Glossary
Trigger
Signals that respond to incoming contacts at a specified route point by selecting telephony and media 
resources to serve the contact and invoking application scripts to handle it. The Cisco CRS system uses 
JTAPI triggers to start responses to telephone calls and HTTP triggers to start responses to HTTP 
requests. In these cases, telephone numbers and Web addresses (associated with the triggers) act as the 
triggers.
TTS
