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.

    1. 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.

    1. 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.
    2. Select Configuration.

Click image for large view
  1. 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

  1. 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:

Click image for large view

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.
