The Windows Operating System includes TAPI as an abstraction layer that allows applications to initiate calls using a standard programming interface. It can be used by applications such as Microsoft Outlook, ConnectWise, and many CRMs to initiate calls from inside the program. Support will not set up these features, and limited support will be available. Whoever is performing these changes must be fully capable of accepting complete responsibility for the function of SIPTAPI. We only offer basic support and provide this for informational purposes. SIPTAPI is considered a "manual" device.

Outlook 2013 Integration
Unfortunately, SIPTAPI was changed with the introduction of office 365, although you can dial using SIPTAPI from the People/Contacts page, you can not dial using their contact card. Many online tutorials suggest adding registry DWORD values; this has been marked as ONLY working as an Office 2010 solution and not Office 2013. Never edit your registry without first creating a complete backup. You are advised NOT to edit your registry if you are unfamiliar with it. Support accepts no liability and will not provide support for any changes made to the registry.
