To make and receive calls using Vonage Contact Center in Salesforce, you link Vonage Contact Center to a Salesforce user account. The Salesforce user account must be an API user account. Vonage Contact Center uses the linked account to log in to Salesforce and perform automated actions. These automated actions include looking for a Salesforce record and creating a task at the end of a call.
