Intulse's integration with Rock RMS merges your phone system with your Rock RMS account. With the integration enabled, any screen in the Intulse App that would normally display a simple phone number will instead automatically search your Rock RMS database and return any contact or organization records that match that phone number. There are two parts to the integration between Intulse and Rock, which are detailed below.

To experience the integration between Intulse and Rock, you will need to use the Intulse App.

1. INTULSE STANDARD CRM INTEGRATION

When you receive an incoming call, instead of displaying the caller ID, your phone system will display the name of the contact as it appears in your Rock RMS records. You can click on the caller's name to launch their account within Rock RMS. You can quickly add call notes to a contact's activity and the note will automatically contain all the basic information about the call such as the start time and duration of the call, whether the call was inbound or outbound, and if the call was recorded, a link to the recording. You will be able to start calls to Rock RMS contacts directly from within the Intulse App by simply searching for a contact name on the My Phone screen.

CONNECTING ROCK RMS TO THE INTULSE APP

This guide assumes that you have installed and logged into the Intulse App on any necessary devices. If you need additional information on how to install or navigate the Intulse App, check out this thorough Walkthrough.

Begin by logging into your Intulse App.

1. Select the More menu tab.
2. Select Rock RMS in the More menu.
3. Enter the following details to connect your Rock and Intulse accounts:

• Optionally, you can enter a friendly name for your integration. This can be helpful if you have multiple Rock RMS instances.
• REQUIRED Enter the REST Key of your Rock RMS instance.
  • Inside your Rock RMS instance, navigate to Admin Tools › Security › REST Keys.
  • Create a new REST Key named "Intulse App Integration". When you do this Rock will automatically create a new user, which is how you will control the security settings for the newly created REST Key.
  • From the REST Key List, copy the REST key that was just created. This will be a random string. Paste this key into the REST Key field in your Intulse App.
  • Next navigate to Admin Tools › Security › User Accounts.
  • Select the newly created REST Key. The "Person" will match the name of the REST Key you just created (e.g. Intulse App Integration). Make this newly created person a member of an appropriate security group. We recommend "RSR - Rock Administration".
• REQUIRED Enter the base URL of your RockRMS instance. (e.g. https://rock.mychurch.org)
• Optionally, you can enter the API URL of your RockRMS instance. You should only do this if you have a custom version of Rock running and have changed the default API URL. (e.g. https://rock.mychurch.org/customapi)
• Call logs are automatically created in the Intulse Communications block. Check the box at the bottom of the screen in the Intulse app if you would like to have them created as timeline notes instead.
• Save these settings.

2. ROCK RMS PLUGIN FROM INTULSE

First you will need to install the Intulse plugin which is available for free in the Rock Shop. Then, to fully utilize the Intulse plugin, you need to configure your settings in Rock.

Configure The Phone System Settings

Navigate to your Admin Tools > System Settings > Phone Systems page. Once there you should see an entry for “Intulse Phone System” that you can click on to begin configuration.

1. Set Active to “Yes.”
2. Set Internal Phone Type to “Intulse.” If you’re upgrading from an early version of the plugin you may have created this manually, so it may have a different name. Choose the phone type created to store your internal Intulse extensions.*

Entering your Intulse API Key

Select the More menu tab in your Intulse app and click on API Access. Copy your Organization API Key at the top of this page.

Navigate to the Admin Tools > Communications > Intulse Settings page and enter the Intulse API Key in the appropriate field. If you're updating this plugin from a previous install, then the data should have been copied over automatically. More information on this settings page is available at the bottom of this documentation.

Create Scheduled Job

You will need to add a new Scheduled Job under Admin Tools > System Settings > Jobs Administration in order to have Rock import the call log data from your phone system. Create a new job to match the information below.

1. Set a Name that you will recognize.
2. Set the Job Type to Pbx Cdr Download.
3. Set the PBX Component to Intulse Phone System.
4. Set the Cron Expression to 0 0/15 * 1/1 * ? *. This will create a job that runs every 15 minutes and imports any new call logs.
5. Save your changes.

Viewing Interactions (Phone Call and Text Message History)

Next you will add a communication block that will show a log of phone calls and text messages for each extension. Go to the profile page for a user in your organization. Add a Page Block called “Intulse Communication Block”. Click Save, and then Done. Once this has been created for one user, it will automatically apply to all others.

You should also create a Business (go to Finance > Businesses) that represents your church. Make sure that your church’s telephone number is listed as one of its phone numbers (usually the Work number). Repeat the steps above to add the Intulse Communication Block to this business. It will then apply to any other business as well.

Click to Call Options

There are 2 different options for Click to Call. Select the option your organization will use and make sure your church staff knows which setup they should complete. (Instructions for each option will be provided in the users guide.)

