• Busy

The call will be forwarded if your extension is busy. The caller receives a busy signal and will then be forwarded to the defined destination.

Please note that if this forwarding condition is active, it will influence the call destination on Global DND. That means that Global DND will have the same call forwarding destination as defined here.

• No answer

The call will be forwarded if you do not answer within a defined time limit. The caller receives a waiting signal and will then be forwarded to the defined destination.

The time limit can be set to 5, 10, 15 or 20 seconds by clicking on the number dropdown.

Dialling

CRM Connect offers you various outbound calling methods.

This dialling methods displays a dial icon for a field containing a phone number.

The field must be selected first or be in "focus" for the dial icon to appear.

Clipboard dialling enables quick dialling by selecting and copying telephone numbers.
A dial pop-up prompt automatically appears when the number is copied to the Windows clipboard, either by keyboard or by mouse clicks – simply click the phone icon to make the call.

ScreenRead dialling allows any telephone number visible in Windows applications, documents, email signatures or images containing phone numbers to be dialled.

– Position the mouse cursor over the number to dial and hold CTRL+SHIFT to activate the "capture" box.

The "capture" box will automatically convert anything that appears to be a telephone number into a click-to-dial button.

Browser Extension

Web dialling enables you to make outbound calls directly from a web browser.

1. Select a web browser extension to install.

2. Configure dialling directly from a web page for Edge, Opera, Chrome or Firefox.

Enable TAPI-compatible application to assist with dialling:

– Enable TAPI driver (dial only), "CallTo" protocol handler, or TAPI request handler.

TAPI driver ( dial only): This option is more commonly used than TAPI request handler, as is the case with CRMs such as Goldmin, ACT! and other desktop-based platforms. This selection is for CRM systems that support TAPI drivers via the phone and modem options on the PC. In compatible CRM systems, such as Goldmine, the UC TAPI driver can be selected from the application to initiate an outgoing call from the CRM system via CRM Connect.

CallTo protocol handler: By enabling this option, CRM Connect automatically recognises the CallTo protocol that is formatted accordingly (e.g. CallTo:[0123456789]) to initiate acall via CRM Connect.

TAPI request handler: This is used far less frequently than the TAPI driver. This feature supports CRMs that make a request to "ialer.exe. There is no configuration within the CRM, but CRM Connect creates a registry setting in dialer.exe to use CRM Connect for outbound calls.

Under the Advanced tab, you will find the following:

• application-specific version details
• language settings for the CRM Connect menu
• customer feedback option which, once selected, will enable communication of anonymous data to help improve the product
• application logs that contain details about the software configuration
