The Contactual CTI Connect software must be successfully installed on each Agent computer and the shortcut to this integration should be available on the desktop or listed in your computer programs. 2. This Contactual CTI Connect installation and configuration tasks are done by your Salesforce.com system administrator. A separately available Contactual CTI Connect Installation Manual covers these steps. Notes: Version 6.6 • This Contactual CTI Connect software is also sometimes shown as “SalesforceCTI” or “Salesforce.com Call Center Adapter” in the screen shots that follow. • Hard phone or soft phone configuration specifics and software may also add steps to your use of the Contactual CTI Connect for Salesforce CRM. Example: if a separate softphone is a part of your configuration, agents may also need to logon to this application prior to logging on to Salesforce and Contactual prior to call handling. • For optimal call queue handling and reporting, Contactual recommends each Call Center agent profile’s phone number is set to their Contactual username. This setting will automatically route calls, based on agent status, to available agents. Call handling (in and out bound) will then be conducted via the Contactual user interface inside the Salesforce browser window and keypad, etc. 4 8x8, Inc Agent User Guide - Contactual CTI Connect for Salesforce CRM Taking Calls To start handling calls - follow the steps. 1.
