Dial Number with a Click

Dial Number with a Click

With Phone Companion your FileMaker solution can tell your phone system to make a call from your phone to the desired phone number.

Instead of having to read and type your contact’s phone number on the phone’s keypad, you can just simply click a button in your solution. This will let you:

  • Save time
  • Avoid calls to wrong numbers due to typing errors
  • Focus on the communication rather than the dialing process

Get Notified About a Call

Phone Companion will run a script in your FileMaker solution when your phone rings.

Your solution will know all available information about an incoming call without you having to do anything.

  • It can pop up a notification dialog for you
  • Your solution can look up the calling client’s record automatically
  • You will know who’s calling and respond accordingly when answering the call
  • Your solution can transfer or reject the call automatically depending on the caller ID
Get Notified About a Call

Record Your Call Time & Duration

Phone Companion can run a script in your FileMaker whenever something happens to your phone extension

You can have records created automatically so that you

  • know when someone called you
  • know when you called someone
  • know how long your call took
  • can focus on talking to your client and recording only important notes

Complex Workflows

Send raw commands to your PBX. Watch for raw events, matching them to a pattern.

Make your solution able to work with complex features of your phone system, such as

  • Transferring an incoming call to another extension
  • One call ringing on multiple phones
  • Putting a call on hold
  • Making and joining conference calls
Complex Workflows
Call centers

Call centers

Incoming calls are now identified not only by caller ID and called extension, but also called trunk line.

The same operator can now handle calls for different companies easily because your solution can correctly identify the company whose client is calling.

Unusual PBX Setups

Raw commands let you adjust the syntax of commands sent to the PBX. Raw events let you launch different scripts when different regular expressions are matched.

You can get the most out of your PBX even if its syntax for usual commands or messages differs from most other phone systems.

The better and wider support for new PBX models makes it easier for you to integrate your FileMaker app with your phone system without being too constrained in your selection of the right platform.

By using calculations for processing data and scrip steps to trigger actions, integrating telephony with your custom app is now even easier and more intuitive than ever before.

External Script Steps
How it Works

How it Works

Phone Companion uses a 3rd party middleware (ilink TeamCall Lite) to talk to your phone system. Thanks to the middleware, many popular PBX brands are supported by Phone Companion.

The middleware talks to the PBX and tells it what to do with your phone. The PBX then controls your phone and handle your calls.

Phone Companion has already been successfully integrated with the following phone systems:

  • Panasonic KX-TDA 30
  • ShoreTel
  • ShoreTel 230
  • mitel 3300 IP Communications Platform
  • Funkwerk Elmeg ITC-88 International
  • Panasonic KX-NCP500

  • Cisco CallManager
  • Siemens HiPath 3350
  • Ascotel IntelliGate 300
