Details:
· Navigation: Access the API Module from the admin dashboard.
· Configuration Steps:
o Enable API access in the system settings.
o Generate API keys and tokens for authentication.
o Set permissions and access levels for API users.
o Define endpoints for data exchange.
· Benefits:
o Allows secure and controlled access to system data.
o Supports integration with CRM, ERP, or other third-party platforms.
o Provides automation capabilities for data transfer and task execution.
Example Use Case:
· Admin configures an API to automatically push new customer leads from the CRM to the dialer system in real-time.
