Receive statuses from "external" web url

[DarknessBBB]

Hello there,
I'm trying to interlink Vicidial with a remote, proprietary, web based CRM.
Just like Vtiger, the agent logs in in both vicidial and CRM.
When the agent starts to call, it gets the lead, the related crm page is open via the webformurl (thanks to the CRM programmers), and it works flawless.

The problem is in the disposition step.
RIght now they hangup the lead on vicidial, they move on the CRM choosing the dispo and finally choose the status in the vicidial's dispo page.

It would be wonderful if they could only choose the dispo in the external CRM.
I was thinking this: since the leads have the same ID on both systems, it wouldn't be possible for vicidial to grab the status from the external CRM? Just like the "Dispo Call URL", this CRM could open an URL pointing to Vicidial with the lead ID, status callback date-time, comments and so on. VIcidial gest these data and automagically close the green dispo page.

I Know it is not a current feature, but, is a viable way?

Thank you very much.
Davide

The API currently does allow for dispositioning, but not setting of scheduled callbacks. You could do a lot of that through direct DB access, but it will take a bit of work.

****** UPDATE ******

The non-agent API now allows for setting of scheduled callbacks when adding or updating a lead.

Use the coding from the admin modify lead page. it has the necessary functions to set a callback. written by matt. if it gets too complex for you, i'm sure matt could write a custom one. Then you'll still be using vicidial code (and if you store your DIFF, you'll be able to upgrade and re-diff to maintain compatibility). If you actually ONLY strip out functions that are not necessary from teh page, and continue to use the stock code ... this could appear in an iFrame and maintain compatibility fairly well.

technically speaking, it could almost be USED as an API.

Hello Matt,
where can I find the source code in the SVN trunk?

that's a bit redundant, don't you think? (svn IS source code ...?)

if you want source code that can modify and/or create callbacks ... it's in the admin modify lead page. On your server already. Modify ANY lead. Look at your URL. That page has the code in it necessary to make/delete/modify a callback.

No no, I'm talking about the API that manages the dispositioning, as said by Matt. I would like to integrate it with the admin_modify_lead functions, as you have suggested

he was likely referring to the agent api. have a look at /usr/src/astguiclient/[VERSION]/docs for documentation on the use of the api and the non-agent.api, both.

You're the man! I'll work on it in this week!
