In general, All the third party features of our ringcentral-embeddable supported and some content insert:

• For CRM contact phone number text, we make it click-to-call link.

• For CRM contact info page, we will add a click-to-call button in proper position.

Need nodejs 8.10+/npm, recommend using nvm to install nodejs/npm.

Then let's create an extension project with ringcentral-embeddable-extension-factory:

npx ringcentral-embeddable-extension-factory my-app

Looks like this:

1. build content.js

# install dependencies, requires nodejs8.10+
npm i

# create config file, and set proper thirdPartyConfigs.serviceName
cp config.sample.js config.js

# then run it
npm start

# edit src/*.js, webpack will auto-rebuild,
# after rebuild, do not forget to refresh in extension page

1. Go to Chrome extensions page.
2. Open developer mode
3. Load dist as unpacked package.
4. Go to the CRM site to check

For now it is just a widget, you can call with it, to make all the features work, still need more developer work.

To make it easier, we already set common modules to reduce developer efforts, you could set proper selectors, methods to make all features to work:

• Edit src/chrome-extension/config.js to make click-to-call related features to work
• Follow the guide in src/chrome-extension/features/third-party-api.js to make all third party features to work.
• Further more you can edit dist/manifest.json and dist/background.js to do more customization work.
• And you can always read Realworld code examples to get some hint about how to do it.

• Create an app from https://developer.ringcentral.com/, make sure you choose a browser based app, and set all permissions, and add https://ringcentral.github.io/ringcentral-embeddable/redirect.html to your redirect URI list, Edit config.js.

• Fill your RingCentral app's clientID and appServer in config.js.

  ringCentralConfigs: {
    // your ringCentral app's Client ID
    clientID: 'your-clientID',

    // your ringCentral app's Auth Server URL
    appServer: 'your ringCentral app Auth Server URL'
  },
