Adding a CTI Link

Preparing CTI Link configuration

Before starting the Pega Call™ CTI Link configuration, you must ensure that the CTI environment is ready. Use the following steps to plan for the telephony integration.

  1. Understand which telephony vendor is used.
  2. Review the Pega Call CTI Implementation materials to understand the configuration for your vendor.
  3. Share the information related to the way Pega Call gets connected to the CTI environment with the telephony team.
  4. The telephony team must configure the CTI environment to allow Pega Call to connect and share the configuration details with the Pega Call implementation team.
  5. Ensure that a resource from the telephony team is available to work with the Pega Call implementation team during the configuration.

Configuring a CTI Link

In Dev Studio, click Configure > Channel Services > Pega Call > Administration & Configuration to add a CTI Link.

Note: If your CTI vendor is not listed, you can create integrations based on the OpenCTI standard. The OpenCTI interface allows you to create adapters that you can use to integrate with CTI servers that support the OpenCTI standard. This adapter plugs into the existing Pega Call framework and provides a bridge between the Pega Call framework and the third-party CTI server. Select OpenCTI Desktop to create a client-side integration and OpenCTI Server to create a server-side integration.
