How do I set up a NewVoiceMedia agent in Salesforce?

For an agent to use NewVoiceMedia in Salesforce, you must perform the following tasks:

...

Info
If enabled for your account, you can create NewVoiceMedia user accounts based on existing Salesforce users. For information about creating NVM users from Salesforce, see Creating NewVoiceMedia Vonage Contact Center user accounts for existing Salesforce users.

Linking a NewVoiceMedia agent to their Salesforce user record

To use NewVoiceMedia in Salesforce an agent must be able to see and use ContactPad when they log in to Salesforce. You must add two settings to the agent's Salesforce user record:

  • The agent's ID. This links the NewVoiceMedia agent with their Salesforce user record.

  • The call center that the agent will use. This makes ContactPad appear in Salesforce and connects Salesforce to the required call center. For information about specifying the call center that the agent will use, see 230570230.

...

Your NewVoiceMedia agent is now linked to their Salesforce user record.

Adding NVM Agent Id field to your User page layout

Expand

To use NewVoiceMedia in Salesforce, a NewVoiceMedia agent must have a corresponding Salesforce user record. This enables NewVoiceMedia to update Salesforce records with agent actions. To link the NewVoiceMedia agent with their Salesforce user record, add the agent's user ID to their user record in a field called NVM Agent Id. For information about adding an agent's ID to their user record, see 230570230.

To add the agent's ID, you must make the NVM Agent Id field available on their user record.

Note
If you are using the NVM_User page layout—installed when you install NewVoiceMedia into Salesforce—you do not need to perform the following steps. If you want to use a different page layout, you must add the NVM Agent Id field to that page layout.

To add NVM Agent Id to your User page layout, perform the following steps.

  1. Go to your User object's Page Layouts within Setup in Salesforce.
  2. Locate the page layout that you want to add the NVM Agent Id field to and click Edit alongside. The page layout appears in edit mode.

  3. In the top section, click Fields. The available fields to be added to the page appear.
    Drag the NVM Agent Id field down to the Additional Information area.

  4. Click Save. The page layout is saved.

To use this field, you must now assign the page layout to different user profiles. For information on how to assign page layouts, see 230570230.

Assigning User page layout

Expand

A user's profile determines which page layout or layouts a NewVoiceMedia user sees in different areas of Salesforce. You can assign appropriate page layouts to profiles.

To assign page layouts to user profiles, perform the following steps.

Note

You can assign any page layout or layouts to your user profiles. These steps assign the NVM_User page layout to all profiles as an example.

Users who are responsible for adding agents' IDs to their corresponding Salesforce records must use a page layout that contains the NVM Agent Id field. For more information about the NVM Agent Id field, see 230570230. This field is available by default in the NVM_User page layout.

  1. Go to User Page Layouts within Setup in Salesforce.
  2. Click Page Layout Assignment. Page Layout Assignment appears.
  3. Click Edit Assignment. Edit Page Layout Assignment appears.

  4. Click the Page Layout column header.
    All available profiles are selected.

  5. In the Page Layout To Use field, select the NVM_Users page layout.

    Info

    If you select a different page layout, the layout must contain the NVM Agent Id field. You use this field to set up agents to use NewVoiceMedia. For information on adding this field and where this field is used, see 230570230 and 230570230.

    Click Save. All user profiles now see the NVM_Users page layout when they create or edit user records.

Adding agents call center users

To use NewVoiceMedia in Salesforce an agent must be able to see and use ContactPad when they log in to Salesforce. You must add two settings to the agent's Salesforce user record:

  • The agent's ID. This links the NewVoiceMedia agent with their Salesforce user record. For information about linking the NewVoiceMedia agent to their Salesforce user record, see 230570230.

  • The call center that the agent will use. This makes ContactPad appear in Salesforce and connects Salesforce to the required call center.
