  1. Do you have ZOHO CRM on the horizon? Are you able to share a road map of CRM apps you are going to or considering to integrate to? Salesforce is a good start, I would like to request Zoho CRM.

    1. Please open a feature request at issues.freepbx.org.  As a publicly traded company we can not disclose or talk about roadmaps.

      1. Tony, is there a way we can try the Zoho integration without spending the $275 at this moment?

        1. No we don't have any type of free trial. 

    2. You will see we have added both Salesforce and Zoho

  2. I understand that the application is divided in 2, one part on pbx and the other on CRM server (SuiteCRM for my instance).

    I tried other similar solution (before migrating to freepbx) and I found out that the CRM server module/portion would not work with a CRM running on IIs and MS sql server.

    it this solution compatible with MS Sql server .... on the CRM part...

    Thank you

    1. I doubt it will work with Windows. 

  3. Hi, will the CRM Link module along with Zulu and Generic API work with a hosted CRM called bullhorn?

    Thanks.
