How does one disable telephony and silence the welcome email via the XML API

kurupv

I have a project specification that requires that I do the following on user account creation:

  • Prevent the user from having access to any telephony features
  • Silence the automated email that is sent out by the API when an account is created.

I have been scouring the XML Schema reference and cannot seem to find anything that identifies which element/attribute would allow me to accomplish the above.

Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

We are doing exactly that. Here is what we add to our XML body content to accomplish this:

<privilege>

  <teleConfCallOut>FALSE</teleConfCallOut>

  <teleConfCallIn>FALSE</teleConfCallIn>

  <teleConfTollFreeCallIn>FALSE</teleConfTollFreeCallIn>

  <teleConfCallOutInternational>FALSE</teleConfCallOutInternational>

  <teleConfCallInInternational>FALSE</teleConfCallInInternational>

  <otherTelephony>FALSE</otherTelephony>

</privilege>

<sendWelcome>FALSE</sendWelcome>

CreateUser will not automatically send a welcome email to a newly created host if the sendWelcome flag is set to FALSE.

and the telephonySupport flag set to NONE will prevent the user from having any telephony features.

Thanks Ryan. I had seen those attributes in the XML schema documentation and tried them. Maybe we didnt next the attributes correctly. I will give this another whirl.

Thanks Matt! Appreciate the code sample. Plan to test this out today.

No problem! Let me know if you have any questions. It's been reliable for us. I should specify that we are creating all of our accounts via API, if that makes any difference.
