## Open calling partner in 1 click with the OpenERP-Asterisk connector

Akretion, the author of the [OpenERP-Asterisk connector](https://launchpad.net/openerp-asterisk-connector), is proud to announce the immediate availability of a new feature on the connector: the ability to open the calling partner in one click in OpenERP.

Here is a typical usage scenario of this new feature:

1. Someone calls you and you pickup the phone. You click on the button *Open calling partner* in OpenERP : OpenERP sends a query to Asterisk to get a list of the current phone calls.

2. If OpenERP finds a phone call involving the user's phone, it gets the phone number of the calling party.

3. OpenERP searches the phone number of the calling party in its database and, if a record matches, it shows the name of the related Partner and proposes to open it, or open its related sale orders or invoices:

Another incredible thing about this new feature is that it's already fully documented on the [dedicated web page](/en/products-and-services/openerp-asterisk-voip-connector) on Akretion's Web site.

This page also presents Akretion's service offering to help you deploy the OpenERP-Asterisk connector. Who can better help you deploy this solution than the author of the module himself ?

Please note that this new feature is only available for OpenERP **version 6.1** for the moment. But Akretion can backport it to your version of OpenERP on request.
