Making Calls using Connector

Connector provided two methods for making phone calls.

  • Enter the phone number you wish to call in the Quick Dial field ( 2 ).
  • Press the enter key.

Click to Call

  • Access the Connector app as previously defined.
  • Open the web page that contains the desired phone number you wish to call. (Example: SalesForce, Zoho, Gmail)
  • All phone numbers in the web page will appear as a link and/or have a Connector icon next to it, based on how you have configured the app.

Note: If the number is not displayed as a link and/or there is no icon displayed to click on, check for one of the following conditions:

  • You may no longer be logged into the Connector App.
  • In setting the Logo click to call and/or Link click to call options are not turned on. See below on how to configure these features.

The Connector makes the call.

In order for Connector to make a phone it must first have you access your Desktop or Soft phone. To do this Connector will first call your phone then proceed to make the phone call.

  • Once you have triggered the Quick Call or Click to Call methods the Connector will call your Desktop or Soft phone.
  • Once you answer your phone, Connector will call the outbound number.

How to Configure Sangoma Connector

Configuring the Screen Pop App.

  • Access the Connector app as previously defined.
  • In the upper right corner of the Connector app, click on the Screen Pop app.dropdown ( 3 ) to select which app Connector will use to search for incoming call contact info. ( CRM Contacts, Google Contacts, etc..). For a complete list of supported apps reference the Sangoma Connector Supported CRM & Web Applications article.

Standard apps.

For example if you pick Google, each time you receive a call while logged into Connector, https://app.hubspot.com/contacts/123456780

CRM or Custom Apps.

Many CRMs use a customized URL (domain name includes a company name or customer Number). In these cases, Sangoma will enable a special Screen Pop link coded just for your company.

For example Hubspot requires a URL with your customer number. Sangoma will set that up with a coded name or including your customer ID. If your URL is https://app.hubspot.com/contacts/123456780 it may be saved as Hubspot123456780

Please contact your Sales Representative, Sangoma Support, or your Sangoma Partner for more information.
