Application integration
Control your phone from Outlook
The M5 Connect hosted plug-in for Microsoft Outlook improves click-to-dial functionality, allowing users to easily and instantly dial contact phone numbers on their M5 phones from within the Outlook application. Click-to-dial eliminates “fat finger” dialing mistakes and accelerates the interaction with customers, colleagues and partners.
M5 Connect can be used to dial a number contained in an email message or signature line. M5 Connect will recognize phone numbers in an email, add SmartTags* for easy dialing with or without caller ID enabled, and provide a drop-down selection for dialing. Of course, you can also dial phone numbers in contact records. Add a phone number to a contact once, and never dial it again.
- Speed & Stability – M5 Connect for Outlook is a hosted plug-in, avoiding the stability and installation issues caused by other CTI (Computer Telephony Integration) client-based applications.

- Supported Outlook Versions - The following versions of Outlook are supported: 2003, 2007 and 2010 (SmartTags are not supported for Microsoft Outlook 2003).
