These instructions apply to both the Team and Solo Editions of Acarda Outbound v7.2.0.2304 and above.
Installing 3CX Plug-in Files – 3CX integration
When Acarda Outbound Agent or Solo is installed a folder is created as "C:\Program Files\Acarda\Acarda Outbound\3CX Support Files" (or "C:\Program Files (x86)\…" on 64bit installs) which will contain the two plug-in files "Innovasoft.XDMessaging.dll" & "Innovasoft.S3CX.dll". Copy the two files to the install folder of the 3CXPhone (3CXWin8Phone.exe) which by default is "C:\ProgramData\3CXPhone for Windows\PhoneApp".
To activate the plug-in locate the file "C:\ProgramData\3CXPhone for Windows\PhoneApp\3CXWin8Phone.user.config", open and edit adding the reference to "Innovasoft.S3CX" for the key="CRMPlugin", use a comma to separate multiple entries or add the key & value if required. E.g.
<!--?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?--> <appsettings> <add key="version" value="3.0.0"></add> <add key="ClientSettingsProvider.ServiceUri" value=""></add> <add key="CRMPlugin" value="CallTriggerCmdPlugin,Innovasoft.S3CX"></add> <add key="MakeCallTimeout" value="10000"></add> <add key="MakeCallTimeoutCTIUnsupported" value="200000"></add> <add key="EnableVCELogging" value="true"></add> <add key="MaxLogFileSizeMb" value="5"></add> <add key="RequestTimeout" value="60"></add> <add key="MaxUploadSizeKb" value="2048"></add> </appsettings>
When the 3CXPhone is started the plug-in will now automatically be loaded enabling the dial functionality to be activated from Acarda Outbound.
