FAQs

A Salesforce calling solution is software that connects a telephone system to Salesforce, enabling agents to make and receive calls, view caller records, and log call outcomes without leaving the CRM. It is powered by CTI technology and includes a softphone dialer embedded inside the Salesforce Lightning interface. 

Salesforce's native calling (the Salesforce Dialer) is a basic click-to-dial add-on that handles simple inbound and outbound calls. It does not include a Power Dialer, multi-level IVR, skill-based routing, or auto-forwarding. A third-party CTI integration like 360 CTI delivers the full feature set required for outbound sales campaigns and contact center operations, while running natively inside Salesforce. 

At minimum: click-to-dial, automatic call logging, inbound screen pop, call recording, and IVR. For sales teams and contact centers, add: Power Dialer with call list management, multi-level IVR with text-to-speech, skill-based call routing, availability status management, auto-forwarding to mobile, DND opt-out automation, and call analytics through Salesforce reporting objects. 

The setup involves selecting a CTI-compatible telephony solution, installing it from the AppExchange (for native solutions), configuring call center settings in Salesforce, assigning phone numbers to users, and configuring IVR flows. Native solutions like 360 CTI install as managed packages with no external API configuration required. Salesforce documents the core considerations for phone integration as a useful starting reference. 

For basic click-to-dial on a small team, the native Salesforce Dialer is sufficient. For outbound sales campaigns, contact centers, or any team requiring Power Dialing, IVR, advanced routing, or AI features, a native third-party CTI solution that stores all data in Salesforce objects without external APIs is the right choice. 360 CTI is built specifically for this use case and operates entirely within Salesforce.
