Passing search parameters through a URL (search for a customer via URL)

[pKris]

I'm attempting to integrate(ish) my phone system with WHMCS, currently I have the option when the phone rings from an inbound call to pass a URL to Chrome and have it open the contact record - right now that's Hubspot; however, for the bulk of our staff this is useless and having it open the WHMCS profile would be more useful.

Is it feasible to perform a customer search by phone number through a URL, such as https://whmcs.url/admin/clients.php?phonenumber=1234567890 or something?

The client search expects a POST and so passing the phone number in a get wont work.   What you could do is use a hook that checks for "incomingCallNumber" in get on the clients page, searches, then redirects to the client it found.

Thanks letting me know Steven, as an interim solution I've implemented a solution based on this hook to initiate a search, I'll keep this thread updated if I find something that pulls the client page up automatically rather than initiating an intelligent search.

Hello,

I know this one is old now, but did you find a good solution? I am interessted as well so we can link our phone system with a direct search by phone number i whmcs.

Thanks,
