CloudCX's integration with Salesforce enables seamless access to customer information within the CloudCX Agent Console and facilitates the convenient synchronization of data from CloudCX to Salesforce. This integration ensures a uniform customer information management experience and enhances agent productivity.
This platform offers two methods for a Tenant to connect to Salesforce:
Connect to Salesforce through the default CRM application configured by the provider.
Connect to Salesforce using the Tenant's own CRM application. For further information, please refer to the details providedhttps://cloudfon.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CX/pages/276824174/Custom+Configurate+Salesforce+in+CloudCX+Tenant.
