Open CTI Softphone for the Contact Center

Integrate the Contact Center with Open Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) Softphone to help contact center agents seamlessly manage members’ calls directly in Salesforce.

Available in: Lightning Experience

Available in: Enterprise and Unlimited Editions with Health Cloud


Open CTI is a JavaScript API that displays CTI functionality in a browser, so there’s no need to install a CTI adapter.

If you want to opt for Amazon Connect, you can use Service Cloud Voice instead of Open CTI.

Note

Here’s how the Open CTI Softphone integration works.
  • The member calls the contact center.
  • The telephony system identifies the member and collects data such as member account number.
  • To retrieve member records, such as account details, the CTI adapter passes the member’s collected data to Salesforce via web services.
  • The results of the search are sent to the CTI adapters.
  • The CTI Adapter sends HTTP requests via Salesforce Open CTI to execute the incoming call screen pop, and update the softphone status.
