Set Up Omni-Channel and a Lightning Console App
Service Cloud Voice uses Omni-Channel to send calls to reps in your Lightning console
app. Reps use the Phone tab in the Omni-Channel utility to accept or decline calls and use other
call controls.
To get started, assign the automatically generated custom permission, which contains the service presence status set to reps. Then create a Lightning console app and add the Omni-Channel utility to the app.
-
Assign Partner Telephony Permission Set to reps.
There’s an automatically generated permission set with the label “Partner Telephony Permission Set.” This permission set contains an automatically generated Service Presence Status called “Available for Voice.” Assign the reps in the contact center to this permission set.
