SOLGARI CLOUD BUSINESS COMMUNICATION SERVICES CLOUD CONTACT CENTRE MICROSOFT DYNAMICS INTEGRATION APRIL 2015
Microsoft Dynamics CRM Integration The Solgari CRM Integration module provides out of the box integration between Microsoft Dynamics CRM and our Cloud Contact Centre application. This integration allows showing a screen pop-up with the contact information on inbound calls, and launching outbound calls to your contacts directly from the Microsoft Dynamics CRM web interface. 1. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS Solgari Cloud Contact Centre module subscription for the number of users you require 3CX Soft Phone installed and running (provided with the Solgari subscription) Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 / 2013 (4.0 support provided AS is) 2. INSTALLING THE MICROSOFT DYNAMICS CRM INTEGRATION The Integration requires a soft client and an associated integration plug-in. Solgari use 3CX Soft Phone and the associated plug-in. Solgari will provide you with a download link to the setup file. 3. CONFIGURING THE MICROSOFT DYNAMICS CRM PLUGIN You can enable Microsoft Dynamics CRM integration by checking the Enable Microsoft Dynamics Plugin option. If you also want to automatically register call information in the contact s activity history, you must check the Store Call Information in the Microsoft Dynamics options section.
Now, you need to fill the Login Information section with your Microsoft Dynamics CRM user account information. There are 4 authentication methods available: On Premise Select this option when your Microsoft Dynamics CRM is configured to use integrated Active Directory authentication IFD Select this option when your Microsoft Dynamics CRM is configured as an Internet Facing deployment Windows Live Select this option if you have a Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online subscription and you login using your Windows Live account Office365 Select this option if you have a Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online subscription and you login using your Office 365 account Depending on the selected authentication method, you can configure your account with different settings. For example, when you select On Premise authentication, you may choose to use current user credentials, or specify credentials for another user. When using Windows Live or Office365 authentication, you just need to specify your user name, password and location.
You can change the maximum digit length to compare to the Contact Lookup section. When an inbound call arrives into your extension, the caller ID may have different formats. It could have an international format (including the country code), national format (including the region or city code), or local format (including only the local number). Also, you may have created your contact s phone numbers in Microsoft Dynamics CRM with prefixes that are not present in the caller ID, such as mobile phone prefixes. In order to match the caller ID with the contact s phone in these cases, you need to specify this parameter. The system will compare the last number digits of the caller ID with the last number digits of your contact s phone number, where any number is the specified maximum digit length to compare. Usually this parameter should be the length of your local number. With a higher number you get more accuracy, but you may possibly not match the caller ID with some contact. With a lower number you get less accuracy (with possible false positives), minimizing the possibility of a no match. Finally, you can choose to look for contact information in the Contacts, Leads and / or Accounts tables, and select the lookup order in these tables. 4. LAUNCHING CALLS FROM MICROSOFT DYNAMICS CRM You can add customizations to your Microsoft Dynamics CRM in order to easily launch calls directly from the web interface.
