Asterisk manager Example: Applescript

Asterisk Manager Example: Applescript

Dialing the Phone from OS X Addressbook using Applescript only!!

(Well “Expect” too but that’s part of the OS so we won’t worry too much about that!)

copy the code below into applescript and then save it into ~/Library/Address Book Plug-Ins/ you’ll have to modify some of the vars in the script to match your env and yes I could have put them in a prefs file but.. I didn’t so sue me! :p
