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.

  1. Go to the Administration Setup Page in Salesforce.
  2. On the left-hand side of the Salesforce window, in the App Setup or Build section, expand Customize and then Contacts.
  3. In the expanded list of items, click Page Layouts. Contact Page Layout appears.
  4. your Contact object's Page Layouts within Setup in Salesforce.
  5. Locate the page layout that you want to add the callback action to and click Edit alongside. The page layout appears in edit mode.
  6. In the top section, click Actions. The available actions appear.
