  • Publication number: 20240236020
    Abstract: A software as a service (SaaS) platform sends, to an end user device, a message of a messaging conversation between the end user device and a first client device associated with a first user account of the SaaS platform. The message is associated with a first telephone number provisioned by the SaaS platform. The messaging conversation is associated with a messaging conversation identifier. The end user device is associated with a second telephone number. The first client device is associated with a third telephone number. a first request to place a voice call is received, via a first application programming interface (API) call from the first client device, based on the messaging conversation identifier. Responsive to receiving the first request, the voice call to the second telephone number is placed. The voice call is associated with the first telephone number provisioned by the SaaS platform.

  • Publication number: 20240113992
    Abstract: A first request to place a voice call is received via a first application programming interface (API) call from a first client device associated with a first user account of a communication services platform. The first request includes a messaging conversation identifier that identifies a messaging conversation. Messaging conversation data associated with the messaging conversation identifier and stored in a data store is obtained. The messaging conversation data identifies participants of the messaging conversation. A recipient of the voice call is identifying, among participants of the messaging conversation, based on filter criteria. The voice call is placed to a telephone number of an end user device associated with the recipient.

  • Publication number: 20060030714
    Abstract: This invention relates to a new process for the preparation of novel substituted haloarene compounds of the formula I or IV: respectively, wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, X, and Y are as defined herein, that comprises a novel and efficient selective mono-lithiation of a dihaloarene of the formula II or V: respectively, by an organo-lithium compound in the presence of a carbonyl reactant of the formula III: wherein R1 and R2 are as defined herein. In the process of the instant invention, the newly formed lithiated haloarene is sequentially quenched in situ by the carbonyl reactant to form said substituted haloarene. The process is suitable for batch or continuous flow systems.
