NetSuite CRM Integration – Configuration
Defining Screen Pop Settings
To enable CRM integration for a tenant, an administrator has to configure Screen Pop settings in the
Configuration Manager. The configuration requires you to select a target CRM, specify events that
trigger screen population of CRM records, and specify popup window properties in the Configuration
Manager. An agent has to then save the login credentials of the external CRM account in the agent’s
profile. Integration enables searching for records containing phone data matching caller ID, and pops up
the corresponding record/s for specific events.
The events triggering a Screen Pop may be one or all of the following:
•
An agent is offered an interaction
•
An agent has accepted an interaction
•
An agent has completed an interaction
Understanding Screen Pop
Screen Pop refers to the process of presenting customer data to an agent automatically during an
interaction eliminating the need to manually search for the customer data. The process involves
searching for Account, Contact and Lead records with:
•
Phone field matching caller ANI (Automatic Number Identification) for Phone and Voicemail
media
•
Case numbers matching case ID for Chat media
•
Email field matching email ID for Email media and
•
displaying the search results on the agent’s screen
The Screen Pop applies to:
•
Inbound transactions including phone, voicemail, and chat
•
Web Callback transactions
If the search retrieves multiple records, the Screen Pop lists all matches in a table, and displays the
details of the first record. If the search fails to find matching records, then pops a blank record to create
a new customer record, or a case, or a new contact.
