A Screen Pop is a window which opens on your agents’ computer when a call related event, such as the arrival of an incoming call, occurs. The new window is created by the Agent Console which opens to a URL that you configure. This URL is typically a pointer to a web based CRM database record containing information relating to the person calling you.
In order to use this feature, you must have, or subscribe to a web based CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system. Typically, you will open a customer record based on his telephone number, so you must determine the appropriate URL in your system that accomplishes this. This might be a “search” page or script that allows you to specify a search key like “telephone number”. For example, it may look like:
Notice that the telephone number is supplied as an argument to the search.cgi script. Your system will differ from this example.

Click [New Screen Pop] to open a form to create and edit the new rule. You will be able to create a separate rule for six different events:
Give the screen pop rule a descriptive name, and type in the URL as required by your CRM system. The Halloo console will perform the following substitutions in the URL you specify:
