Configure Integration with ShoreTel Connect Contact Center Software

If you use ShoreTel Contact Center software, you can choose to configure Contact Center to pass call metadata through ShoreTel Contact Center Director into the TAPI events received for a phone. The Uptivity installation team can modify the channel script to include this metadata in the call record.For a complete description of mandatory and user-defined call profiles, and their associated user fields, see the ShoreTel Contact Center Administrator Guide.

  1. On the Contact Center server, in the directory in which ShoreTel Contact Center is installed, use a text editor (such as Notepad) to create a file named shoretelcfg.ini.
  2. In the shoretelcfg.ini file, add a section named call_profile.

  3. In the call_profile section, specify a key named user_fields with call profile field names as values. Separate the values with a comma. For example:

    [call_profile]user_fields=AGENT_NUMBER, AccNo, Balance, DueDate
  4. Restart the ShoreTel Contact Center server. The call profile field values that you specified will now display in the TAPI call properties and be available for the Uptivity channel script.
