Using Microsoft Outlook
Incoming Calls
Note If you setup a rule to trigger on "When Ringing", you may NOT want to have the action automatically open a Contact or Journal because it will do this for every matching call whether you are present or not. So, if while you're away from your desk, you have missed 20 outside calls that rang on your phone, you could have 20 different Contact screens and 20 Journal screens popped up on your PC screen. A better alternative is to have your "When Ringing..." trigger use Pop User Options instead of the Open Contact or Add Contact or Add Journal options. Now, when a call is ringing on your phone, a small "User Options" window will pop up showing the Contacts that match the phone number (if any) as well as buttons that let you manually "Open/Add Contact" or "Add Journal".
With this, you can see the information about who is calling and then can manually open a Contact or Journal. If opening a contact/journal manually is not desirable, you could also have a 2nd 'trigger/action' so that when you "Answered" a call it would automatically open a Contact and/or Journal as desired.
