FAQs

It connects your phone system to Salesforce so calls get made, received, and logged inside the CRM instead of a separate tool. The real payoff is that conversations stay tied to pipeline, cases, and follow-ups without reps manually updating three systems after every call. 

Basic logging just records that a call happened, after the fact. CTI integration connects the call in real time, so the matching record opens automatically, outcomes get captured consistently, and workflows can trigger follow-ups while the call is still fresh. That real-time piece is the entire point of Open CTI. 

No. The native Salesforce Dialer handles basic click-to-dial. It's not a power dialer, doesn't include multi-level IVR or skill-based routing, and needs its own licensing and permission set setup separate from whatever else is configured in your org. A third-party CTI integration covers that full feature set natively. 

Once call volume hits the point where manual dialing, manual logging, and missed follow-ups start hurting conversion or resolution rates, which is usually sooner than teams expect. That's the moment context-switching costs start outweighing whatever the CTI tool costs monthly. 

Not even close. SDRs, account executives, renewal teams, and customer success groups all rely on frequent calling, and CTI keeps that outreach tied to CRM context regardless of whether anyone on the team would call themselves a "call center."

Service Cloud Voice runs on Amazon Connect as its telephony backbone, meaning IVR and routing get built inside AWS infrastructure. Salesforce CTI through Open CTI is a bridge framework that connects a vendor's own telephony, routing, and dialer into the Salesforce interface without standing up Amazon Connect yourself. 

No, and this trips up more healthcare orgs than it should. Salesforce's BAA covers Salesforce's own platform. It doesn't automatically extend to AppExchange apps layered on top. Any CTI vendor handling patient data needs its own separate BAA confirmed directly, not assumed.
