Introduction to didML?

didML is an acronym for Cebod Telecom Markup Language. didML defines a set of rules for encoding phone calls. You can use the programming language of your choice and by following instructions as laid by didML you can initiate and control Calls in real-time.

Here is how it works:-

• Say you have configured 9998887777 to http://www.example.com/call.php

• When someone calls 9998887777 Cebod Telecom will then.

• Cebod Telecom looks for instructions from example.com/call.php

• Your web server will respond with the set of instructions that the phone system will execute. It will communicate with the user as the user responds to prompts by pressing keys on the phone.

• Example didML Code
