Click 2 Call, call, call...

One of the most frequently asked questions seen in the adhearsion mailing list and chat room is “how do I send a call from my Rails application?” To answer this, I’ll show you several different approaches from start to finish, including using DRB from a Rails application, or running an HTTP API in your adhearison app that can be triggered from any framework.

Hopefully one of the options will inspire you to build something cool!
