Gateway integration for Telegram-calls from CRM systems
If your employees use CRM system for processing incoming and making outgoing calls, then to integrate the Gateway with CRM It is enough that your PBX supports the function of connecting external numbers (it was not locked to the use of one telecom operator), or it had the ability to connect another external SIP connector.
Our Gateway for Telegram-calls successfully works with systems such as Bitrix24, AMO CRM,Retail CRM, SalesForce CRM, Pipedrive CRM and many others. In most cases, integration occurs through a plug-in module for SIP telephony (virtual PBX).
Some CRM- systems, for example, Bitrix24, support the connection of additional external SIP connectors (except for the main PBX). In this case, the Gateway can be connected precisely as an external SIP connector, regardless of what kind of PBX is used and whether it supports the ability to connect external lines, which are also called trunks (VoIP Trunk).
Typically, when configuring the Gateway the registration option PBX->SIP.TG is used (the bot receives the details for connecting to the Gateway and they are indicated in the PBX settings). Most popular virtual PBXs (onlinepbx, uis, etc.) and office PBXs (Asterisk, Panasonic, Oktell, FreeSWITCH, SipXecs, Yate, FreePBX, etc.) provide this opportunity.

Incoming calls to CRM from the Gateway
Incoming calls to CRM they come from the Gateway as usual. Work scenario for employees CRM practically do not change.
An indication that a call came from Telegram is either by the prefix of the subscriber's number (set on the @siptg_bot side), or by the name of the line through which the call came.
Recordings of calls, if they were made, become available in the card of the corresponding CRM-Contact or Deal, depending on your settings, new Contacts, Leads or Deals are created for calls from the Gateway.
When calling from Telegram, the userid, username or phone number of the user can be received as the subscriber number. What type of number is used is determined in the settings of a specific method of communication with the PBX on the @siptg_bot side.
Also in ATS or CRM the subscriber's name can be the Telegram username, his Username (if installed) or Phone (if not hidden by privacy settings).

Features of outgoing calls from CRM to Telegram
As a user number to call him in Telegram, depending on the settings on the @siptg_bot side, you can use one of three values:
UserID of the Telegram user, from 5 to 20 digits
Username of the Telegram user, from Latin letters and numbers
Phone number registered to Telegram-user account
In case of problems integrating the gateway with your CRM system, please contact support.
More details about the settings on the PBX side
UserID of the Telegram user, from 5 to 20 digits
- Using UserID, you can call the user first only if there has already been some kind of correspondence with him or her before, or there was an incoming call from the user to the Gateway account.
- Calls to such internal Telegram-numbers are only possible through the Gateway; from the regular Telegram application you cannot call this subscriber number (it is not displayed in the application interface)
- If your CRM- the system or the telephony solution used in it supports the ability to select an outgoing line, then it is enough to indicate the appropriate line for outgoing calls to such numbers
- In many PBXs, you can configure outgoing calls to Telegram through the Gateway line if the number begins with a certain prefix, for example, zero (or an asterisk *).
Username of the Telegram user, from Latin letters and numbers
- May not be installed by the user
- Often PBXs do not support the ability to call such symbolic numbers
Phone number registered to Telegram-user account
- It may be hidden by privacy settings, then you cannot call the phone number on the Telegram account associated with it
- In many PBXs, you can configure outgoing calls to Telegram via the Gateway line by adding a prefix to phone numbers when dialing them. For example, if a number begins with two zeros (by analogy with UserID, see above), then you need to call it through the Gateway in Telegram.
