How to connect Vicidial with Laravel

We will need to install a package to use Vicidial API.

composer require masterfermin02/vicidial-api-wrapper

Add the Vicidial API user and password to the .env file.

VICIDIAL_API_USER={USER}
VICIDIAL_API_PASS={USER}
VICIDIAL_URL=

Create a new service provider class on App\Providers with the name VicidialServiceProvider.

<?php

namespace App\Providers;

use Vicidial\Api\Wrapper\Admin\Client as VicidialAdmin;

class VicidialServiceProvider
{
    public function register()
    {
        $this->app->singleton(VicidialAdmin::class, function ($app) {
            return new VicidialAdmin(
                env('VICIDIAL_URL'),
                env('VICIDIAL_API_USER'),
                env('VICIDIAL_API_PASS')
            );
        });
    }
}

Add the new service provider to the config app on the providers list:

\App\Providers\VicidialServiceProvider::class,

Now we only need to query the leads from Salesforce and then send them to Vicidial:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers\Vicidial;

use Illuminate\Http\Response;

class SaleForceController extends Controller {
  
  public function sendToVicidial(VicidialAdmin $admin): Response
  {
	$leads = Forrest::query('SELECT 
	Id,
	FirstName,
	LastName,
	Email,
	PhoneNumber
	FROM Lead')->records;

	foreach ($leads as $lead) {
	  $admin->add_lead([
	  	'first_name' => $lead->FirstName,
		'last_name' => $lead->LastName,
		'email' => $lead->Email,
		'phone_number' => $lead->PhoneNumber,
	  ]);
	}
  }
	
}
