Microsoft Lync and Skype for Business have a rich set of .NET APIs which make it easy to extend the platform and integrate it with other applications. This blog helps explain how to use those APIs.

Getting rerouted messages to the right UCMA endpoint

One of the great things you can do with the Lync Server SDK is reroute calls to a UCMA application. Your MSPL script or managed SIP application can intercept any call that goes through the Front End Server (or any SIP request or response, more generally) and send it to a UCMA application you’ve written, rather than the originally intended recipient. Your application can then handle the request, and proxy it through to the destination, or block it, or do something else entirely. There are more uses for this than I can possibly describe here: recording, call filtering, auto-attendants, compliance, call billing, you name it.

Typically in a case like this the UCMA application has a default routing endpoint so that it will answer all of these calls that have a To SIP URI that doesn’t belong to the application. But what if you don’t want all rerouted calls to go to a single endpoint? What if you need to have a number of endpoints in your application – let’s say one for recording and another for call filtering – and your Lync Server SDK application needs to somehow specify which of the endpoints the rerouted call should go to?
