When a client comes to us who has already independently placed an advertisement on Facebook, as a rule, he already has a page, an advertising office and a pixel (that is, the code that needs to be placed on the site to collect the audience and track events). For our convenience, we make ourselves administrative access to customer data and work through the Business Manager. But if a client created a pixel from a personal page, and not from an organization’s page, then access to it is impossible.

Why do you need GeoIP

Your task is to show different phones / prices / availability of goods depending on the user's city? Or maybe you want to simplify the user ordering? - These tasks rest on the automatic determination of the country / city by IP-address.

Is it difficult to locate a user by IP address? Probably not difficult. But to do it qualitatively - the task is not for the faint of heart. There are several reasons for this:

1. Accuracy is extremely low and varies depending on the base of IP-addresses.

2. IP addresses are constantly changing their location, and site owners forget to update their databases.

3. Developers have a temptation to go along the curve track and start accessing online services.

4. Developers too lazy to do caching

5. The name of the city, which returns the geo-base, it is difficult to associate with the site location and business logic.

6. In Bitrix there is no ready-made component to display / change the city

The difference in labor intensity between “and so come down” and “reliable solution” is 20-40 man-hours. We stuffed cones for a long time, and when we’re tired of it, we put together all our developments in one cool module for Bitrix.

The main goal of any online store is the sale of goods or services. One of the main tools for making sales through the online store is, of course, a shopping cart. In the article we will try to figure out why this tool is often not an assistant, but, on the contrary, a hindrance in the “went to the site — saw — acquired” algorithm.

For those who want to find a panacea for the lack of sales through the online store in this article, we have some advice - think in a comprehensive way, do not look for the source of problems in only one place. We analyzed the baskets in online stores and reviewed the errors encountered.

I can’t say that every online store has a snowflake personality, but there are still several large groups for which some tips will ultimately bring profit, while others are not relevant. So read, taking into account the profile of your activity.

Bitrix24 CRM is popular with small business CRM having great opportunities, even for free. API Bitrix24 allows to integrate it easily with other systems even in cloud version (we wrote about successful integration Bitrix24 CRM with  Twilio SMS).

Zapier is a convenient visual constructor for WEB-system automation. Zapier allows to assemble workflows at Trello, Gmail, Wordpress etc into a unified process. At the moment (while we are writing this article) at Zapier there are no units ready for connection with Bitrix24 CRM.

In this article we will show how to set interaction between Zapier and Bitrix24 CRM.

Bitrix24 module Workflows is a versatile tool for business processes automation. Via the module you can gather data, make calculations and save the result.

Not every automation workflow session is efficient. For example, if an employee has to call several clients sequentially to ask questions and write down the answers to be automatically processed.

The Workflows module doesn’t have integration with Bitrix24 telephony. Time is valuable. That is why we minimized the time for switching between Bitrix24 tasks, telephony, contact card and questionnaire.

We have trained Bitrix24 to manage phone calling via the Workflows.

If a company has two or more employees responsible for leads at CRM Bitrix24 there arises a question of distributing leads among the employees. At present CRM Bitrix24 has no such function and every time the responsible person is assigned by the manager. How to automate the process? INTERVOLGARU offers several simple decisions to  solve the problem.

At first you should define the order for the leads distributing. We identified several most common decisions.

The business produces a lot of documents: mails, contracts, acts, bills, invoices, reconciliation acts, etc. This paper work is enjoyable for young businessmen , because it gives the feeling of company’s growth.

If a  company has more than 10 employees, then the number of people  who are responsible for approving of and signing documents grows. The new positions appears: project managers, sellers, lawyers and bookkeepers. All of them participate in the workflow. Clients and vendors also edit the documents and wait for a quick response.

You just can’t waste your time running around, looking for versions of documents, sending mails with the edited contracts. And the person in charge will never know where the exact document or person is.

Paper work and sending e-mails is time-wasting and can spread chaos.

The solution we would recommend is Document Automation Systems (DAS).

It happens that business growth generates problems. It becomes difficult to follow  every current process, deal and request. It is almost impossible to analyze the database of contacts by hand.

Employees control is complicated due to the lack of bounds between the client base and documents. Sometimes there is no actual client base.

Our clients often come to INTERVOLGARU with similar problems.

The article is written for heads of sales departments. The information is useful for IT directors who are looking for features to boost sales .
Heads of sales departments pick up sales information, seek for sales growth and sales team efficiency.
We will tell you how to customize Bitrix24 for the objectives.

There is an Australian coach. He uses free cloud version Bitrix24 for managing trainings. Bitrix24 sent info SMS to clients using Twilio (https://www.twilio.com/) as the SMS provider.  Currently there is an SMS integration between Twilio and Bitrix24. The problem is that Bitrix24 not receive the messages from Twilio or no two way SMS communication. Incoming SMS was available at Twilio Personal Account only.

The client invests in automation and business processes. To be faster and more efficient, they actively use online databases and services. Starting with the bailiffs' database and ending with the automatic transfer of the debtor’s case to court.

This material is of relevance for synchronizing self-hosted Bitrix24 with Active Directory and LDAP.

The article is long, so let us start with the conclusion. We often have to solve the task of synchronizing Active Directory with Bitrix24. The tools needed are available, but some additional setups are required. This article is about fine-tuning methods and solving problems related to such informational exchange.  

We will consider a specific example. Our customer is a large production company. There is a configured domain controller and Active Directory with a list of users.   

The task is to transfer users to Bitrix24 and set up synchronization. For the purpose of synchronizing information from the user fields and during user deactivation in Active Directory, it was deactivated in Bitrix24.

The self-hosted Bitrix24 version has a standard module for this task - “AD/LDAP integration”.

Prior to synchronization, this module needs to be installed or updated.

It is possible to set up periodic synchronization. The basic setup makes it possible to define periodicity only in hours. We set synchronization for every hour. It makes sense to increase this time to 24 hours after portal setup is complete, as Active Directory data normally seldom change.

Important! The synchronization itself occurs only after user authentication at the portal. If the user has not visited the portal, it is necessary to press ‘Activate’ in the user list to enforce synchronization. Otherwise, the user will not be synchronized until they enter the portal.

Developers of cloud-based CRM Bitrix 24 are quick in reacting to changes in demand and often release new versions.

Another large-scale update was presented in spring, 2018.

Let us go over all the new features in detail.

In this article:

• What is the most important thing about the Bitrix24 Hong Kong update?

• How will the work of clients and implementers change?

• Which new market is Bitrix gaining a foothold in?

The most important question is who stands to gain from using Bitrix24? What sort of companies should adopt Bitrix24? What does the future hold? 

Why "migrate" from the cloud version of Bitrix24 to the on-premise edition, how to prepare correctly for the migration and what surprises you may be waiting for along the way - we will try to understand in the article.

First, let's look at the advantages and disadvantages of the cloud version and on-premise edition of Bitrix24 and the signs that it's time for you to migrate to the on-premise version.
