Overview

Computer telephony integration allows you to integrate Readysell into your existing phone system to:

Record information about ingoing and outgoing calls
Initiate phone calls from the customer's card in Readysell
Make phone book data (names and phone numbers) to your telephone for caller ID and outbound dialling

This is not only a convenience, but can be used to better track customer interactions, staff phone usage and improve your customer's experience.

Prerequisites

Call tracking

To use call tracking, you will need a PBX system that supports SMDR (Station Messaging Detail Record) and can transmit a CDR (Call Detail Record) over TCP.

Dialling

To enable outbound dialling from Readysell, you will need software that interfaces with TAPI (Telephony Application Programming Interface) and have the relevant provider installed and configured on each Readysell PC.

Phone book

To enable phone book data, you will need a Yealink handset.
