Stand Alone Environment

(Definition: SpitFire Enterprise Predictive (SEP) is setup in a typical network behind a firewall/router/modem) Remote agents require a VPN for voice traffic between the agent(s) and the SEP Server. Port forwarding DOES NOT WORK in this environment because of the incomplete routing and/or Network Address Traversal (NAT) breaks the SIP/RTP traffic. Software VPN’s are not recommended due to changes that occur in VPN software.

Integrated Environments

(Definition: SEP is setup to connect to another device to pass calls, typically a phone system, either IP or PSTN based) Integrated enviroments allow VPN or port forwarding for data traffic. In these cases, voice traffic is handled through the integration and is not handled by SEP. Only the agent data needs to be addressed by either a VPN or port forwarding through the firewall/router. NOTE: Customers are responsible for VPN setup and troublshooting. OPC Marketing, Inc. DOES NOT setup or troubleshoot or support VPN’s.

Integration Information

There are two options currently for integrating the SpitFire Enterprise Predictive (SEP) Software to CRM applications on the Agent’s Screen.
 
Windows-based CRM applications- A “Keystroke Command” can be used to look up existing customer records in the CRM automatically when the call is connected to the Agent, and/ or give the agent the ability to create new records in the CRM with a single mouse-click. This can also be used to update existing records in the CRM.
 
Web-based CRM applications- A Query String” command to look up existing records, and a “Keystroke” command to create new records/update records.
 
Keystroke Commands for Windows-based CRMs
A sequence of keystrokes (Macro) can be sent to a Windows application when the call is sent to the Agent. This can be used for an automatic lookup or to create a new record and update existing records in a Windows-based application on the Agent screen. This option is a custom-written macro our Programmers will provide, after data fields are identified and specified. The CRM must be capable of using a “keystroke” command to perform functions, such as a “Ctrl+S” for Save.
 

URL Query String Commands for Web-based CRMs

A “URL Query string” can be sent when the live call is transferred to the Agent. This is the data that is sent to the Agent with the call. When an Agent gets a call, the agent application opens up the URL specified in the dialing script at the server.
Also, the Agent software adds the following parameters to the URL request:

?Agentname=Name of Agent
&Agentemail=Agentemail
&AgentID=Agent ID
&CustomerID =Customer ID
&Name= Client Name
&Firstname= First Name
&Lastname= Last Name
&Company= Company
&Address= Address
&City= City
&State= State
&Country= Country
&ZipCode= Zipcode
&VoicePhone= VoicePhone
&SecVoicePhone= Secvoicephone
&HomePhone=HomePhone
&CellPhone= CellPhone
&FaxPhone= FaxPhone
&Email= Client’s Email
&Website=Website
&ClientID=Client Record’s ID
&Note=Notes
&CampaignName=Name of Campaign
&ListName=Name of DialingList
&Disposition=Name of the disposition, if present

 
The URL also contains the Custom fields assigned to that campaign in the same format. To create new records and update existing records in the CRM, a “Keystroke” macro will also need to be written. Enterprise Dialer software already integrates with many popular CRM programs similar to ACT and Salesforce, as well as many others. However, depending on the CRM software, we may need to test the application to make sure that it can interface.

This document is intended to give a general idea of integration with a PBX. Due to the proprietary nature of PBX’s, the information presented here may not work, however we will be happy to test connectivity. In all cases, from all ports, we must be able to either dial an extension and an outside line. Custom setups can also include direct connection from the carrier to the SpitFire Enterprise System and another connection to the PBX to connect to the agents only. In that scenario, The SpitFire Enterprise system would handle the outbound calls and only create the voice path to the agents through the PBX.

Analog connection

Dial tone and disconnect supervision required

T1 (CAS)

The circuit must be provisioned as D4 AMI, SF (Super Frame), with E&M signaling
Wink start is the standard; however there are several choices we can go with on the type Wink start, i.e. Immediate Wink, etc…
 
In most cases, you will need T1 or voice crossover cable. You can use almost any search engine to find the pin outs to make the cable yourself if you do not choose to purchase one. Make sure that it is not confused with a data crossover cable.

PRI/E1/J1

Standard framing for PRI is B8ZS, ESF (Extended Super Frame)
ISDN protocols supported are NI2, DMS, 5ESS, 4ESS, CTR4, QSIG
The PBX must be able to Network for the D-channel.

SIP

Connection info varies as requirements for IP PBX’s vary by the make. There are generally 2 connection requirements:
  1. The PBX emulates the carrier or register as an extension
  2. The authentication can IP based or use PBX provided credentials such User/Authentication name and Password.
Other credentials can also be used but varies on the PBX model. More advanced configurations can be acquired by conference call and testing.
 
All PBX integrations will be tested prior to installation.
3CX (SIP)
Mitel (SIP and T1)
Digium,  Asterisk, SwitchVox (all connection types)
AVAYA Key, Definite, IP Office (T1 and SIP with Avaya provided session border controller. SIP does not support AVAYA Version 9+)

*OPC Marketing does not support customer's PBX system; however we are available to speak to your PBX vendor for configuration and setup requirements. All integrations entail testing prior to installation.

What is an API?

An application-programming interface (API) is a set of programming instructions and standards for accessing a Web-based software application or Web tool. An API is a software-to-software interface, not a user interface. With APIs, applications talk to each other without any user knowledge or intervention. Call Centers often use the SpitFire API to automatically insert online live leads into the dialer.

The SpiFire API makes it possible to add/delete/update leads in specified list, add or delete a lead from DNC list, search if a lead exists in a list, and also export dialed numbers from history. Comprehensive API documentation as well as sample code provided below.
