Call Logging and Data Exchange

Contact Sync

Magento customers are imported into CloudTalk as contacts when the integration is first saved. From that point, new contacts and updates from Magento are refreshed every 15 minutes. Updates to existing Magento contacts can also be made through the CloudTalk interface, and will sync back to Magento.

To learn more about how CloudTalk handles duplicate entries, see the Contact Merging guide.

Each synced contact includes a link to their Magento profile and is tagged with magento in CloudTalk.

Orders

Orders placed before the integration was set up are not automatically synchronized into CloudTalk. A CloudTalk support member can do this manually on request. All new and updated orders from the time of installation are synchronized automatically.

Order data is displayed alongside customer information under Contact Info. From the CloudTalk Dashboard, go to the Contacts tab and click the magnifying glass next to the relevant contact.

With Magento integrated, you can view:

  • Order ID

  • Order status (processed, pending, etc.)

  • List of individual items purchased

  • Shipping method

  • Billing and delivery address

  • Total amount and payment status (paid/unpaid)

  • Comments on the order from Magento

  • Date and time the order was placed

  • Quick link to the order detail in Magento

Syncing from CloudTalk to Magento

By clicking the edit icon on an order, agents can also push changes back to Magento:

  • Add notes to Magento orders

  • Change the order status for open orders (Hold, Unhold, Cancel)

These actions can be performed while agents are on a call with the customer.