1. Rock provides a basic Click to Call option, which will initiate a call as soon as you click on a phone number. To use Rock's basic version, go to Admin Tools > Communications > Intulse Settings and set Enable Origination to True.
   • To use Rock's Click to Call, EACH user in your system will need to go to their Settings page and set the Call Origination Source to Intulse.
2. Instead we suggest that you use our Intulse Companion App. This free Chrome extension provides a more robust version of Click to Call, turning each phone number into a clickable hotlink. Clicking on any phone number will give you the option to call or text that number from your Intulse app. To use the Companion App, go to Admin Tools > Communications > Intulse Settings and set Enable Origination to False and then download the Companion App from the Chrome Webstore.
   • EACH user on your system will need to download the Intulse Companion App from the webstore. Step-by-step instructions can be found here.

Using Intulse to Send and Receive SMS Messages

As of version 2.3.0 you can now configure Rock to use Intulse to send/receive SMS messages! While there is documentation on how to work with SMS in Rock on their website, we'll quickly go over how to configure your system to use Intulse to do so.

The first thing you need to do is to go to Admin Tools > Communications > Communication Transports and mark the Intulse Transport as Active. If you're currently using another transport (such as Twilio) you may want to set it to inactive.

The next step is to go to Admin Tools > Communications > Communication Mediums and set the SMS medium to use the Intulse Transport as its Transport Container (and mark it active if it's not).

You're going to need an Intulse phone number that has SMS enabled. Go to Admin Tools > Communications > System Phone Numbers and add a new number using your Intulse phone number. Enter a name and description, and mark it SMS Enabled. This number must have the country code "1" preceding it. So if your number is 717-555-1234, you would need to enter "17175551234".

Next you need to go to Admin Tools > General Settings > Global Attributes and make sure that you've filled in the Internal Application Root as your Rock website URL.

The next step is to navigate to the Admin Tools > Communications > Intulse Settings page. If you set the Internal Application Root in the previous step, you can click on the "Create Webhook" button; this registers your Rock instance with our API so that incoming text messages are routed to Rock. Once you've done this, the button will disappear from the page the next time you visit it, as it only needs to be done once.

Click Save and voilà! You can now use Intulse to send and receive SMS messages through Rock!

SMS Pipelines

As of version 2.4.5 of our plugin, we now support any number of SMS Pipelines that you have within your instance of Rock. The way we accomplish this is by forwarding all incoming SMS messages to your Rock system, where each message is processed by every active pipeline that you have. This means that if you have multiple SMS numbers, you will need to use the SMS Pipeline Actions Filters to make sure that incoming messages are handled by the proper number/pipeline/workflow. Failure to do this could result in the same pipeline action being triggered multiple times, once for each active number.

Managing your Intulse Settings

As of version 2.3.0 we've moved most of the settings that Intulse uses to its own page, located under Admin Tools > Communications > Intulse Settings.

1. API Key - Your Intulse Master API Key which can be found in the Intulse App, is required for all functionality of the plugin.
2. Enable Origination - This indicates whether or not the Intulse plugin uses Rock for call origination (Click to Call). We suggest that you set this to False and instead use our Chrome extension, Intulse Companion App, as it provides greater functionality, allowing you to call or text a number with a single click.
3. Full Import - Setting this to "True" will make the next import refresh ALL of your call and SMS records. This can be taxing and should only be done during off hours. After running a full import, this option will automatically reset to "False." This should only be necessary if something goes terribly wrong with your call log data.
4. Show Recordings - This manages whether call recordings are visible or hidden for every user on your system. If you are worried about users being able to listen to sensitive call recordings that they should not have access to, you may want to turn this off, which will hide the entire recording column on the Intulse Communications Block.
5. Long Code Throttling - The amount of time (in milliseconds) that the system will wait between sending messages to recipients from a long-code number (regular phone number). When carriers detect that a message is not coming from a human, they may filter/block the message. A delay can help prevent this from happening.
6. Create Webhook - If you have set your Internal Application Root, you can click on this button to register your Rock instance with the Intulse API so that any incoming text messages are routed to Rock and picked up by any active SMS Pipelines you have. Once you've done this, the button will disappear from the page the next time you visit it, as it only needs to be done once.

Verify Extensions

EACH user will need to make sure their Intulse Extension is entered correctly on their Rock profile page. This will allow the Intulse phone system to match call logs to the correct user. Detailed instructions will be provided in the users guide. If this information is not entered correctly, calls will not be matched correctly and users will not see accurate call logs within Rock.

Using The Block

Once you have setup your users’ extensions, imported your data, and added your block, you should be able to view a Person’s phone call and SMS history!

Filtering: Click on “Filter Options” to show various options by which you can narrow down your communication history.
Notes: Click on the Edit/Pencil button on an entry to add or edit a note on a call or SMS record.
Recordings: Click on the Load button on right side of an entry to load the call recording. Clicking on the play button will begin playback.
