In order to activate the Web browser button, follow these steps: 

1. Create the Web Browser Button 

   • Activate the web project

   • Check and edit parameters

2. Authenticate on VIDAOO

3. Connect XCALLY to VIDAOO

   • Associate the Agents to the OpenChannel Account

4. Track the video call route

   • Create a Webhook automation

   • Notify Agents of incoming video call

Create the Web Browser Button

Activate the web project 

The web button is able to connect the website and VIDAOO using a web project, through the API. In order to create the web button or a more complete contact form with the web button  on the specific website, you need to edit your website code.

• Download the web project Vidaoo-contact form:

The project is based on: 

HTML (HyperText Markup Language)- standard markup language for documents designed to be displayed in a web browser. 

Java- high-level, class-based, object-oriented programming language that is designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible.

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)- style sheet language used for describing the presentation of a document written in a markup language such as HTML.

PHP- server side scripting language embedded in HTML, used for programming dynamic web pages. 

• Drag the Vidaoo-contact form project into the domain directory (a server host supporting HTML and PHP is needed)

Check and edit parameters

The PHP file is responsible for making the API request. For the purpose of successfully activating and editing the request, check the parameters in the PHP directory. 

• You have the possibility to edit the Contact Form with the web button, choosing and personalizing the fields shown to the Customer

• You have the possibility to edit the string $data in vidaoo.php, setting various fields of the meeting session

For example:

- 'topic' is the topic of the meeting (i.e. MY_WEBSITE), which appears  also in the video call session and in VIDAOO reports.

- 'metadata' are video call data in JSON format useful for VIDAOO automations. 

Authenticate on VIDAOO

The API links the website to the VIDAOO solution,

 to which we must have access.

 So, you need to authenticate your account VIDAOO on the web project, inserting your API KEY.  

• Login into VIDAOO. Check here VIDAOO documentation. 

• Create a role with

• customized permissions (i.e. you can create the "Clicktocall" role only to generate and manage meetings) 

Image Added

• Create a user, associating the customized role (i.e. you can create a user "Clicktocall" dedicated to the web project)

Image Added

• Generate the token connected to the new user, clicking on the key button and then create the API token

Image Added

• Copy the token

• Move to the Vidaoo-contact form web project

• Paste the token in the PHP directory string 'X-APIKEY', aimed at having your authentication done

Connect XCALLY to VIDAOO

The Customer can now click a button and generate a video call (VIDAOO Quick Meeting).   

In order to let Agents receive notifications and answer the video call, you have to connect XCALLY to the VIDAOO project:
