📋 What it's about
Salesforce Integration is used to automatically open a task for every call according to the conditions (Queue, Call status or Outbound) set in the trigger: the Salesforce Task or Case that will be created automatically , will be populated with information about the call (managed on XCALLY) and displayed to the agent in the Salesforce environment.
Moreover, with the Integration Tab Integration, it is possible to use the ClicktoCall / LogCall Integration. For instance, from a Salesforce customer tab you can just click on the telephone number and start a conversation with the contact (using the Phonebar): in this case, a new Task object will be created and opened in a dedicated tab, containing all updated information regarding the phone call.
