3CX Desktop App how to dial over command line?

[GHDSK]

Hi,

we want to change from "3CX Phone for Windows App" to the new "3CX Desktop App". So far everything is working, but our biggest problem ist, that we used the command line (C:\ProgramData\3CXPhone for Windows\PhoneApp\CallTriggerCmd.exe +parameters) in the past to dial from some specual windows programs. This always worked for us.

With the new "3CX Desktop App" we were not able to find any information how to do this.

Has anyone found a solution for this?

Thanks,
Christian.

It is a feature exclusive to 3CX Phone for Windows. However, it is possible to do with our REST API. MakeCall is one of the free APIs you can use without a license.

How to integrate your REST API? Do you have any HOW TO?

We have documentation built into the Relay. Just install our Relay on your 3CX server and select the "API" link in the left-hand side panel. You will see there are ... I do not know exactly... hundreds of APIs we have developed and we are adding more weekly. One of several variations on MakeCall is:

https://<my3cxServer>:8801/api/MakeCall/{"dn_from": "100", "number_to": "8016424655"}

Thank you. Unfortunately my 3CX instance is hosted by 3CX so as I understand I can't install your Relay there, correct?

That is correct. When hosting your 3CX server AT 3CX, they do not support CFD applications, access to CDR files, or the installation of 3rd party tools. You would need to move your 3CX server to a hosting provider that does permit 3rd party tools.

Roger that. Thanks.
