The JS node lets you add a small snippet of JavaScript code to your call flows to do things like process tags and call information. The JS Node supports the ES5 version of JavaScript.

The JavaScript you include in a JS node lets you perform simple calculations and string manipulations. Unlike parsing JS parsing steps in ring tree targets, JS nodes in call flows are not functions, and do not require the code to return anything. Advanced JS functionality is not supported.

Note: The JS node is included in your subscription, but is not available by default. Contact Ringba support to enable JS node for your Ringba account.

• Node Name: Enter a label to appear at the top of the node on the canvas. This information is also  helpful for identifying nodes in the Call Details Report.
  Tip: Enter a descriptive name to help you differentiate this dial node from other JS nodes when you are troubleshooting or reviewing the reporting later.
• Script: The JS snippet to execute.
