x-bees Mobile User Guide

Introduction

x-bees Mobile app and the Web version share the same codebase and the same set of features. 

Download the x-bees app by Wildix from Apple Store or Google Play market.

Mobile apps requirements

• Android 9 or higher
• iOS 13.3 or higher

Notes:

• No way to send SMS messages and Faxes via x-bees
• No way to listen to Voicemails and Call recordings, but you receive a copy via email
• Access to the web version and mobile apps of x-bees is available starting from the x-bees-Basic license

Login

• Log in using Google or Microsoft SSO

Make sure you are connected to the Wildix PBX:

1. Tap your user picture in the upper left-hand part of the screen
2. Under Settings, tap Connect to Wildix PBX
3. Make sure that the PBX domain name is entered into the field

Upon first login, you are requested to provide necessary permissions, e.g. access to microphone, camera and allow notifications:

In case notifications are not allowed, after 2 days users are prompted to enable notification settings. If notifications remain disabled, there are subsequent reminders after 7 days and then every 14 days.

Settings

The Settings described below are available for the PBX users (for users connected to a Wildix PBX).

• Tap your user picture to access Settings

User Picture

• Tap your user picture to upload a new picture or use your camera to make a new one

User Status and Status message

• Under Status, tap on your current user status (e.g. Available) and select a new one

• To set a status message, tap Set a status, indicate the message, select date and time to clear (optional) and tap Save
  
  

Notifications 

• Under Settings, tap Notifications and enable notifications for personal and group conversations.
  • Note, that Web and Mobile notifications are managed separately and there is no sync between them; to enable notifications on Web, consult x-bees Web User Guide

Also, here you can manage notifications played when a conference starts. By default, it is enabled.

Call forwarding settings

• Under Settings, tap Calls and set up call forwarding rules for every Call class

Inbound services ("Contact center")

The contact center feature present in Wildix Collaboration is available in x-bees and allows you to view the available services (call groups) and dynamically log in/ log out from them:

1. Under Status, enable Inbound services
2. Enable the switch next to Inbound service requests: the switch allows you to dynamically join the inbound services (call groups)
3. Under Inbound services: enable those services (call groups from your PBX) that you would like to join as a call agent (in this menu you cannot change the status in services, to which you were added statically via WMS)
   
   

Integrations 

On the Integrations screen, you can see the list of connected integrations and their status. Some integrations many need authorization. In this case, there is the button Activate in front of the relevant integrations. Integrations that are connected and do not require authorization are displayed as Active.  

In case there is an integration that is not active for a user and requires authorisation, a notification pops up that leads to Settings -> Integrations tab, where the user can activate the integration. The notification is displayed when opening Info frame with inactive integrations or when using the search.

If you do not want the notifications to be displayed, in Settings -> Integrations, disable the option Allow notifications:

The number next to the tab name (for the tabs 1-1, Group, External) corresponds to the number of unread messages in conversations of the relevant tab.

On the All tab, there is no unread message counter - the total number of unread messages is displayed on the Inbox as before. When the new message is received, the counter gets active (blue). In case the tab was opened, but all new messages were not read, the counter becomes grey.  

Calls

You can dial any internal or external number. You can search your Colleagues directory and your shared Phonebooks contacts.

  • Note: You can also choose another device registered to your account, including Web x-bees, hardware phones (WP, W-AIR), W-AIR Headsets. Outgoing and incoming calls are received on the selected device, until another device is chosen. 
• Callback: you instantly receive a callback to your mobile number from the Wildix PBX and then the outbound call to the destination is generated
• Mobile: generates a call via your mobile phone using your SIM card operator
