDE event. Typically this command includes token(s) so that real-time
information is included in the command string.
