What information does XANT need to provision a Playbooks account
The process to provision a Playbooks account and connect it to your CRM requires a live meeting with a XANT team member. The following instructions outline what you can do to prepare for this meeting to make setup a breeze.
Required Information
Work with your dedicated XANT technical resource to provision a Playbooks account.
You will need to gather and provide the following information:

In order to provision the Playbooks account, XANT will need the First Name, USER ID, and email address of the Integration User. See Additional Integration User Information section below with details.
- Geographical Location(s) of Users. Currently Playbooks can be provisioned for North America, EMEA, and APAC (with some exclusions). Consideration of where callers and callees are physically located is important in order to provide the best possible call quality.
