What does the integration allow?

CoverManager pop-up notification identifying the calling customer before opening their profile

When a customer calls by phone, the switchboard will notify CoverManager that there is a call, indicating which origin phone number is calling. This way, if the customer is registered in the restaurant's CRM, it will load the customer's profile, and if not, it will load the new reservation form with the phone number pre-filled.

What advantages does the group-type integration offer?

A single phone switchboard can be connected to several restaurants. This allows you not only to identify the customer, but also to identify the restaurant they are calling, and in CoverManager it will switch you to the restaurant they are calling.

How to integrate your phone switchboard?

Integration with CoverManager is only possible with those switchboards that allow a call to a web service to be executed, passing it parameters.

The input parameters are:

  • Origin phone number: it may or may not include the international prefix, which will help to identify the calling customer
  • Destination phone number: it allows the restaurant being called to be identified; it can be a phone number or an identifying text for the restaurant, for those switchboards that have several options.
  • Operator: this parameter is optional, and is important for those groups of restaurants that have a call center and have configured the notification after picking up; it is especially helpful for those with high demand, as it will display the notification only to the operator who picked up

In order to set up an integration of this kind, you will need to provide us with:

  • Phone numbers associated with the restaurants
  • Users and operators that need to be set up

There can only be one operator per "computer" workstation, and it will be associated with a specific CoverManager user.

How do I identify myself as an operator?

Once everything is set up in Cover, a user will only have to click on operator and the page will reload, displaying their operator name.

If your operating system does not allow notifications or you have notifications disabled, these will be shown within the CoverManager system itself.
