RE: Need CUPC incoming phone call trigger for simple caller ID App

Our users are running Cisco Unified Personal Communicator (CUPC) Version 8.5.3 on Windows 7.
 
I would like to write a tiny app in Visual Studio using either C# or VB.net that will run in the background and wait for incoming calls. Here is how I would like it to function:
 
When an incoming call comes in, I would like my app to grab the phone number and open a web browser with that number in the URL. For example, if the incoming number was 800-553-2447, I would like it to immediately (as soon as the call arrives) launch a web browser with the following URL:
 
https://www.google.com/search?q=800-553-2447
 
That's it. This way our users will see who is calling them before they pick up the phone. In version 2 of this app, I plan on querying our billing database to see if the incoming number is assigned to a client, and if so, display all the relevant client information.
 
I looked through the API's and documentation, but could not find a good place to start. Can anyone help point me in the right direction?
 
Thanks!!

Hi Tim,
None of CUP APIs would let you do this. CUP doesnt get incoming phone call alters but will only get information from CUCM only when user has answered.

CUPC+AD integration already lets you do this right

Thanks,
