Dial out via FM on a Mac

[Kent Searight]

Hi all,

Does anyone know how to get FM 8 or 8.5 on a Mac to dial out via a VOIP service? Is there a plug-in? I searched the web but came up with nothing helpful.

Thanks in advance!

I think you would use a Open URL[] script step, with a callto:// URL prefix?

Take a look at this:

I think it will dial using just about anything

Hi Michael,

You are unbelievable! Where do you come up with all this knowledge? I searched like crazy before posting my question and I came up with nill, zilch, nada! Is this technique documented anywhere (other than here, of course)?

Many thanks for helping out on this one. I was pretty sure after I did a search for this and came up with nothing that I'd be going back to the client and telling him "no can do" (and I really don't like to do that).

It should be documented by your VOIP service provider, at least. That's how you would provide a link on your site for people to call you - same as mailto: for sending mail. It has nothing to do with Filemaker.
