How do I add the New Callback action to Contacts or Leads?

If you are using Salesforce Classic, and if enabled for the account, an agent can schedule a callback. Scheduling a callback creates a reminder that prompts the agent to call a contact or lead at a time that's more convenient for them.

Before an agent can use this feature, you must add the New Callback action to the publisher actions area on Contact, Lead, or both, objects.

Note

You can currently use this feature only with Contact and Lead objects.

Because quick actions appear in the Chatter feed, to use the New Callback quick action, you must enable Chatter in your Salesforce org.
