Need Javascript Service

[waj]

Currently External Services allow a callflow to interact with other arbitrary code and storage, adding a lot of power to callflow control. However, this requires the ability to host a service, define a manifest, and other tasks that are OK for integrating with big services but very high overhead for simple scripting needs.

Verboice needs to have a way for simple logic to be implemented without that hosting overhead - I am suggesting here a project can have collection of 'Scripts' that follow the same paradigm as external services:

• One can define a set of 'Script Steps' in the UI (maybe below or alongside External Services)
• Each step is dictionary-in, dictionary-out as external services (twiml-out would be an advanced feature not needed for the moment)
• Verboice can allow you to edit the script in the web page itself using javacript subsets
• basic restrictions are put on the script to adequately sandbox and time out misbehaving scripts (eg no call outs to http?)
• User would be able to choose the icon for each step from the exiting palette.
• the script would have access to the caller phone book record to read and update variables, call metadata (channel name, phone number, MO/MT, time etc), and log information into the call detail record.

This would allow you to do basic but powerful things on variables (increments / decrements, counts, if-then-else logic, random branching, numbers-to-readout etc)

Maybe this is not something for Verboice or any particular tool - if we norm on a dict-in/dict-out convention for verboice, mbuilder, etc maybe these are just scripts you have in the 'Hub'
