Show, Add, Pop CRM contact for incoming call

When the Microsoft Teams user receives an incoming call via their Telephone system direct routing service, HIPIN users can view contact information for any matching entries from any integrated address books. This contact information will be within either the Preview Window or the Call Toolbar notification window.

 

Teams as preferred dialing device

When the Telephone system user has a direct routing service available for Microsoft Teams, HIPIN STANDAARD and PREMIUM users can select "Teams" as their Preferred Device, used to make and receive calls.

In Tray mode, the Preferred Device icon offers a drop-down menu selection from the devices available.

In AppBar mode, the Preferred Device drop-down menu is displayed within the "Calls" window.

Outgoing calls initiated from HIPIN will be passed to the Teams client which will prompt the user to begin the outgoing call:

Note: Incoming calls to the Teams client cannot be answered by HIPIN - use the Teams incoming call notification to answer calls.

 

Open Microsoft Teams chat from Presence window

HIPIN STANDAARD and PREMIUM users can open a Teams chat conversation from within the HIPIN Presence window, using the slide out menu that appears when hovering over a contact icon.

(the conversation takes place within Microsoft Teams)

 

Show Teams avatar image in Presence window

For HIPIN STANDAARD and PREMIUM users, co-worker avatar images are displayed against each User's contact icon within the HIPIN Presence window.

 

Show co-worker Teams Availability status in Presence window

Presence with Teams Availability

For HIPIN STANDAARD and PREMIUM users, co-worker availability is displayed as a combination of Telephone system extension status and Microsoft Teams user Availability status, indicated by a mixture of icon colour and status text:

*"Out of Office" state is a beta Microsoft Graph API feature and will only be available if enabled in your access code.

Note: An active call via the Telephone system extension will take precedence over Teams Availability status

 

Publish "In a call" state to Microsoft Teams (Beta feature)

If beta features have been enabled in your access code, this beta Graph API feature will be displayed.

This function enables HIPIN to change the Teams availability status to "In a call" when the user is on an active telephone call through the Telephone system.

When the HIPIN user is in a Microsoft Teams meeting or is Busy or set to "Do Not Disturb" the Telephone system extension "Forwarding always" setting is enabled to redirect incoming calls to the configured telephone number.
