      http://[URL_integration]? Token = [TOKEN_COMANDI] & service = do_integration & integration_name = vTiger

Where [URL_integration] and [TOKEN_COMANDI] are values ​​that depend on the creation of the integration module that will report to vTiger on UCLoud (see next paragraph)

 

Configure the module for managing the VTiger integration on UCloud

In the UCloud switchboard that will be integrated with VTiger, it is also necessary to create an integration module in the Configuration–> Company–> Integration section such as to make it possible to connect the switchboard itself to the customer’s VTiger installation.

The new module must have the following characteristics:

  1. Name = VTiger;
  2. Enabled = Yes;
  3. Integration module = select “Vtiger” from the drop-down menu;
  4. User events = select the events for the management of the call that will allow the opening of the pop-up on incoming calls and the recording of calls in the CRM reporting:
    1. Incoming call;
    2. Outgoing call;
    3. Lost call;
    4. Call answered;
    5. Call rejected;
  5. Select users = select the users to be integrated with the switchboard (for which the extensions were added in the first step of this guide);
  6. Commands Enabled = Yes.

After giving the OK to create the module configured as above, click on the “magnifying glass” icon on the new module to find the values ​​necessary to complete the URL of the previous paragraph (URL to Notify); in the list of settings you will have:

  1. [Integration_URL] = Integration URL
  2. [TOKEN_COMANDI] = Token commands;

Finally, click on the gear icon to configure the last two interface parameters between UCloud and VTiger, so that:

  1. VTiger secret = Vtiger secret key that you find in the configuration of the Gateway Phone Call on VTiger;
  2. VTiger URL = URL accessed to log into VTiger (of the type mycompany.vtiger.com).
