Route a Voice Call | Salesforce Voice with Telephony Providers Implementation Guide

Use this API to route a voice call or transfer a voice call with Omni-Channel to a rep or agent, queue, or Omni-Channel flow. When a rep selects a transfer target in Omni-Channel, this API passes the call ID (Salesforce VoiceCallId or telephony vendor ContactId) as a parameter. Unlike the Execute an Omni-Channel Flow API, this API provides a single integration point for routing and transferring voice calls with Unified Routing.

The Route a Voice Call API returns only the routing request status of success or failure. Use this API to instruct Omni Channel to route the voice call to a specific target, and don’t depend on the response.

This API is processed if the call belongs to a contact center that has Unified Routing with Omni-Channel enabled.

URI

https://{MyDomain}.my.salesforce-scrt.com/telephony/v1/voiceCalls/{CALL ID}/routeVoiceCall

Where {MyDomain} is a value configured as part of Salesforce Voice setup and {CALL ID} is the Salesforce voiceCallId or the telephony vendor’s contact ID.
