What Should Salesforce Call Center Software Include?
Salesforce call center software should include inbound routing and IVR, queues, outbound dialers, a softphone with screen pops, automatic call logging, live monitoring, recording, AI transcription and reporting, all inside Salesforce. With every call tied to a record, agents and supervisors work from one system instead of a separate phone platform.
How it works in Salesforce
Call center software for Salesforce usually covers:
- Inbound: IVR, skill-based and sticky agent routing, queues and callbacks.
- Outbound: click to dial, power and predictive dialers, campaigns.
- Agent experience: softphone, screen pops, dispositions and automatic logging.
- Supervision: live monitoring, whisper and barge, recordings and dashboards.
- AI: transcription, sentiment, summaries and AI voice agents.
Teams choose between Salesforce's own options, such as Service Cloud Voice, and AppExchange call center apps. Compare them on the features above, setup effort, country coverage and total cost per agent.
Example
A 60-agent contact center moves its phones into Salesforce. Calls route by skill and Case owner, supervisors coach live from a dashboard, and every call appears on the customer's record.

Does Salesforce have built-in call center software?
Salesforce offers Service Cloud Voice. Many teams also use AppExchange call center apps, depending on features, coverage and cost.
Can call center software handle inbound and outbound calls?
Yes. Most Salesforce call center software covers both.
Do agents need training to use it?
Some, but less than a separate phone system, because agents work in the Salesforce screens they already know.
