  1. Looks like you need to click "call"everytime you do this, which kinda beats the purpose of using alfred to do it... 

     

    You can just click enter as it's the default action.

     

    Look up Contact

    Pick the phone number and press enter and the facetime pop up in the top right opens up

    Press Enter again

  2. Edit : Updated this to make more sense

     

    We use Ringcentral at work but the RingCentral app for Mac is horrible, IMO. I've been playing around with the API where you pass variables in the URL and it will dial the phone number for you. 

    See below for the example of what it looks like:

    Note: The URL is correct I've changed all my values. 
    
    https://service.ringcentral.com/ringout.asp?cmd=call&username=8005551212&ext=123&password=password123&to={query}&from=4155551212&prompt=0

    Now I can get this to work, for the most part, from doing the following.

     

    1. Go to features
    2. Click Contacts
    3. Click the + for custom actions
    4. Field = Phone
    5. Action = Pass to URL Scheme
    6. Then I put the above line in the next box

    This works. I use Alfred to look up my contact, click the phone number and it opens up a web page, passes the URL complete and dials the phone.

     

    Two Issues I have that I hope I can get some help with : 

    1. I really would rather not have a browser open. Is there a way that something can be done behind the scenes without the browser opening to pass the URL (this might be a dumb question but I figured I would ask).
    2. RingCentral, for some reason, even though I'm passing my credentials via the URL still wants me to have a session cookie in the browser otherwise I get an invalid username and password. Seems kind of strange but it might be a RingCentral limitation. 

    Thanks for the help

    PS. While I love this program it's absolutely killing me trying to find new ways to use Alfred to improve my daily work.  :)
