Overview
CTI (computer telephony integration) is a way of using your Avaya.cx account in an embedded window within Salesforce. The CTI makes it easier for queue users to work in App and Salesforce simultaneously. This removes the need for queue users to manage multiple windows or apps while managing interactions.
The CTI allows you to have App open in an embedded window while logged into Salesforce.
While logged into Salesforce, when an inbound or outbound call rings in the embedded App window, the system searches for and pulls up a record in Salesforce containing information about the customer (if the data exists in Salesforce).
For example, if a customer calls into a queue, the CTI searches for the customer’s data in Salesforce and displays it to the queue user automatically. This removes the need for queue users to manually pull up data in Salesforce while managing interactions.
See the section below for links to resources that will help you get the CTI set up in Salesforce.
