A method and system enable the automatic generation of a call processing control
record. A user creates a schedule entry comprising a plurality of data entries
on an electronic scheduler. The data entries are transmitted from the electronic
scheduler to a call processing control record generator. The data entries are compared
with stored data. In response to the data entries, the call processing control
record generator generates a call processing control record which can be stored
in a call processing control record database. The call processing control record
can be used to forward calls or transmit an announcement to the calling party.
