Phone dialer macro for Pexip Service registered endpoints calling via BYOC with dial string prefix normalization logic for in country dialing.
The version below is currently configured for calls within the United States, including dial strings starting with 1, 91, 9).
The prefix normalization ensures that dialed SIP audio call’s actual dial string that is sent to the Pexip Service and the BYOC carrier/voice environment correctly is converted to +1 (or whatever country code that is configured to match BYOC rules).
For international calls it assumes end users will dial + and the country code (basically anything that doesn’t match the specified in country dialing pattern specified).
In line 35 of the macro, change the
const AUDIO_DOMAIN = '@pexip_service_domain.com' to whichever domain your is used by your endpoints for SIP registration to the Pexip Service.
If you aren’t using on an endpoint in the United States, on line 31 change the 1|91|9 in const REGEXP_NUMERICDIALERLOCAL = /^(1|91|9)?(\d{10})$/ to whatever in country or local dial prefixes might exist, and change on line 34 the +1 in const DIALPREFIX_LOCAL = '+1' to the desired in country prefix to match the configured Pexip Service BYOC prefix.
And for any dial strings that don’t match the regex logic (for example if some other symbol other than + was used for the prefix, or if the dial string is too long) the macro won’t even attempt the call, but instead will reload the dial interface and display the message “You typed in an invalid number. Please try again”
Currently the macro uses the below stock Cisco phone icon/button and has a greenish teal color.
The button UI extension is built into the macro.
Here’s a screenshot of the dial interface. You can edit the labels and instructional language in the macro to be whatever you want.
And, here’s the macro! Enjoy!
(Big thank yous to Nick Warfield and Kevin Roarty for help with the logic and cleanup of the macro!)
