Vodia Hub brings click to call and desktop call control to Windows, making it easier for users to place, answer, manage, and automate calls from the applications they already use every day. With system wide tel: link handling, inbound call screen pops, queue details, and automation support, Vodia Hub helps connect the Vodia PBX with Outlook, CRMs, browsers, documents, and other Windows tools. Users can keep working without manually copying phone numbers, opening the user portal, or switching between applications just to handle a call.
At Vodia, we’ve spent much of 2026 building on V70 and improving the everyday experience for administrators, partners, and users of the Vodia PBX. We continue to innovate in our quest to provide enterprises and SMBs with a business communication solution that’s feature-rich, robust, secure, and easy-to-use.
With V70.4, we introduced several improvements across the platform, including a guided setup experience, context-aware AI assistance in the Admin Portal, a refreshed User Web Portal, a new directory panel with quick links and notes, and backend enhancements across provisioning, troubleshooting, call handling, device support, registration management, and platform reliability.
What is Vodia Hub?
Vodia Hub is a Windows companion app that lives in the system tray and stays connected to a single Vodia PBX extension. Its main purpose is simple: make calling easier from anywhere on the desktop.
Instead of opening the Vodia user portal, switching applications, or manually copying and pasting phone numbers, users can click a phone number in a Windows application and place the call through their Vodia extension.
That means phone numbers in browsers, CRMs, documents, Microsoft Outlook, and other Windows applications can become part of the calling workflow. Vodia Hub handles tel: links system-wide, so calls can start from the tools users already work in every day.
Vodia Hub isn’t a replacement for the Vodia user portal, but a desktop companion that lets users control their calls without keeping the portal open or visible.
Click-to-Call
Vodia Hub registers itself as the system-wide handler for tel: URIs on Windows. This means any application that presents a phone number as a tel: link, not only browsers, will route the call via Vodia Hub.
Outlook is the most common example. When a user opens a contact in Outlook, including the desktop app, the phone number in the contact card is already a tel: link. Clicking it dials through the user’s Vodia extension immediately, without opening a browser or switching to the user portal.
The same workflow can apply to CRMs, websites, documents, and other Windows applications that support clickable phone numbers. For users who make calls throughout the day, Vodia Hub removes extra steps and keeps calling closer to the work they are already doing.
Inbound call control
Vodia Hub also improves the inbound call experience. When a call comes in, users get a desktop screen-pop with caller information and call controls, so they can answer, reject, manage, or act on the call without leaving the application they are working in.
For queue calls, Vodia Hub can also display queue call details, helping agents understand the context of the call before or while they answer. This gives users more information at the right moment, without forcing them to switch back to the PBX interface.
For teams that handle customer calls while working in Outlook, CRMs, support systems, browsers, or internal tools, this helps keep the call experience connected to the rest of the workday.
Automations
Vodia Hub also gives users the ability to fire automations from the desktop. This makes it possible to connect inbound calls with other business workflows, such as CRM lookups, customer records, internal tools, or other actions that help users respond faster.
For example, an incoming call can be used to support a lookup, open a related record, or trigger another workflow connected to the caller’s number. This makes Vodia Hub more than a click-to-call tool. It becomes a practical bridge between the Vodia PBX and the Windows applications teams use every day.
We continue to build out V70 as the foundation for a flexible and powerful business communications ecosystem. To find out more about V70.4, Vodia Hub, and the Vodia PBX, please get in touch at sales@vodia.com or +1 (617) 861-3490.
The Vodia Partner Program and new Vodia Partner Portal give service providers, MSPs, system integrators, and technology partners a clearer way to grow their Vodia business. Partners can earn status points through revenue, certifications, customer acquisition, referrals, and other activities, then use those points to progress through partner levels and unlock higher discounts. The launch also includes a limited-time Summer Launch Promotion, giving new partners a faster path toward Gold status and a 20% discount.
V70 of the Vodia PBX introduces flexible service flags that help organizations automate call routing, scheduling, queue management, announcements, and communication workflows throughout the day. Service flags can be configured manually or automatically to control how calls are handled during business hours, after hours, holidays, or special events. They can also be chained together for more advanced routing logic and integrated with external calendars such as Google Calendar to support dynamic scheduling and operational flexibility across business environments.
Vodia’s PBX now integrates with Keycloak OpenID Connect, providing secure single sign-on for users so they can access all connected applications without repeated authentication. Logging out from one application automatically logs the user out of all connected systems, simplifying user management and improving security. Keycloak, a Cloud Native Computing Foundation project, supports standard protocols including OpenID Connect, OAuth 2.0, and SAML, offering enterprise-grade identity and access management. To ensure proper integration, Keycloak user emails must match the corresponding PBX extension emails. Complete guidance is available in the Vodia Keycloak integration guide, with additional details in the Keycloak official documentation.
