Callback URLs

Callback URLs are set up globally for all PBX users and allow opening Zoho CRM or other CRM systems upon receiving or placing a call and pass parameters (static parameters or supported variables). You can set up Callback URLs to be opened for the following events: "new call", "call updated" (for example, call transfer), "call ended". When the selected event occurs, PBX makes an HTTP request to the specified URL. 

For example, http://192.168.140.4/?wildix={CALLERNAME}&cnum={CALLERNUM}&uname={USERNAME}&unum={USERNUM}&cdirection={CALLTYPE} .

Other examples of URLs:

• http://yourhost.com/?variable1={param}
• http://yourhost.com/?var1={param}&var2={param}
• http://yourhost.com/variable1/{param}

Supported variables {param}:

• {CALLERNUM} – Caller number
• {CALLERNAME} – Caller name
• {USERNUM} – User number
• {USERNAME} – User name
• {CALLTYPE} – Call Type (incoming / outgoing)
• {CHANNEL} - Call channel

Popup URL

...

examples

You can enter one or several parameters which can be passed to the specified URL.

When you receive an incoming call, the application opens the web page where the new ticket is created, fields “To”, “Subject”, “From number” are filled out automatically, where “To” and “Subject” are the static parameters entered by you and “From number” is the phone number variable entered automatically. Example:

http://www.yourhost.com/index.pl?Action=AgentTicketPhone&Subaction=StoreNew&To={CALLERNAME}&Subject=New%20Ticket%20from%20{USERNAME}&From={CALLERNUM}

Where

• http://www.yourhost.com/index.pl?Action=AgentTicketPhone&Subaction=StoreNew – is the link to create a new ticket in your web application
• To={CALLERNAME}& – is the caller name which is filled into the field “To”
• Subject=New%20Ticket%20from%20{USERNAME} – here “New%20Ticket%20from%20” “New%20Ticket%20from%20” is the static parameter entered into the field “Subject”“Subject”, {USERNAME} – is variable, for example if user name is John Doe, subject is “New Ticket from John Doe”
• From={CALLERNUM} – is the caller number which is filled into the field “From”“From”

Integration with Solve360 CRM

A call can be configured to open a contact record automatically. Example:

https://secure.solve360.com/phonenumber/0{CALLERNUM:3}

Where

• https://secure.solve360.com/ – is Solve360 CRM domain name
• phonenumber - is a way, in which we choose contact
• /0 - prepends 0 to format the number as a UK national number as stored in the CRM
• {CALLERNUM} – the caller number
• :3 – removes first three digits to match the contact record, if it is stored without Country Code

A caller's contact record is automatically opened upon receiving an incoming call.

Popup App examples

For Windows it is necessary to indicate a complete path to the executable file, and to use the special character “^” before “&”. Example:

“C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe” http://www.yourhost.com/index.pl?Action=AgentTicketPhone^&Subaction=StoreNew^&To={CALLERNAME}^&Subject=New%20Ticket%20from%20{USERNAME}^&From={CALLERNUM}

One more example:

iexplorer.exe “http://yourhost.com/param1=value1&m2=value2&variable1={CALLERNUM}”

Where

• param1 and param2 are the names of your parameters (e.g. Name, Department)
• value1 and value2 are the values for those parameters (e.g. your name – John Doe or variable {USERNAME} and your department – Support)
• variable1 is the number
• <<clid>> variable displays the actual caller / called number

iexplorer.exe “http://yourhost.com/Name={USERNAME}&Department=Support&Number={CALLERNUM}”
