Zoho CRM has a standard module that allows it to do Click To Dial from within ZoHO using Noojee's PBX (Asterisk).

This document describes the process of installing Zoho Phone bridge into a Noojee PBX system.

Copy the attached init.d script 'zoho-phonebridge' to /etc/init.d/zoho-phonebridge

Run the following command so that the phone bridge starts up on boot:

sudo update-rc.d  zoho-phonebridge defaults

Install the zoho phone bridge by unziping the zoho zip file:

mkdir /opt/zohocrm
cd /opt/zohocrm
unzip ZohoCRM_CTI_Adapter_1_1_for_Asterisk_1_4.zip

Edit the "Zoho/ztiadapter/conf/zti.properties" file and configure the PhoneBridge Token.

You will need to obtain the token from the Zoho CRM team.

Edit the "Zoho/ztiadapter/teleadapters/asterisk14/conf/asterisk14.properties" file and configure the PBX details.

#$Id$
#Outgoing call context of Asterisk Server - change to 'default' for Noojee PBX
outgoingcallcontext=default

#Asterisk server details
asterisk.server=localhost
asterisk.manager.username=zoho-phonebridge
asterisk.manager.password=<manager-password-goes-here>

Create a manager user

cd /etc/asterisk/manager.d
vi zohocrm.conf

Place the following in the manager.conf file:

[zoho-phonebridge]
secret=<manager-password-goes-here>
deny=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
permit=127.0.0.1/255.255.255.0

Now reboot your machine and check that the service is running.

Check the logs which should look something like:

cd /opt/zohocrm/Zoho/ztiadapter/logs
cat ztilog.txt.0
