Pop to Flow in an Open CTI Integration

Hi, we've installed an Open CTI Integration app (Aircall) but would like to be able to screenpop an Account page based on the Dialled Number when it cannot identify the Caller.

Presumably we can somehow use the "Pop to flow" option in the Softphone Layout in Call Center, but there is nothing we can find that tells us how we can pull in any variables from the call into the Flow, so we can only create a "dumb" Screen Flow starting from zero. Ideally we want to:
- Grab the Dialled Number
- Do a Lookup on Accounts to find a Record with that Phone Number
- Screenpop that Account

Does anybody know how we can do this? Using Flow, or any other means?

Thanks!

Hi David,

Unfortunately we didn't resolve this issue. We ended up going to another CTI App provider (Connex One), who were more willing to work with us to provide a more tailored solution.

It might be possible using the method in the article you mentioned, and I'm sure there must a way to do it, but I'm not sure this is possible by simply using the Softphone layout in the Call Centre configuration along with some Flow parameters. Sounds like more coding is required here.

I also never got around to reaching out to the accelerator team as suggested by Abhishek - we ended up switching providers fairly soon after the original post.

Hope you manage to find a way around it... if you do manage to do find anything else please post an update here so that I can get closure :)

Thanks!
