VONAGE® INTEGRATION SUITE (VGIS) - WEB

Updated: 3/9/2023 1:47 PM

VGIS Web is a browser extension that seamlessly combines our business services
with your productivity tools allowing you to easily manage contacts, related
activities, reporting, and more. Some of our customers also use VGIS Web as
a CRM without linking any productivity tools. 

Click to Connect lets you place a call or send an SMS message and is also
immediately available to you and present on the websites you visit if enabled. 

Supported productivity tools include Salesforce, Bullhorn, G Suite, SugarCRM,
HubSpot, Office 365, Zendesk, Microsoft Dynamics, NetSuite, and JobDiva.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

 * While Click to Connect includes SMS, SMS messaging is not supported outside
   of the US. 
 * MS Dynamics will be available in locations outside of the US at a later
   date. 
 * If you are using the Desktop App, see Vonage Integration Suite (VGIS) -
   Desktop.

CREATE CUSTOM LAYOUTS (ADMINS ONLY)

Customer Admins can customize the Contact Activity window for their users by
creating custom layouts. These layouts let Admins hide, show or order fields in
integrations to allow quicker access to what is needed.

IMPORTANT:  If the Layout Builder is not set up correctly, it can result in an
error when a user attempts to save their work activity in the Vonage Integration
Suite (VGIS). We advise that you work with your CRM Administrator if you are not
familiar with the roles/permissions of your users.

Create Layout
 1. Access Web Portal.
 2. Click My Account and go to the User Integrations section (top center).
 3. Locate the integration you want to modify, then click on the Wrench icon. 
 4. Select your name in the View as User popup box.
 5. Go to Resource Type and select the object you want to modify. For example, a
    Case, Lead, or Task are objects.
 6. Scroll to the bottom and click SHOW ALL to list all available fields.
    
    Any field/item preceded by the Up/Down Arrows icon can be arranged. If an
    item has a Settings icon, you can further define the use of that field. 
     
    * To Exclude fields, click and drag the Up/Down Arrows icon and move to
      Excluded Fields (left side). 
    * To Reorder fields, click and drag the Up/Down Arrow icons up or down.
 7. Go to Layout Name (bottom) and specify a name for your layout. 
 8. Click CREATE  for new or UPDATE to modify.

Test / Apply Layout
 1. Access Web Portal.
 2. Open a Contact Activity window, then click on the Custom Layout menu (bottom
    center) to select the one you want to test. 
 3. Verify your layout and if correct, inform users of availability.
    
    Otherwise, return to the Layout Builder to UPDATE or DELETE.
 4. Inform users that a new layout is available.

UNLOCK CUSTOM RESOURCES (ADMINS ONLY)

Customer Admins can unlock Custom Resources from the Integration Resources panel
within the Web Portal. These extended resources provide access to ALL fields in
an integration, instead of just a few pre-configured resources.

IMPORTANT:  Unlocking certain Custom Resources can adversely affect users if the
user does not have access (permissions) for that field. We advise that you work
with your CRM Administrator if you are not familiar with the roles/permissions
of your users.

 1. Access Web Portal.
 2. Click My Account and go to the User Integrations section (top center). 
 3. Locate the integration you want to modify, then click on the
    Hamburger icon. 
 4. Select your name in the View as User popup box.
    
    The Integration Resources panel first lists your Contacts followed by
    Activities.
     
    
    For Contacts
     1. Select the items to display.
     2. Turn on Auto Sync to if you want to automatically sync with phone
        numbers. 
    
    For ActivitiesChoose the items that the user can display as tabs in their
    Contact Activity window (specifically on their Home page).
    
    
    Selections are saved automatically and applied to all users under the VGIS
    account.

AUTO-ACTIVITY BEHAVIOR

Most CRMs include a Status field in the objects, most likely used for auto
activities.  VGIS sets this field using the following method:

 * VGIS looks for a default Status from the CRM.  In the absence of this, the
   system will look for a Completed status.
 * If no such status exists, the system selects the first available status
   provided by the CRM.  In most CRM systems, this allows the CRM administrator
   to control the value by setting a default.  
 * In systems that don't support this, the "Completed" status is the most common
   choice for this field.

For Vonage for SugarCRM, it is not possible to target the completed status, so
in that case, the Status will use the default settings in SugarCRM.  For Calls,
it's recommended to set the default to Completed so that users will not get
notified from Sugar regarding calls that have already taken place.
