Introduction
The Cisco Unity Connection Notification Interface (CUNI) API is a web service interface for managing subscriptions to events from Cisco Unity Connection systems. It provides a way to get asynchronous notifications when voice mail messages are received, deleted, or changed. CUNI can be used to integrate Connection into an existing enterprise-wide portal.
CUNI is designed to provide a simple, stable method of accessing the notification functionality on Connection systems through a standards based interface using XML and HTTPS.
Through CUNI, you can do the following:
- Subscribe for message events
- Subscribe for one or many users on a single channel
Note: All the above functions associated with CUNI API support both the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. However, the IPv6 address works only when Connection platform is configured in Dual (IPv4/IPv6) mode.
Note that CUNI is intended for use in server-to-server applications where receiving notifications for many users over a single connection is required. As such, it is designed to handle a small number of clients that are each subscribing for notifications on a large set of subscribers. It also requires Administrative credentials, making it inappropriate for browser applications to use directly.
CUNI is composed of two parts: a SOAP interface for subscribing, and an asynchronous piece (the Notifier) that delivers events as XML over HTTP.
