# CDR Bridge Zammad Addon
## Overview
The CDR Bridge addon integrates external communication channels (Signal, WhatsApp, Voice) into Zammad, supporting both the classic UI and the new Vue-based desktop/mobile interfaces.
## Features
### Signal Channel Integration
- Reply button on customer Signal messages
- "Add Signal message" button in ticket reply area
- 10,000 character limit with warning at 5,000
- Plain text format with attachment support
- Full integration with both classic and new Vue-based UI
### WhatsApp Channel Integration
- Reply button on customer WhatsApp messages
- "Add WhatsApp message" button in ticket reply area
- 4,096 character limit with warning at 3,000
- Plain text format with attachment support
- Full integration with both classic and new Vue-based UI
### Voice Channel Support
- Classic UI implementation maintained
- New UI support ready for future implementation
### Channel Restriction Settings (NEW)
- Control which reply channels appear in the UI
- Configurable via `cdr_link_allowed_channels` setting
- Acts as a whitelist while preserving contextual logic
- Empty setting falls back to default Zammad behavior
## Installation
### Prerequisites
- Zammad 6.0+ (for new UI support)
- CDR Bridge backend services configured
- Signal/WhatsApp/Voice services running
### Installation Steps
1. Build the addon package:
```bash
cd packages/zammad-addon-bridge
npm run build
```
2. Install in Zammad:
```bash
# Copy the generated .zpm file to your Zammad installation
cp dist/bridge-vX.X.X.zpm /opt/zammad/
# Install using Zammad package manager
zammad run rails r "Package.install(file: '/opt/zammad/bridge-vX.X.X.zpm')"
# Restart Zammad
systemctl restart zammad
```
## Configuration
### Channel Restriction Settings
Control which reply channels are available in the ticket interface:
```ruby
# Rails console
Setting.set('cdr_link_allowed_channels', 'note,signal message') # Signal only
Setting.set('cdr_link_allowed_channels', 'note,whatsapp message') # WhatsApp only
Setting.set('cdr_link_allowed_channels', 'note,signal message,whatsapp message') # Both
Setting.set('cdr_link_allowed_channels', '') # Default behavior (all channels)
```
**How it works:**
- The setting acts as a whitelist of allowed channels
- Channels must be both in the whitelist AND contextually appropriate
- For example, Signal replies only appear for tickets that originated from Signal
- Empty or unset falls back to default Zammad behavior
- Changes take effect immediately (browser refresh required)
## Development
### Adding New Channels
1. Create TypeScript plugin in `app/frontend/shared/entities/ticket-article/action/plugins/`
2. Add desktop UI plugin in `app/frontend/apps/desktop/pages/ticket/components/TicketDetailView/article-type/plugins/`
3. Add corresponding backend implementation
4. Create database migrations in `src/db/addon/bridge/`
### Building the Package
```bash
# Update version and changelog in bridge-skeleton.szpm
# Build the package
make
# Output: dist/bridge-vX.X.X.szpm
```
### Create a New Migration
Helper script to create new migrations (requires python `inflection` library):
```bash
# Install dependency
apt install python3-inflection # Debian/Ubuntu
# Or: pip install --user inflection
# Create migration
make new-migration
```
## Compatibility
- **Zammad 6.0+**: Both Classic and New UI
- **Browser Support**: All modern browsers
## API Endpoints
### Voice Channel
POST to submission endpoint with `Authorization: SUBMISSION_TOKEN` header:
```json
{
"startTime": "ISO date string",
"endTime": "ISO date string",
"to": "fully qualified phone number",
"from": "fully qualified phone number",
"duration": "recording duration string",
"callSid": "unique call identifier",
"recording": "base64 encoded binary",
"mimeType": "binary mime-type string"
}
```
### Signal/WhatsApp Channels
