System and method for controlling advanced triggering operations in a telecommunication network

A server computing device comprising:

• a processor configured with processor-executable instructions to perform operations comprising:
• receiving a trigger communication message from a source device, the trigger communication message including information suitable for causing a destination device to automatically establish a connection to the source device to communicate application level information;
• receiving policy information from a component in a telecommunication network;
• using the received policy information to determine whether the destination device should automatically establish the connection to the source device to communicate the application level information;
• sending the received trigger communication message to the destination device in response to determining in the server computing device, based on the received policy information, that the destination device should automatically establish the connection to the source device to communicate the application level information.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored thereon processor-executable software instructions configured to cause a processor to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a trigger communication message from a source device, the trigger communication message including information suitable for causing a destination device to automatically establish a connection to the source device to communicate application level information;
• receiving the policy information from a component in a telecommunication network;
• using the received policy information to determine whether the destination device should automatically establish the connection to the source device to communicate the application level information;
• sending the received trigger communication message to the destination device in response to determining in the server computing device, based on the received policy information, that the destination device should automatically establish the connection to the source device to communicate the application level information.
