Configure Web Application Popups

This section describes how to configure Barracuda Phone System, using the Web Application Popup feature, to show caller information from SalesForce in a pop-up window when agents use the Communication Command Center.

Choose a Group, Queue, or Advanced Call Router

The Web Application Popup feature can be associated with a Group, a Queue, or an Advanced Call Router action.

Web Application Popup Feature
Associated with... 
Where Popups Appear
GroupPopups appear for all members of the group, on all incoming calls
QueuePopups appear only during calls received from the Queue
Advanced Call RouterPopups appear in a recipient Communication Command Center whenever a call is received through that routing

You must create or select the Group, Queue, or Advanced Call Router action before you can apply the Web Application Popup feature. For information on creating and managing Groups, Queues, and Advanced Call Routers, refer to the Telephone and User Configuration article. During this process, make sure that the proper users are either members of the Group or agents in the Queue you use.

Enable and Set the Web Application Popup Feature
  1. If you are not already logged in to a Barracuda Phone System Administrator account, log in now.
  2. Open the detail page for the extension or Router action:

    QueueEXTENSIONS > Inbound Call Queues, then click on the Queue.

  4. In the Web Application Popup URL field below the checkbox, type the following URL:
    https://<your SF domain>/_ui/search/ui/UnifiedSearchResults?searchType=2&str=__CID__
  5. Click Save.
Using and Troubleshooting the Web Application Popup Feature

After the feature is configured, when a call is received by any

  • member of that Group,
  • agent who receives a call from that Queue, or
  • person who receives a call through the configured Router rule,

that user sees a pop-up window in their active Communication Command Center. The window contains SalesForce information about the caller, based on the Caller ID information.

If the pop-up window does not appear when a call arrives, ensure the following:

  • The user is: 
    • logged in to SalesForce.
    • a member of the Group or agent of the Queue.
  • Pop-up blocking in the user browser is disabled for the Barracuda Phone System domain.
  • Your provider is sending full and correct Caller ID information.
  • The information in SalesForce is associated with the phone number of the caller.
