Installation
To install CRM Connect:

- Under the Desktop Software category, locate CRM Connect.
- Click the Download button. A file will be downloaded to your computer. Depending on your computer configuration, you may be asked if you want to save the file.
-
- To begin installing CRM Connect, double-click the CRMConnect.exe file and click the Install button.
-
- Review the End-User License Agreement and select the I Agree button to continue. You must agree to the end-user license agreement to complete the installation.
-
- The installation will proceed and any third-party software that is required will also be installed at this time; follow any onscreen instructions displayed by the third-party software.
-
- Once CRM Connect and any third-party software has finished installing, click the Finish button to close the installer.
Login Details and Initial Configuration
CRM Connect is designed to be discrete. Always running and providing useful information as you need it, yet at the same time not annoying and interfering when you’re trying to work. So, most of the time, CRM Connect sits silently in your tray menu, waiting for you to click on it or waiting for calls to be made or received.
-
- Once the installation has completed, you will need to enter your My Phone Next user credentials.
Note: In Windows, some tray icons become hidden and expressly must be shown. These settings are stored in the Notification Area Icons part of the Windows Control Panel.
-
- Right-click on the CRM Connect icon, which is a green circle (or red if you’re on a call) in the system tray menu.
- Select Configuration.
- You must first configure the Telephony section by selecting the server and entering your My Phone Next credentials.
- Server: Select North America.
- Username: This is the username you use to log into My Phone Next.
- Password: The password can be set/changed via My Phone Next. Go to the My Phone Next log in page and select the Forgot Password? link. Enter your username and select Reset Password. A temporary password will be emailed to you.
CRM Integration Configuration
- You will also need to know which CRM System you are using and your login credentials for that system.

Taskbar / System Tray Icon and Preview Window Notification Management
Sometimes changes can be made to settings in Windows, CRM Connect or other applications to make the visibility and usability of CRM Connect easier.
For example, it is advised that Windows 10 Users configure the settings in Notifications and Actions. To do this, right click on the windows icon and click Search. Type in Notifications in the search field, and the option for Notifications and Actions will appear. Once selected, the Notification and Actions dialog box will appear. Navigate and select CRM Connect (Connect). The options are shown below. Configure your appearance preferences.
Another example is if you have a CenturyLink Engage UC-Desktop client, which also provides a preview window. This can cause a double pop-up notification as shown below:
You can disable the notifications in either application to rectify this or move the CRM Connect notification to another location on the desktop.
To disable the CRM Connect notification, navigate to the Configuration panel, select Events/Call Events tab from the menu on the left and change the action in the drop-down for On ringing, On answer, or On outbound to No Action and then select Save.
