ThreeCX

Integration with 3CX allows you to automatically import recordings from your phone system into Salescaling for analysis. The connection requires some additional technical steps.

How to connect your 3CX account?

  1. Log in to your Salescaling.

  2. Go to the Integrationsarrow-up-right section in Settings.

  3. Find the 3CX integration and click Connect.

  4. A window will open with two possible connection methods: Username-Password or SFTP. Choose the one that best fits your setup.

1. Connection by Username and Password

This method is the most direct if you have access to the instance credentials.

  • Username: Enter your 3CX username.

  • Password: Enter your password.

  • Instance URL: Enter the URL of your 3CX instance.

Important Note about Permissions: To ensure a secure and complete connection, the 3CX account used for authentication must have Administrator privileges. Only administrators can grant the necessary permissions for third-party applications, such as Salescaling, to access call data.

This method is the most secure and recommended for transferring 3CX recordings to Salescaling. It uses the SFTP protocol with SSH public key authentication.

Why is an SSH Public Key needed?

The SSH public key is a secure authentication method that allows your 3CX system to automatically connect to Salescaling's SFTP server without passwords. This ensures:

  • Security: SSH keys are much more secure than traditional passwords

  • Automation: 3CX can export recordings automatically without manual intervention

  • Isolation: Each client has its own isolated space on the SFTP server

Steps to configure SFTP

1. Generate your SSH key pair

You need to generate an SSH key pair (public and private). The public key is shared with Salescaling, while the private

key remains on your 3CX server.

  1. On Windows:

  2. Open PowerShell as administrator

  3. ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "3cx-salescaling"

  4. When asked where to save the key, press Enter to use the default location

  5. You can add an additional passphrase or leave it blank

    • This will generate two files: id_ed25519 (private key -)

    • DO NOT share id_ed25519.pub

(public key - share with Salescaling)

  1. On Linux/macOS:

  2. Open PowerShell as administrator

  3. Open a terminal

  4. Follow the same instructions as on Windows The keys will be saved in

~/.ssh/

  1. 2. Configure the connection in Salescaling Integrationsarrow-up-right section in Settings

  2. Go to Connect Click on 3CX

  3. Use the SFTP credentials provided by Salescaling

for greater security and reliability.

User Mapping This step is mandatory for both connection methods. It consists of associating the Extension ID (the extension number) of each user in 3CX with their User

Go to in Salescaling. + Add User Mapping 3CX to add as many rows as you need, ensuring that each user from whom you want to import calls is properly mapped.
