V3 vTiger Integration
How it works
The vTiger integration feature can be used to automatically open a Ticket (in the Support module of vTiger) for every call according the conditions set in the trigger (Queue, Call status or Outbound).
The vTiger ticket will be populated with information about the call and displayed1 for the agent in the vTiger environment.
Any interaction occurred through this integration can be searched by the Agent from the list by:
contact's phone / mobile / homephone/ otherphone / assistantphone
user's email1
The following are what you have to do to make the integration work:
Create a vTiger account2
Create a configuration for the account
Create a trigger (Tools → Triggers), set the conditions you want to trigger the integration and add integrations action by selecting vTiger integration, the vTiger account you have configured and the configuration you want to use.
Login agent in vTiger and Motion
Every time there is an outgoing/incoming call, the trigger conditions are checked and a Ticket is created and assigned to the agent managing the call, if the conditions are met3.
1only if the agent is already logged in vTiger.
2the account should have privilege level of CEO
3when an agent manages a call, the agent will first be searched in vTiger User accounts by his/her email address and then assigned to the task only if the agent account is found. Otherwise, the call will be assigned to the vTiger administrator account used in Motion-vTiger integration.
If all the configurations are properly set, the new vTiger ticket will be created and automatically opened in a new browser tab as shown below:

In order to create and assign tasks to agents properly, you have to make sure:
Agent's Primary email in the vTiger profile is exactly the same as Agent's email address in Motion, like in the images below:
the Agent is logged in: XCALLY Motion Phonebar, XCALLY Motion web interface and vTiger web interface
the Agent has ENABLED the browser pop-ups, when he/she receives the first call
