Screen pop-ups enable the opening of a web page or running a third-party application on a user’s desktop when receiving or answering an incoming call. Users also have the option to manually open screen pop-ups from the call activity panel.

To activate screen pop-ups, go to your Ringotel admin portal, then navigate to organization → connection → Features → Screen Pop-ups.

Enabling Screen Pop-ups

You have the option to enable screen pop-ups in the following modes:

  • Open screen pop-up on incoming call: In this mode, screen pop-ups will open on a user’s desktop as soon as an incoming call comes in.

  • Open screen pop-up after answering an incoming call: In this mode, screen pop-ups will open once a user answers an incoming call on their desktop app.

  • Manual opening of screen pop-up: Screen pop-ups will not automatically open, but users can open them manually via the call activity panel.

  • Screen pop-ups are disabled: Select this option to disable the screen pop-up feature.

In the Screen Pop-up/URL path field, enter a web URL or an absolute path to the application executable file which will be launched on an incoming call. E.g. "https://example.com" or "C:\Program Files\MyApp\myapp.exe".

Personalise Links with parameters

In addition, you can use the following placeholders to personalise the screen pop-up links:

  • $caller$ - caller ID

  • $caller_name$ - caller name

  • $number$ - called number (extension)

  • $username$ - username

  • $called$ - original called number

  • $userid$ - softphone user ID

  • [sip.Header-Name] - pass any non-RFC3261 SIP header value

Example:https://example.com?to=$number$&called=$called$&calling=$caller$&name=$caller_name$&subj=[sip.X-Subject]

For advanced personalisation, you can create custom parameters as described here.
