Microsoft Dynamics

Introduction

CX supports an integration with Microsoft Dynamics to enable data and actions to be passed between the softphone and Dynamics.

This integration increases efficiency in agent operation by automating lookups/screen-pops in Microsoft Dynamics, as well as allowing the user to click on any phone number field in Dynamics and have this be passed to CX to make the outbound call.

The Dynamics adapter is highly customisable, so your implementation of CX may extend this base functionality.

SSO Instances Only

Note: Only Single Sign-on (SSO) instances of CX are supported with this Microsoft Dynamics integration.

Login Procedure

To login to CX, visit the Application within Dynamics that has been configured with CX softphone, such as the 'Customer Service Hub'.

This will automatically load CX on the right hand side as shown below. If a valid login session is not found, a login page of your Identity Provider (E.g. Azure AD) will be loaded. Log in with your credentials and the CX login process will finish, resulting in a screen as below.

The CX softphone appears as a side bar that can be expanded or condensed (using the right arrow icon).

Screenpop on CLI Match

When an Inbound Voice interactions is pushed to CX, by default Salesforce will search for a matching customer record, based on the inbound customer's phone number (CLI) - if one exists, it will be loaded in a Salesforce tab.

An inbound interaction with a matched CLI Contact record will appear.

Screenpop on Custom Attribute

If configured within your CX instance, custom screens may be loaded, instead of the basic contact record. For instance, a case may be created, linked the calling customer, and displayed in the screenpop.

The following shows a sample inbound screenpop where a case has been loaded on inbound interaction:

Outbound Click to Call

So long as there isn't already an active call, selecting any configured phone number field within Dynamics will trigger CX to outbound dial that phone number.

Shown below in red is a sample phone number field on a contact and the CX dialling window.

Phone Number Format

Note: Customer phone numbers by default must be stored with full international dialling codes for CX to be able to dial them.

Once the call is connected, the standard connected call window will appear as seen below.
