LeadSquared Integration with Bicom Systems PBXware

Choose the first business outcome

Possible outcomes include click-to-call from a lead record, screen pop for inbound calls, automatic call activity logging, lead routing based on call outcomes and controlled agent provisioning. Start with one outcome and define what success looks like for sales and operations.

LeadSquared exposes REST APIs for leads, activities, tasks and related resources, and documents telephony integration use cases. The exact PBXware interface and available operations should be confirmed for the customer’s edition and release.

Create an identity map

Telephone numbers are useful search keys but unreliable primary identifiers: formatting varies, numbers can be shared, and caller ID may be hidden. Maintain a mapping between the LeadSquared lead or user ID and the relevant PBXware identity.

Normalize numbers to an agreed international format for comparison, while retaining the original value where the business needs it. Define what happens when one number matches several leads.

Normalize call events

Call systems produce technical events; sales teams need business activities. Convert the available PBX events or records into a stable internal call model with direction, participants, start time, answer time, end time, disposition and relevant recording reference where lawful and available.

Write activities idempotently using a stable call identifier. Updates may arrive after the initial event, so the integration should be able to enrich an existing activity rather than creating a new one for every status change.

• Authenticate callbacks and restrict network access where possible.
• Do not expose PBX administrator credentials to CRM users.
• Apply retention and access rules to recordings and call metadata.
• Queue CRM writes and retry temporary failures.

Make agent actions safe

For click-to-call, validate the signed-in user, mapped extension, destination and permitted calling policy before asking the PBX to originate a call. Return a clear state to the CRM without blocking the interface unnecessarily.

Provisioning should be a separate, privileged workflow. An approved LeadSquared user change can request PBXware setup, but a backend service should validate templates and tenant boundaries before performing it.

Reconcile and observe

Track event lag, unmatched calls, failed CRM writes, duplicate rates and mapping errors. Provide an exception view where an operator can associate an unmatched call safely or retry a failed activity update.

A scheduled reconciliation job should compare recent completed calls with CRM activities. This closes gaps caused by transient outages and gives the business confidence that reporting is complete.
