MagiCall for Dummies!

[AndrewL]

Hi

I'm currently trialling MagiCall, and it seems very powerful - but I wonder if it's TOO powerful for my small brain!

I think I've set up some sensible rules, but I'm not clear - for example - whether Action2 is triggered in all circumstances?  The User Guide mentions it explicitly under "Pass on to next rule" - presumably that doesn't mean it is only executed if this condition is met?

Is there a guide in Dummy language for people like me - or maybe some example Rules that I could understand and modify for my own use?

I think MagiCall could be very useful - but I'm not sure I'm able to get the best out of it!

Thanks!

Action2 runs when rule type and filter type are met. "Pass on to next rule" is used to combine more than one Action2 only.
That means, when you want to send email as well as sending SMS, create two rules with a same rule type and filter type, but with different Action2 (one for sending SMS, the other for sending email)

See the following example:

Rule type: Incoming Call
Filter type: Unknown Number
Action1: Pass on to next rule
Action2: Send SMS
To: 1234567890
Message: blah, blah, blah


Rule type: Incoming Call
Filter type: Unknown Number
Action1: Hang up
Action2: Send Email
To: test@yahoo.com
Message: blah, blah, blah


There is no guide in dummy language. But I will try to make one if does not take much time. Thanks.
