Introduction

 

CRM integration with 3CX enables you to launch calls with a single click directly from your applications, as well as linking incoming calls to customer records within your CRM package. This kind of functionality is a great time saver, and allows you to continue to focus on work, rather than simple administration.

3CX offers great flexibility with their CRM integration, supporting many popular CRM packages on the server side, and allowing for others to be added with plugins on the client side.

While offering the option for either is great, particularly for those using less common CRM packages, connecting your CRM to your PBX on the server side is infinitely easier. A couple of clicks from your management console easier.

This is great news for businesses using Microsoft Dynamics 365 – as no longer do they have to download plugins for integration with their 3CX phone system.

This week, 3CX has added Microsoft Dynamics 365 to their growing list of available and supported CRM integrations. Now your administrator can easily setup your integration from the 3CX Management Console without even having to think about your 3CX clients.
