I have requirement where i need to have a "Talk to Sales" button on my website. The user would be able to talk to sales or the support team by clicking the "Talk to Sales" button.
I have tried a lot of cloud telephonic solutions like knowlarity and Twilio, but the solution which they gave me :
The user will have to enter there phone number and then the call would get connected between the user and the agent.
I have two problems with this solution :
1) The user's are very reluctant to give their phone numbers the first time they visit the website.
2) The solution is not cheap. In this i will have to pay for 2 calls : call to user and call to the agent.
So i need a solution which is cheap and does not require the user to enter his phone number.
Is there any solution wherein they click the "Talk to Sales" button and then the user would be able to talk through browser connected to sales/support guy on the phone?
You might have to write a little code.
Use twilio's javascript API to setup a call button in your website.
(Refer this)
Dial the Sales number when a user clicks on the button.
In this solution, the user doesn't need to provide any info. They can just click the button and start talking. The call cost of browser to twilio calls are pretty cheap. So you can cut the cost in this leg.
(Please note that since twilio js api relies on webrtc, your website should have an ssl certificate installed (https website) for this to work in all browsers. Chrome blocks webrtc from non-ssl sites)

I am new to teams application development and i am Building a Bot that will communicate with a third party APIs. For users to get information from that third party, they need to sign up to that 3rd party. Can i open a web page in a dialog to sign up user ? How is this possible using Team bot node.js SDK ?
It's possible to load a page, from a bot, in a Task Module. It basically provides a mini embedded browser experience. See more at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/task-modules-and-cards/what-are-task-modules and https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/task-modules-and-cards/task-modules/task-modules-bots?tabs=nodejs .
Note though that you won't know that the user has actually signed up to the service, only that they opened the "popup". You might be able (depending on the 3rd party's website) to embed their content in an iframe inside your own web page, within the task module, maybe with a button at the bottom to "complete the process" or something like that. That way, your bot will know to proceed. Alternatively, maybe you get a message from the 3rd party when signup is complete.
I'm building an app where I want users to be able click a link to open up CashApp (as well as various other P2P payment apps), as far along in the transaction as possible. My client doesn't want the app to actually handle the payments, just for it to forward along to a place to make the payment.
So, for example, I can go to venmo.com/username to open the Venmo app to a certain user's profile, which is basically enough for me. (anyone know how to include an amount or message in the url?)
But cash.app/username goes to a webpage that directs me to the App Store get the app, and doesn't even open the app on my phone if it's already downloaded.
Anyone know how to do this?
This is actually quite simple with a universal link:
https://cash.app/$username/amount
The following example will open a cash app payment of $12.50 for the user with username 'helloworld':
https://cash.app/$helloworld/12.50
To pass info to Venmo app you can use:
venmo://paycharge?txn=pay&recipients=someone&amount=9.99¬e=For%20Things
This is the url format for Venmo deeplinking:
https://venmo.com/<USER_NAME_1>,<USER_NAME_2>...?txn=<charge|pay>¬e=<NOTE>&amount=<AMOUNT>
You can read more about the url format for Venmo Deeplinking here.
##"This is actually quite simple with a universal link:

https://cash.app/$helloworld/12.50"##
I also used the same format but instead of app I used me:
https://cash.me/$username/5.00/
And when i click on the button with the as anchored:
"href="https://cash.me/$username/5.00/">"
The phone with the APP opens the payment of $5.00 with the username and the person just needs to hit send.
At this time, the ability to integrate with Cash app or accept or send Square Cash payments aren't currently available for Square’s API.
Anyone else have this problem?
I cannot sign up for an Azure account.
On the registration page, it asks for your phone number and wants to confirm it by sending a text or calling you. I only have a Google Voice number, and I always get
We were unable to verify your account
No matter if I choose text or call. There is no way around it. Any help?
EDIT: Other posts have indicated it's a problem when your country isn't listed, but that is not the case here (I'm in the U.S.). Those posts suggest calling "your local Microsoft branch" but how do I find that?
.
After reading the comments above, and calling Microsoft myself, I was told the verification process does not support Google Voice or Skype phone numbers.
The person I spoke with on the pre-sales department of Azure said he could not manually create an account for me or validate my Google Voice number, despite me sending him this question on StackOverflow showing that others had been successful in calling Microsoft as I had.
My solution was to use a friend's number and have him send me the verification code he received. However, it must be within the Azure signup's session timeout period or the code is no good.
I really hope someone at Microsoft sees this and corrects it for future customers.
I wanted to throw in a answer for Republic Wireless users who are having this problem.
I know this doesn't pertain specifically to Republic Wireless, but this is for those users, and should perhaps prove helpful, since this is the 1st result from Google on the error message.
Republic Wireless is a VoIP company, but they still use an underlying sprint phone number to handle calls/texts when you are not under WiFi, here is how to access your underlying phone number so you can get past the Windows Azure registration verification:
Open the Phone app (the standard dialer that comes with the phone).
Dial ##786#.
The number shown for Mobile Number is your Sprint number.
Hit the Back or Home button to dismiss the information screen.

I faced this exact same error. After trying different solutions, i decided to change my browser from Google Chrome to Microsoft Edge - and i was able to verify my account thereafter
I'm trying to implement some click to dial functionality as follows:
A user finds a number on a webpage (say employee extension)
Clicking that extension will dial a phone number that I've picked
Upon answering that call, I am immediately "conferenced" into
calling the number I actualy wanted to dial.
I've done something very similar using a Twilio API but want to use our corporate Cisco Call Manager capabilities instead of paying per minute for this functionality.
The WebDialerSOAP doesn't seem to be able to give me this functionality. I think doing a conference would work but can't find anything to do that. Possibly an open source call manager wrapper?
why not a FreeSWITCH server alongside the CUCM? It can set up conferences, and it's one of themost programmable products with as much control over API as you want.
It has also an RTMP module, so you can actually run a Flash-based softphone out of your browser
Use TAPI3 or JTAPI
Connect the code using TSP, and Application user
use CreateCall function to the number from HTML page with implementing the trigger.
use CreateCall to the other phone.
use Finish(FINISH_MODE.FM_ASCONFERENCE) to complete conference.
Is it possible to create a checkin by allowing a user to click on button in a html page that takes them to a share location (checkin page)?
I am thinking- something like the twitter share url?
for example-
http://foursquare.com/share/?venue_id=12345
I want this functionality in order to allow users to swipe their nfc phone on a smart tag and it loads a html page with different options
On an Android-based or iOS-based mobile device, you can use special formed URLs in order to start the Foursquare application viewing the desired venue: https://developer.foursquare.com/resources/client
The URL https://m.foursquare.com/venue/#venue_id# (e.g. https://m.foursquare.com/venue/4b477346f964a520723226e3) can either be opened by the installed Android Foursquare App or opened by a normal browser (or other Intent receivers registered for that URL).
You can further use the URL https://foursquare.com/mobile/checkin?vid=#venue_id# to get to the mobile page, where you can just press "check in" or enter a shout. By checking-in via the mobile page (and not the app), you do not get points and are not able to earn Mayorships (see Foursquare support).
But you can, for example, create your own web app that accesses the Foursquare API and performs the check-in for the OAuth'ed users. By using the HTML5 Geolocation feature, you can also send the mobile device's Lat/Lon coordinates to your web app and perform valid check-ins that also count for Mayorships, etc. A good start is Foursquare's developer page: https://developer.foursquare.com/overview/
