Through URL calling, third-party systems such as POS platforms, building management tools, queue management, or digital signage can initiate actions in the audio environment — such as starting playlists, adjusting volume levels, or switching content zones — based on real-time events.
This guide will show you how to create a Sensor Action and integrate URL calling.
