Henrik Brattlie, Manag-E Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 We would like to have the ability to trigger the raising of new requests from incoming calls from external telephony systems. When a call is received by the service desk telephony system, the system should be able to raise a request for the operator who accepts that call on his or her soft phone or phone application. The callers number should be matched against the customer data in Hornbill to fill in the Customer-field. The external systems could be systems like Trio, Avaya, Asterisk and Skype. A generic CTI is much preferred, but our current requirement is Skype. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m.vandun Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 We would like to have this integration as well. Regards, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Ainsworth Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Thanks for your posts. You may have seen on the latest release notes that we made some minor changes to the customer's phone number so that you can make an outbound Skype call from a request. I will post back to the team to ask about inbound CTI integration possibilities. Regards, James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Giller Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Hi @James Ainsworth That sounds extremely useful; does this work with sip addresses too? We're moving away from traditional extension numbers where possible so an increasing number of staff are contactable only via their sip address (in our case this is the same as their email) If so, do I just stick that address into the "Phone" attribute on the import, or is it not that simple? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tested quite some time ago having a custom field set against a user with the URL for wiki markup with [[sip:EmailAddress]] inside the url, but never got it to work properly. We are in the process of moving everyone from Lync to Skype for Business so it would be a big benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn Houghton Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 We are using Skype4B and would be interested in using incoming CTI to retrieve matching contacts and allow drill down of existing requests as well as log new ones. Following the recent Service Manager Build 942, we are bow able to 'click and dial' using Skype from the customer section on the request screen.

Henrik Brattlie, Manag-E Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 Hello Hornbill-team! Any news on implementing CTI?

Steve Giller Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 We no longer use numbers internally, we use the email address as the Skype4B contact - is there a way (if not, will there) to 'dial' via Skype by clicking on what would appear to be an email link?

Darren Rose Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 + 1 for this functionality too. Being able to use Skype for business to search a users ticket history, as well as allow the option to raise a new from their record would be extremely useful and improve the overall experience for End User and Service desk Staff alike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clampj Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 +1 for CTI integration I investigated this when we used to use Supportworks. At the time we were using a Cisco VOIP system and a 3rd party driver called InGenius. Worked fine for the outgoing calls (when clicking a custom button next to a phone field) but for some reason the incoming call would only pass the number through to SupportWorks about once every 20/30 times so the caller resolution didnt work most of the time Neither InGenius or Hornbill could get to the bottom of it so I gave up. Something that we would very much like to do though! We're now on Service Manager and using Mitel as our VOIP solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
