If MiiTel customers also use Salesforce, they can integrate MiiTel and Salesforce objects. Salesforce objects that can be integrated are Accounts, Contacts, and Leads (Person Accounts can also be integrated).
With Salesforce integration, Salesforce's account name and contacts will automatically be saved to MiiTel's Contacts if the information matches with the phone numbers of MiiTel's outbound or incoming calls. The contact information will automatically be saved to Call History and Call History List.
- Objects other than Accounts, Contacts, and Leads can not be integrated.
- The record that matches the phone number saved in Salesforce's phone fields will be created on MiiTel. (MiiTel will not retrieve information from custom fields or objects other than Contacts, Accounts, and Leads.)
- When the phone number is found in multiple objects, the information will be retrieved by order of Contacts, Accounts, then Leads.
- If more than one record exists for the same object, MiiTel will retrieve the most updated record.
- This integration uses REST API.
- Salesforce API version used for MiiTel is 51.0. If you wish to check the API version, please go to Find Salesforce Edition and API version.
