Playvox and Salesforce have always lived high, high in the sky - in a fluffy, airy landscape called “the cloud”. Our values go hand-in-hand, and our services couldn’t be more complementary. Check out how easily we can work together!
Note: Playvox and Salesforce communicate via REST API resources using the OAuth 2.0 protocol. To read a more in-depth technical description of that communication, please refer to Salesforce Integration - Tech Notes. |
Getting Started
It should be noted that this integration works on-demand, which means that data is brought to Playvox's platform only as required. After the integration is complete, we’ll chat about some filter options that are unique to Salesforce.
Important: You’ll need to be in Admin in both Salesforce and Playvox to complete the integration. |
The Process
Log in to Playvox with your Admin credentials.
Go to Settings > Integrations.
3. Click on the New button in the upper right corner of your screen.
4. Select Salesforce.
5. Name your Connector.
Tip: You may have multiple connections, so it’s important to be able to properly identify them (i.e. Salesforce chat 1, India emails, Technical support chat, etc.). |
6. When you're finished, click Accept.
7. A popup window will appear asking for your Salesforce admin credentials. Fill in
your username and password. Then click Log In.
Salesforce Actions

a Filter Group.

filter available to everyone.
