Prerequisites
1. 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.

The two types of transfer and the buttons to be clicked are listed here:
a. Click the green Initiate Transfer button if you have to speak to the transferee
(another agent or a supervisor) before putting the transfer through. This will
enable you to fill in the agent with a few details of the contact, account, or the
case corresponding to the call. This also enables you to make sure that the
telephone where the call is transferred to is not busy; is not on an answering
machine; or is not in fax mode. This is also known as Consult Transfer. The
caller will be on hold till you click Complete Transfer.
b. Click the orange One-Step Transfer button to transfer the call directly to the
transferee. You can just transfer the call to the transferee without waiting to
check whether the transferee’s telephone is busy, on an answering machine,
or in fax mode. This is also known as Blind Transfer.
A transfer to another agent can also be completed without waiting for an answer. You
can click the Complete Transfer button as soon as the other agent’s phone starts
ringing. This is treated as a Blind Transfer. This is also applicable when another party
is brought into conferencing.
