I’m planning to build a custom App. How can I implement Click to Dial feature to make a call from my custom app when a phone number of a contact on Freshdesk is clicked?
I would assume this can be done using Events API, however I cant find any related callback method for this in the Events API documentation.
Yes, there’s an Event API available that will get triggered when a phone number of the contact is clicked.
client.events.on(“cti.triggerDialer”, function (event){
var data = event.helper.getData();
console.log(data.number); // prints the phone number clicked
});
Please take a look at this sample app for reference to build a CTI app. The event can be found in this line of the code.
Thank you !!..Is there any extra subscription or charge for buildling/publishing a CTI app? Or is it treated as a normal Custom App…and is part of the Freshdesk purchased plan…
@usuleman It’s completely free to publish a CTI app on our platform to integrate with our products. If the product supports Custom App on your subscription, that’s enough to utilize it. It is treated as a normal custom app.
The cloud telephone service could be any service of your choice that you have subscribed with.
