Set up integration with Cisco Finesse

Products
All Creatio products

This article describes integration with Cisco Finesse version 11.5 and later. We recommend using new phone service versions to ensure secure and reliable operation. If you need to set up integration with Cisco Finesse version 11.0 and earlier for testing purposes or to look for errors, follow the instructions for Creatio version 7.16.

To set up integration with Cisco Finesse, take the following steps:

  1. Set up the service message exchange library. Read more >>>

  2. Set up the Cisco Finesse parameters Read more >>>

In Creatio, the Cisco Finesse integration functionality requires a separate license. To license the phone service, generate a license request, send it to our support team, upload the received license file to Creatio, and distribute the licenses among users. Learn more in separate articles: Creatio licensing, Manage user licenses.

Before you set up the integration, make sure that the phone service administrator has already configured Cisco Finesse.

Attention. To ensure the integration operates as intended, enable the CORS technology support in Cisco Finesse settings. You can do this using the following commands

utils finesse cors enable_all

utils service restart Cisco Finesse Tomcat

utils service restart Unified CCX Notification Service
