Screen Popping

Identifying a customer before a call gets answered and using that information to automatically find and load their contact details is one of the primary requirements of computer telephony integration.  Automating this process vastly reduces the amount of time your employees spend finding out who a customer is and instead means they can get straight to helping the customer with their enquiry.

Caller ID Screen Popping

The simplest way of identifying a customer and screen popping their details is using their caller ID.  Phone Client supports screen popping with caller ID out of the box on the following platforms:

  • AS400/iSeries (Keystroke Macro)
  • Goldmine
  • Gold Vision
  • Logical Office
  • Maximizer
  • Microsoft Applications:
    • Internet Explorer
    • Outlook
    • Access
    • Dynamics CRM
    • Dynamics NAVISION
    • Windows address book
    • SQL Database via ODBC
  • OfficeTalk
  • Sage
    • ACT!
    • Sage CRM
    • SalesLogix CRM
  • Salesforce.com
  • Sugar CRM
  • Tigerpaw CRM

 For a full list of features and version support and integration compatibility please look here

Setting up screen popping with any of these applications is a simple process once Phone Client is installed.  A professional license is required to use the Phone Client screen popping features.

For screen popping applications that have been written internally, Xarios offers a TAPI driver or APIs to enable screen popping and call control to be implemented directly from the application.

If you have an application that is not listed above and are interested in screen popping or any other type of integration then please send an enquiry through to our support team.

Screen Popping without Caller ID

If a customer doesn't present a caller ID or the caller ID cannot be guaranteed to uniquely identify them then the customer can be prompted for an order number or account number which can then be used to perform the screen pop.

This functionality cannot be implemented by Phone Client alone, it uses an off the shelf Xarios IVR solution to collect the data and pass it to Phone Client.
