    • CRM - In CRM mode anytime a call recordings is made on the PBX after the call is completed a copy of the recording will be sent to the CRM and stored on the CRM and from within the CRM when viewing call records you can listen to the call recording.  If the call recordings is deleted from the PBX a copy will still exist on your CRM.  Requires enough storage on your CRM to handle the call recording volume that you will be sending it.

    • PBX - In PBX mode a copy of a call recordings will not be sent to the CRM but you will still be able to listen to any call recordings from within the call records on your CRM.  The downside is if the call recordings is deleted from the PBX you will no longer be able to listen to the recording.

    • Copy Voicemail - If set to yes a copy of every voicemail when left on the PBX will also be sent to the CRM and linked to the call records with the ability to listen to the voicemails in the CRM.  If set to No voicemails will not be sent to the CRM.

 

Regular Expression Number Match - Regular expression used to match and cleanup numbers coming from the PBX before being sent to the CRM for relationship matching. This helps to match numbers that come into the PBX such as '19991234567' and turns them into '9991234567' since the number in your CRM may be stored as 10 digit versus 11 digit.  

Regular Expression Digit Match - Regular expression used PER digit for Accounts/Numbers/Leads lookups. %digit% is replaced with each digit of the inbound number. This expression is repeated for every digit of the number. This expression helps to match numbers that are in the CRM for relationship matching in various formats such as '+1 (444) 123-4567 '
