ItemRequirement/recommendation

Minimum version

  • Professional edition (Express and Essentials licenses only)—requires Web Services API
  • Enterprise edition
  • Unlimited edition
  • Performance edition

Salesforce licenseaccounts and licenses

The NewVoiceMedia managed package requires a Salesforce.com account to establish the API connection between Salesforce and NewVoiceMedia platform accounts.

Info
You can dedicate this account to NewVoiceMedia or you can share it with other applications. A dedicated account is preferable, as it allows for greater fault finding and auditing without impacting other applications.

All of your Salesforce users must have a Salesforce license—other than a Communities license—to use NewVoiceMedia in Salesforce.

Note

Users with Communities licenses cannot use NewVoiceMedia in Salesforce.


Session SettingsSessions must not be locked to the IP address from which they originated. For information about this and other session settings, see Salesforce help.
Web browserFor information about required browsers, see Salesforce help.

Number format

Telephone numbers within Salesforce should be in E.164 format (maximum is 15 digits). For information about the E.164 format, see E.164 format. The format of the number is required for dynamic call routing, screen popping and Click to dial.

API calls

Your organization must be enabled for API access. You must also operate within the API request limits set by Salesforce for your account.

As a guide, each read and each write to and from Salesforce makes one API call. For example, 100 calls make 200 API calls.

For information about user permissions required to run API calls, see ContactWorld API user permissions.

Data requirements

You must have enough Salesforce data storage available for your use. For information about data storage limits in Salesforce, see Salesforce help.

As a guide, each call made or received in NewVoiceMedia generates a Salesforce task record. Task records are 2 kilobytes (KB).

Salesforce CTI

We provide a Call Center definition file for you to import. The imported Call Center uses Open CTI. You do not need to install a CTI adapter.

Advanced Reporting

Item
Requirement/recommendation
Scheduled jobs

Advanced statistics requires four scheduled jobs.

Salesforce limit is 100 jobs per organization.

Storage requirements

You must have enough Salesforce data storage available for your use. For information about data storage limits in Salesforce, see Salesforce help.

By default, Salesforce stores 8 days' worth of statistics. The retention period is configurable.

Each active agent generates one statistics record per day.
Each call generates one statistics record.
Each statistics record uses 2 KB.
Advanced statistics generates up to 4 MB of rolling transaction logs. 

Use the following calculation to estimate your storage requirements:

(2 KB x (average number of calls per day + average number of active agents per day) x retention period (days)) + 4 MB

For example, if your call center receives an average of 1000 calls per day, with an average of 100 active agents per day, and you use the default retention period, use the following calculation to estimate your storage requirements:

(2 KB x (1000 + 100) x 8) + 4 MB = 21.6 MB

Server-side ports—outbound traffic (packets leaving the customer's network)

Firewall configuration

Your firewalls should allow UDP to and from the public internet for the browsers that will be using ContactPad with WebRTC.

NewVoiceMedia's WebRTC servers use fixed IP addresses from a public range. The WebRTC client uses Global Low Latency (GLL) architecture. GLL reduces the latency of calls by selecting the closest IP address for WebRTC, but includes failover to another IP address if the closest one is not available. We recommend that you configure your firewall to allow all of the following IP addresses to prevent loss of service in case of failover:

For Global Low Latency and ResiliencyAdd all of the above IP addresses as recommended

NewVoiceMedia WebRTC servers use dynamic port numbers. We therefore strongly recommend that your firewall does not limit access to a specific range of port numbers for those IP addresses.

Supported browsers

Google Chrome™, latest version, using the WebRTC for NewVoiceMedia extension.

Note

We develop and test the WebRTC feature in the latest version of Google Chrome™ only.


Salesforce integrationWebRTC is only supported in Salesforce Lightning Experience and in the console view in Salesforce Classic. For information about Salesforce console, see Salesforce help.
Backup phoneAll agents should have access to an alternative phone as a backup for WebRTC.
Alternative phoneWe recommend that agents have access to an alternative phone for non-NewVoiceMedia related calls.
