I would like to see RepairShopr integrated with the Vonage Desktop Connect app. I have tested this with our vonage install and got this to work. Here is the routine I used.

Download the Vonage Deskptop Connect client to your desktop. I used Google Chrome and it worked.
Make a test call and make sure that you do not have pop-ups blocked.
Switch over to Repairshopr and go to App Center and click on the Free PBX integration. Generate a token for your company.
Switch back to Vonage Desktop Connect and go to the settings area.
In settings click on the Web Launcher tab.
In Web Launcher I used the following variables.
URL - I typed in "RepairShopr" (note: do not use the quotes)
In the box next to the name put this URL in minus the quotes - "http://uniquedomainname.repairshopr.com/api/callerid/?did=[NUMBER]&token=tokenfromfreePBX"
Now click the Add button. You should see the URL you just built in the box below the Insert button.

Check the box for Incoming Calls and then click save.
Test by making a call into the system from a customer record associated with you calling from a number on your record.

The open invoice reminder is a fantastic automation solution to help keep your less than punctual clients aware they owe you money.

Two things to improve it:

1) Use the same WYSIWYG edit as all of the other email template editors. Not sure why we're using an alternate one in this module. We use completely custom email templates including the wrapper, and there's something weird going on with the formatting.

2) To compliment #1, need a way to test what the email looks like before sending this out. Considering these emails are fully automatic and are not manually triggered, it's very important to know what they will look like before the system takes over. Reminding a customer that they haven't paid you is already a difficult situation, so it's important that when we do, we get it right.

You want to mark 'COMPLETED' to a huge percentage of ideas in this feedback forum? Open the Zapier floodgates.

There are some conversations around here talking about getting Zapier to do stuff with other things like Contacts, Slack, etc. While nice... those things only scratch the surface and only help those of us that use those specific services.

What about using Zapier to integrate Repairshopr WITH REPAIRSHOPR.

The possibilities are absolutely endless.

Trigger:
- New ticket created by ABC Company.

Possible Actions:
- Email the customer saying a new ticket is opened. Right now, if email is selected, when creating a ticket the customer gets the same exact email as if you just wrote an emailed comment. There's no indication that a new ticket was opened. There's no way to formally acknowledge the ticket was received and say some things that would manage the customer's expectations. 'we respond to tickets in the order we received them in. we're open from 9-5.' etc. etc.
- If there's an overdue invoice, send an email to the tech who opened the ticket alerting them.
- Does ABC Company have a certain SLA / Contract / Warranty ? Change ticket priority to HIGH. Send email to the team that handles high priority tickets.
- If it's a certain type of customer, automatically fill in some custom fields.
- Automatically create an estimate based on the issue type.

- Automatically add additional addresses to the emaill address notify box.

Trigger:
- Ticket Resolved
Actions:
- Create a warranty / contract / SLA if certain conditions are met.
- Send email notice to customer that their ticket has been closed.
- Create reminder for tech to follow up with a phone call if certain conditions in the ticket are met.
- Create follow up or rework ticket if certain conditions are met.
- Automatically assign ticket to specific person (supervisor) if ticket was closed by a specific person. (hell, you could make a 'Under Review' ticket status that would handle this better)
- Automatically generate an invoice of anything that is unbilled.

Other random things:

• Automatically send email back to customer if they respond to a ticket owned by someone who is currently in a meeting.


• Automatically create reminders / emails / tasks if tickets get stale.

I will personally fly out to wherever the hell Troy and the gang are and I'll buy the whole team a delicious meal at a fine establishment like Applebees. And drinks. oh there WILL be drinks.
