– Block the selected contact
– Call the selected contact On Available
– Check Voicemail
– Monitor calls

CRM


Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is a widely implemented model for managing a company’s interactions with customers, clients, and sales prospects. It involves using technology to organize, automate, and synchronize business processes: sales activities, marketing, customer service, and technical support. Communicator offers implementation with your CRM system and it will make it even more efficient.

Communicator 4.x is compatible with several Customer Relationship Management solutions. We now support Salesforce, SugarCRM, Zoho, and Zendesk.

For example, if you have a CRM with all of your customers’ information in it (names, phone numbers, addresses etc.) set up for working with Communicator:

When an inbound call comes into Communicator it will pass the Caller ID to your CRM, the system will match it with your customer’s entry, and your default web browser will be launched with information about that customer.

1. CRM

Choose when you want to launch the CRM customer page.
Options:

-When I answer the call
-When I receive a call

Logging options

Here you can choose whether you want to use logging options from the server or you want to configure which details to log. Logging options are useful if you notice some unexpected behavior so you can check log files for more information. Options:

  • Use settings from the server
  • Log inbound calls
  • Log outbound calls
  • Log answered calls
  • Log unanswered calls
  • Upload recordings

When integrated with any of the aforementioned CRMs, Communicator will synchronize CRM contacts and display them in the CRM contacts tab.

 

2. Call Popup

Call Popup module can be used to push the call details to browser-driven third-part software. It allows integration between the phone systen and a web based service, supported or non-supported. Its macro based URL provides great flexibility as it allows opening of a web page in default web browser, based on call details.

Custom information is represented by macros in the URL. Once the URL is used during a call, the macros will be replaced with corresponding information from the call. For every URL request, except in silent mode, a website matching the URL will be shown in the browser.

NOTE: Popups do not work for local calls. In the URL field, the following macros can be used:

%callerid% – Remote phone number
%callerid_name% – Remote party name
%ext% – Local extension
%duration% – Duration of the call
%callid% – Call ID
%direction% – Inbound or Outband

In the silent mode, the URL request will silently be sent to the server.
