This example creates and launches a simple text-to-speech broadcast using the ExtCreateBroadcast function.

PowerShell - ExtCreateBroadcast.ps1

# ===========================================================================================================================
#
#   Send a voice-only broadcast (an announcement) with the name 'Test of Emergency' to the Emergency contacts group outside of the
#   calling window.  The broadcast should launch immdediately with the text-to-speech message of 'Please call the emergency bridge
#   line as soon as possible, we are having an outage.' 
#    
#   To do this, we'll make use of the ExtCreateBroadcast_AD function (shown below), passing it six parameters: 
#   
#   ExtCreateBroadcast_AD 'Test of Emergency' Emergency 1 0 '' 'Please call the emergency bridge line as soon as possible, we are having an outage'
#
#   The ExtCreateBroadcast_AD function's full list of parameters is described in the example code below.
