A phone call inside Salesforce should behave like every other Salesforce record: visible, logged, and tied to the right account without extra steps. The 360 CTI product is built directly on the Salesforce platform rather than connected to it through a third-party bridge, so call data, routing rules, and reports live in standard Salesforce objects from the first call.
Check this before you book time with sales. It saves everyone a call.
| You’re a good fit if… | Status |
| You run Sales Cloud and want calling inside the same records reps already work in | Required edition |
| You also use Service Cloud or Experience Cloud for support or community workflows | Fully compatible |
| You’ve outgrown the native Salesforce Dialer (no power dialer, no multi-level IVR) | Core use case |
| You’re currently paying for an Open CTI bridge between your phone system and Salesforce | Direct replacement |
| You need a phone system with no Salesforce connection at all (standalone PBX only) | Not the use case |
| The Setup You Likely Have Now | What Changes With 360 CTI |
| The native Salesforce Dialer covers basic click-to-dial but needs separate licensing, admin provisioning, and permission set assignment per user. It has no power dialer and no multi-level IVR. A third-party CTI tool, meanwhile, usually connects through the Open CTI framework, adding an integration layer between your phone system and Salesforce. | It installs as a native managed package, so there’s no Open CTI bridge translating between systems. Call logs, recordings, transcripts, and dispositions write directly into standard Salesforce objects, and reporting runs through the same Salesforce report builder your team already uses for pipeline. |
| Capabilities | What it Does | Where it Helps |
| Click-to-Dial | Dial from any lead, contact, account, opportunity, or case record. | Removes manual dialing and number lookup. |
| Power Dialer | Auto-dial a prepared call list with Break, Call, or Skip controls between calls. | Speeds up outbound campaigns and lead follow-up sequences. |
| Inbound Screen Pop | Matches caller ID to the right Salesforce record the moment the phone rings. | Gives agents customer context before they say hello. |
| Automatic Call Logging | Captures call direction, duration, outcome, and recording link without manual entry. | Removes inconsistent notes and missed dispositions. |
| IVR & Call Routing | Routes inbound calls by department, region, skill, or agent availability. | Cuts transfers and reduces caller wait time. |
| Transfer & Conferencing | Moves or merges live calls to add the right person without dropping the customer. | Speeds up resolution on cross-department issues. |
| Auto-Forwarding | Forwards an unanswered call to up to nine backup numbers in sequence. | Reduces missed calls when the primary owner is away. |
| Voice Broadcast | Sends a prerecorded message as an outbound call to a Salesforce list, with DNC opt-outs excluded automatically | Reaches many contacts at once for announcements or reminders without tying up an agent. |
Coaching insights run on top of these capabilities, pulling talk patterns from transcripts so managers can review calls without listening to full recordings.
| Capabilities | What it Does | Where it Helps |
| Real-Time Transcription | Converts live calls to searchable text as the conversation happens. | Makes every call searchable without manual notes. |
| Sentiment Analysis | Flags tone shifts during a call as it’s transcribed. | Surfaces at-risk conversations for manager review. |
