x-bees certification

To be able to use x-bees internally or to offer it to customers, it is mandatory to complete x-bees Partner Program at e-Learning platform https://e-learning.wildix.com/pages/32/certification-programs.

After you get x-bees certification, request the ability to create PBXs on WMP with x-bees licensing via Customer Care.

Licensing  

Monthly/ Yearly licenses (3-year and 5-year commitment available):

Starting from WMS 6.04.20230920.1, the relevant licenses can be assigned to users via WMS -> Users -> Edit user -> License type field. See more in PBX Licensing and Activation - Admin guide (section "Assign correct license type to each user").

Access for users and guests

Mobile apps 

Notes:

• x-bees mobile apps can be downloaded both by PBX users and guests
• x-bees mobile apps are available for users who are assigned an x-bees-Basic license or higher 
• Guests have to be previously invited to a channel by a PBX user in order to be able to engage with them in conversations

Follow the steps below:

1. Download the x-bees app from Apple store or Google Play Market
2. Log in using your Microsoft 365 or Google SSO, or via email

   • In case of login via email, a verification code will be sent to your email address, you will need to enter it to log in
     

3. For PBX users only: follow the steps below to connect to your Wildix PBX 
   1. Click on your user picture to open Settings
   2. Under Settings, click Connect to Wildix PBX
      
      
      
   3. Enter the domain name of your PBX into the input field and click Connect
      
      

Web access

From WMS:

• Go to WMS -> Users, select users and click Invite to x-bees
• Users receive an invitation via email with the link to join x-bees

Via the link:

Alternatively, PBX users can join x-bees following the steps below:

1. Open the link: https://app.x-bees.com/ 
2. Log in via Google or Microsoft 365 SSO, or by email 

   • In case of login via email, a verification code will be sent to your email address, you will need to enter it to log in
     

     Note:

     • In case user email was changed via WMS, user preserves access to x-bees conversations. 
       
       After email is changed, user gets logged out from x-bees and has to log in with the new email -> go to Settings -> connect to PBX -> log in again. In case of using an invitation link, connection to the PBX is performed automatically and conversations are available immediately, without relogin.

     • In case user email changes after the user was moved to another PBX, access to conversations is not preserved.

Currently, you can create contact-me links and add them to your website or anywhere on the web, in the following format: https://app.x-bees.com/kite/name.surname@yourdomain.com, where name.surname@yourdomain.com is your email address. 

Here's an example of what happens if an external (non-authorized) user clicks on a link:

1. User clicks Send me a message
   
2. x-bees interface opens and user starts typing a message
   
   
3. Authentication popup opens, requesting user to log in using Google/ Microsoft 365 SSO or email
   
   
4. In case user chooses to log in via email, a code is sent to their email and they need to type it
   
   
   
5. Now they can continue the conversation with the PBX user
   
   
   
   External user can invite other members to the conversation by clicking the Add member button
   
   
   
   
6. By clicking on the Back arrow next to the conversation icon from the top left-hand side of the screen, user can view all the previous conversations in which they were involved
