JPT URL Protocol
JPT can be told to dial (or add a number to the Quick Dial Numbers) from a webpage (or any application that supports URLs) by using the “jpt:” URL scheme. Note: URLs must be fully encoded with percent escapes such as “%20” for each blank space. If the computer does not have JPT installed, clicking on the link will either do nothing or lead the user to a page that says the link cannot be opened because the OS doesn’t recognize Internet addresses starting with “jpt:”.

Dial a number:
Using this code:
<a href="jpt://dial?number=212-555-1212">Dial 212-555-1212</a>
will create this link that, when clicked, will cause JPT to dial 212-555-1212 using the current Dialing Rules:

Dial a number with a name parameter:
Using this code:
<a href="jpt://dial?number=212-555-1212&name=NYC%20Information">Dial NYC Information</a>
will create this link that, when clicked, will cause JPT to dial 212-555-1212 with the name “NYC Information” using the current Dialing Rules:

Dial a number with name and literal parameters:
Using this code:
<a href="jpt://dial?number=212-555-1212&name=NYC%20Information&literal=TRUE">Dial NYC Information</a>
will create this link that, when clicked, will cause JPT to dial 212-555-1212 with the name “NYC Information” without applying the current Dialing Rules:
Dial NYC Information

Add a name and number to the JPT Quick Dial Numbers:
Using this code:
