Configurators
FullSWITCH and PowerSWITCH contain a wide array of built-in tools that allow you to email and FTP files and more… On top of that they also contain configurators; each configurator allows you to setup and automate a third-party application from within ever leaving the SWITCH application.
Keep in mind that these are not the only applications you can use with SWITCH; you can use any hotfolder enabled application in both FullSWITCH and PowerSWITCH. In PowerSWITCH you can use scripting to integrate applications as well. The Application Library page has list of applications and how they can be used in SWITCH.
This page lists the supported configurators and indicates which version of the third-party applications you need in order to use the configurator successfully. For more in-depth platform specific information, read the system requirements for FullSWITCH and PowerSWITCH.
