Automatically Open Contact URL on Incoming Calls

Yeastar provides a lightweight integration with a third-party application (such as CRM system, ERP system, etc.) to achieve call popup via custom popup URL. You can set the Linkus to automatically pop up a web page displaying contact details when your extension receives an incoming call, or manually open the contact details page during a call as needed.

Result

  • If automatic call popup is configured, when your extension receives an incoming call, a browser webpage automatically pops up based on the specified call-related events, displaying relevant customer information.
  • If manual call popup is configured, you can click the CRM label on the call window to manually open the contact's details page during a call.

Important: For the first-time use, you need to allow pop-ups and redirection in your browser, or the pop-up screen can NOT be opened automatically.
