Introduction
The CRM Service for Bullhorn is used to retrieve relevant information about the caller (for both inbound and outbound) during a conversation handled by the A Unified Contact Center, or UCC, is a queue of interactions (voice, email, IM, etc.) that are handled by Agents. Each UCC has its own settings, IVR menus and Agents. Agents can belong to one or several UCCs and can have multiple skills (competencies). A UCC can be visualized as a contact center “micro service”. Customers can utilize one UCC (e.g. a global helpdesk), a few UCC’s (e.g. for each department or regional office) or hundreds of UCC’s (e.g. for each bed at a hospital). They are interconnected and can all be managed from one central location.. The CRM Service retrieves contact info regarding the caller and if applicable the related relevant cases. The CRM Service will be used in combination with the Dialogue Cloud WebAgent.

Configure PluginSettings
Warning
This CRM service depends on settings which need to be identical if used across multiple UCC's within a service, meaning the values should be identical across all UCC configurations using it. We call these primary settings. A primary setting is defined by the first UCC to publish its settings during startup of the service. This may not always be the same UCC if multiple UCC's share this service! If values differ across multiple UCC's this will lead to unpredictable behavior after a service restart. It is extremely important to keep the values consistent/identical and valid.
