What is the Sangoma CX Salesforce Connector
A new small form factor Agent Panel integrated with Salesforce that enables the following features and automation:
Agent Panel and Salesforce displayed simultaneously in the same Chrome tab.
Searches and populates Salesforce stored contacts based on Caller ID in inbound and outbound calls.
Call activity created in the contact is populated when handling inbound and outbound calls. The data stored is: Agent that managed the call, From, To, Call Duration, Call Direction ( inbound or outbound), Call Recording URL (if call recording enabled in queue)
Click to Dial on any Salesforce field tagged as phone number.
Prerequisites
Works with all Sangoma CX offerings.
Agents must use a Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge web browser.
Considerations
This connector only works with Salesforce lightning applications.
It only works with extensions associated with the embedded Web phone app (WebRTC). SIP phones or Bridge PSTN extensions are not supported.
It can only dial and search USA and Canadian phone numbers.
Make sure no other Click to Dial or Click to Call Chrome extensions are enabled on the browser used. These extensions may conflict with each other resulting in unexpected behavior.
Login Process
If the Sangoma CX Salesforce Connector is enabled by the Salesforce Administrator:
Log into Salesforce. You will see a button CCaaS with a handset icon in the bottom left corner. Please note the Salesforce Administrator can change the icon, name and position of this button.
Click on the button. This will display the Sangoma CX embedded Agent Panel. Log in providing your Sangoma CX credentials.
If it is your first time logging into the platform, you did not request to remember extension on future logins, or the remembered extension is no longer available for this agent, you will be requested to select an available extension. Select an extension. If you want the interface to automatically use the selected extension in future logins, select the option “Remember the extension on future logins”.
The Chrome or Edge browser may ask to grant the web application to use the microphone and speakers. Accept this request and memorize the setting to avoid getting this message everytime the extension is selected or connected. Once logged in you will see the embedded Agent Panel home screen. You can minimize or detach this Agent Panel using the two buttons available in the upper right corner of the modal window.
For detailed explanation of the Agent Panel, go to the “The Embedded Agent Panel” section.
Receiving Calls
When receiving a call, the embedded Agent Panel will open showing the call with the options to answer or refuse the call, as shown below:
If the phone number is registered with Salesforce, it will automatically open the contact's screen in Salesforce.
The embedded Agent Panel will also record in the contact an activity with the call details. These records are available in the Salesforce Activity tab displayed on the right side of the screen.
If you want to see the call details, within Salesforce click on the registered call under Past Activities. The following Salesforce page will open.
Outbound Calls
On the Salesforce toolbar, you can click on the Contacts option and see the registered contacts. If you want to call any of them, just click on the registered number.
The call will be initiated by the embedded Agent Panel. At the same time the contact information will be presented in Salesforce. A call activity will be created in the contact when the call finishes.
If you want to call a phone number not stored in Salesforce, open the embedded Agent Panel, click the Dialpad icon, type the number and click on the green handset button.
When you end the call, you can redial, report a technical problem with the call, and select a call reason.
The Embedded Agent Panel
