If your agents use ContactWorld alongside Salesforce's Omni-Channel feature, both ContactWorld and Salesforce can route work to them at the same time. This situation causes a problem for the agent in knowing how to prioritize their incoming work.
| Info |
|---|
Salesforce Omni-Channel is only available in Salesforce Classic. |
To avoid this problem, if enabled for your account, you can integrate ContactWorld with Salesforce Omni-Channel so each system knows the status of the agent in the other.

Select the check box if you want your agent's status in ContactPad to change to Away. Clear the check box if you want your agent's status in ContactPad to change to Ready.
ContactWorld only uses this mapping if you do not select a value in the Maps to field.
Maps to Defines the ContactWorld state that the Salesforce presence status maps to.
Select the specific ContactWorld agent state that corresponds to the Salesforce presence status. ContactWorld changes the agent's state to the specified state when your agent or Salesforce changes your agent's status to the corresponding Salesforce presence status.
If you do not select a specific state in the Maps to field, ContactWorld uses the Busy field to determine the agent's state.
- In the ContactWorld to Salesforce State Mapping section, alongside each ContactWorld status click the corresponding Salesforce presence status in the Salesforce Presence to map to list. You must map Salesforce presence statuses to all major states (or categories) in ContactWorld. Mapping minor states (or sub-categories) is optional.
When your agent or ContactWorld changes your agent's state in ContactPad, ContactWorld updates the agent's presence status in their Salesforce Omni-Channel widget to the mapped presence status. If you do not map a Salesforce presence status to a ContactWorld minor state (or sub-category), ContactWorld uses the major state's (or category's) mapping to determine what to update the agent's presence status to. - Click Save Configuration.
