Integration with Salesforce

The Salesforce CRM system gives companies a centralized location to store, track, and manage customer information. Information from all teams is presented in a single shared view and flows throughout your company in real time. Integrate Voximplant Kit with Salesforce to empower your managers communicate with customers right from the CRM system and resolve their issues in no time.

To make and receive calls in Salesforce with Voximplant Kit, you need to:

  • Obtain authentication data in Voximplant Kit

  • Set up an integration in Salesforce and install the Voximplant Kit softphone desktop app

Important

The integration can only be fully functional when the contact center is enabled. If the CC functionality is unavailable to you, contact your manager or Voximplant Kit support.

When a customer initiates a call, the desktop softphone shows you an inbound call and allows you to start communication. The CTI panel widget in the lefthand corner of the screen displays the list of associated records (leads and contacts - maximum 20) if any, so you can pick an appropriate record before answering the call.

The widget displays the list of associated records for all inbound calls and outbound calls dialed manually from the softphone.

Salesforce then displays the record you selected and logs the call data into it. You can see the communication history on the Activity tab.
