SNC namespace.
Notify - call(String notifyPhoneNumber, String toPhoneNumber, GlideRecord conferenceCall, GlideRecord conferenceCallRecord, String userSysId, String groupSysId, GlideRecord sourceRecord)

Ensure this workflow includes a join conference call activity to connect the user to the conference call. |
| toPhoneNumber | String | Phone number to call. Called numbers are added to the conference call. |
| conferenceCall | GlideRecord | Optional. If this parameter is passed in, the callers identified in the
toPhoneNumber parameter are automatically joined into the
conference call identified by this record. GlideRecord for the Notify Call [notify_call] table that identifies the conference call record. This record is automatically added to the outgoing call workflow scratchpad as the workflow.scratchpad.conference_call variable. |
| userSysId | String | Optional. Unique identifier (sys_id) of the user associated with the call. |
| groupSysId | String | Optional. Unique identifier (sys_id) of the group associated with the call. |
