Last Updated : Mar 06, 2020 |

SiriKit is a new framework developed by Apple, which you can use to make calls by using voice commands on Avaya Workplace Client for iOS.

Avaya Workplace Client for iOS supports the SiriKit framework on iOS 11 and later versions. The SiriKit framework is enabled by default.

You can use the following voice commands with Siri:

  • Call <Local contact> with Avaya Workplace Client for iOS.

  • Call <phone number> with Avaya Workplace Client for iOS.

  • Call my next meeting with Avaya Workplace Client for iOS.

  • Dial next meeting with Avaya Workplace Client for iOS.

  • Video call <Local contact> on Avaya Workplace Client for iOS.

  • Video call my next meeting with Avaya Workplace Client for iOS.

  • Call my virtual room on Avaya Workplace Client for iOS with video.

You can use Siri to call only local contacts by using Avaya Workplace Client for iOS.

Siri functionality

If you have:

  • Overlapping meetings in your calendar, Avaya Workplace Client calls the first meeting in the meeting list that has the Click to Join button.

  • Two contacts with the same first name in the contacts list, Avaya Workplace Client calls the contact that you created first.

    To avoid this situation, use the full name or nick name to call a specific contact. For example, Call Brian Smith with Avaya Workplace Client.

  • Multiple virtual rooms, Avaya Workplace Client calls your default virtual room.

  • A contact with multiple phone numbers, Avaya Workplace Client selects the first number in the list for that contact.
