Configuration Guide
Follow these steps to configure and enable Easy Calling in your tenant
General Settings
Enable Microsoft Planner
This feature allows you to connect your Easy Calling with your Microsoft Planner. This gives you the option of creating an entry in the Microsoft Planner at the touch of a button, which takes over all the information from the Easy Calling
Enable Personal Tasks
With Personal Tasks, users can create tasks in their personal task list (Microsoft Todo) directly from Easy Calling.
Enable Perosnal Contact Creation
With Personal Contact Creation, users can create contacts in their personal address book directly from Easy Calling.
Enabel Send Mail
With Send Mail, users can send emails directly from Easy Calling.
Enable Entra ID Lookup (Name Resolution)
With Entra ID Lookup, you can search for contacts in your organization's Entra ID. The phone numbers must be stored in E164 format (e.g. +41791234567).
The phone number must be stored in Entra in the format E164 so that this integration works properly:
+41XXXXXXXXX | +49XXXXXXXXXXX | etc.
Enable Shared Mailbox Search Lookup (Name Resolution)
Enabling the Shared Mailbox Search enables us to search for telephone numbers of incoming calls in a shared mailbox. The search is just supported in mailboxes that are handled by Easy Contact Sync. If there is an existing contact in your tenant with a matching telephone number, the bot will display the contact information in the call card.
The "Easy Contact Sync" product is required for this feature
Enable Easy Lookup (Name Resolution)
With Easy Lookup, you can search for contacts directly in your third party backends, without synchronising contacts to a Shared Mailbox.
This feature must be set up together with TwinCap First. Additional costs will apply.
Enable Search.ch Integration (Name Resolution)
Enabling the Search.ch Integration enables us to search for telephone numbers of incoming calls in Search.ch. If there is an existing contact in your tenant with a matching telephone number, the bot will display the contact information in the call card.
Please note, that you need your own API Key, to search against Search.ch. You can get an API Key for free directly from Search.ch
Voice App Configuration
The voice app configuration is the core component of Easy Calling. It enables the complete setup and management of the telephony infrastructure.
Click "Add Voice App"
Define a name for this voice app
This name will later be used to automatically create a resource account in the Microsoft Teams Admin Center.
Optional: You can add an individual description to this voice app
Choose between Teams routing and agent routing
Team Routing:
In Teams Routing, you can select an existing team in Microsoft Teams and all users within this team will receive the calls
Agent routing:
In Agent routing, select the individual users who are to receive the call
Selecting the Voice App Manager
The Voice App Manager has the additional right to determine which agents are active within this Voice App. The call will then ring for these agents (agent opt in/out). At the same time, the Voice App Manager can carry out individual configurations such as changing an announcement text
Select how and for what you would like to receive a notification for a call
Create individual tags to categorize your calls and select your Microsoft Planner
Teams Routing must be activated in order to activate the Microsoft Planner
Calling Configuration: Define how many callers can be in the queue at the same time and how long it should ring before the call will be forwarded. Additional settings: - Keeping a call in the queue until timeout even if no agent is available - Observe Teams presence status of agents- - Allow outbound calls - Allow blind transfer
Audio Configuration: Create a welcome message with the help of “Text to Speach” or upload an audio file\
Record a waiting music or upload an audio file

Disconnect Call: The call is terminated. Add disconnect message.

The resource account must have a phone number and a Voice Routing Policy for forwarding to an external phone number to work
This number and policy must be carried out using the following PowerShell commands
Forward to user: The call is forwarded to a specific user
Forward to Another Call Queue: select from available, fully Easy Calling licensed queues
Only call queues created by Easy Calling can be selected
Escalation Queue: Configure additional queue details. this is a chargeable add-on that needs to be licensed separately.

Send to Voicemail: The call is forwarded to voicemail
Select the language and time zone
Optional: Expert Settings
The Expert settings are used for special situations where you can send various events via a webhook. These settings can affect the entire voice app if configured incorrectly
