This action uploads a sound to a remote Web server. Two things are required: the URL of the remote upload processing script, and an existing IVR sound variable. You can enter a ‘static’ URL that is always the same, or you can create a ‘dynamic’ URL by entering variables so that the system builds the appropriate URL.

A dynamic URL can include IVR Action variables or system variables. When using a variable, make sure that a previous action has assigned a value to that variable, otherwise nothing will be inserted into the URL. To add a variable to the URL, select it from the appropriate Possible Variables dropdown, then click Append. The variable will appear in the URL field. When the URL is requested, each %VARIABLE_NAME% is replaced with the value of that variable.

• URL. Enter the URL to the remote processing script. Use the Possible Variables options to append variables to the URL.

• Sound to Send. Select a previously defined sound variable from the dropdown.

• Timeout in Seconds. Select the number of seconds to try connecting to the URL. If Switchvox cannot connect with the remote script within that time, Switchvox will quit trying and go on to the next action in this IVR.
