CRM Widget

The CRM widget allows users to open specified URLs based on incoming call activity. This widget is useful if you wish to open web-based CRM or other records based on incoming call information. Although this widget is called the CRM widget it can be used to open any type of web page. Any web pages launched through this widget will open in the default browser on the computer.

Open URL on Demand

If you do not wish to open a URL on call events but wish to open them on demand you can use the CRM button in the My Stream Widget as illustrated in Figure 01.
