Change Status over API

[3cxMan]

Hi

Is any chance to change the status over an api (C#, CMD or HTTP) for the client on current workstation?

Thanks for your help.

interested?

I was looking for a way to do this by myself and I just figured out a very easy way of doing this.

In this folder "C:\ProgramData\3CXPhone for Windows\PhoneApp" you can find 3CXclickTocall.exe.

You can use this executable in CMD to dial any number.
We all know that we can change status from our desk phones by dialing *3+(Status ID) , so if you dial *30 , you will set your status to available, *31 set status to Away, *32 DND etc..

So by using command prompt, go to:
"C:\ProgramData\3CXPhone for Windows\PhoneApp"
Type: 3CXclicktocall.exe *30 (this will dial *30 and change your status to available )

All you need to do is to setup a simple batch file or a powershell script on startup/shutdown to run 3CXclicktocall.exe *30 on computer logon, and *31 or whatever status you wish on computer logoff.
Please note that in order for 3CXclicktocall.exe to run, the windows 3CX phone app must be running.

This is the problem: 3CXPhone will not be running, after Windows sent the shutdown signal to all processes and when your logon to the PC.
You must use your own software to send the absence status codes to the 3CX server.

Yes you are right, I haven't tested it when I wrote that post. The method I mentioned works only on logon.
So after that I did write a PS script that talks directly to the 3CX web console, without the need of the 3cxphone.
But still you need to get this integrated somewhere else, which is what we did in our case.
