Objective

• Install the Salesforce Integration Package
• Edit the New Call Center to Enable it for 8x8 Work or Contact Center or Both
• Add Salesforce Users to the New Call Center
• Configure the Salesforce Lightning Utility Bar

• The 8x8 Salesforce integration is not a softphone, and so it provides no audio services. It is effectively a control panel and is required to work in conjunction with 8x8 Work for Desktop, 8x8 Work for Mobile, or a desk phone.
• Disable popup blocking for 8x8 applications in your web browser. This integration will be affected by popup blocking in both Classic and Lightning modes.
• Third-party cookies must be allowed for the 8x8 communication panel to work.
• Google Chrome is the officially recommended and supported web browser for all 8x8 voice integrations.
• 8x8 integration with Salesforce is currently available in the United States, the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.

Applies To

• 8x8 Work
• 8x8 Contact Center
• Salesforce

Procedure

• Version 1.2 refers to the application version as listed in Salesforce Installed Packages.
• Version 3.2 refers only to 8x8's internal version numbering of the integration.

1. Install the v3.2 package linked below.
2. Select Install for All Users.

Install the 8x8 v3.2 Integration Package into Salesforce

   • Users will only see the integration communication panel if they have been added to the 8x8 call center in Salesforce, which is installed with the integration. Users must be added to the call center manually, by an admin.
     
     
     
4. Click Done to complete the package installation.
