Configuring the Salesforce Agent

Salesforce is used for various needs of different teams in an organization, such as marketing, sales, commerce, service, and IT work as one from anywhere using the chat module.

Use the configuration steps below as general guidelines to enable the Salesforce Agent integration. You may notice minor differences based on the version of Salesforce you are using.

Overview

Kore.ai’s Virtual Assistant (VA) serves as the central point of interaction for the users. The VA facilitates communication and interaction between the user and the Salesforce agent using the chat module. In addition to its regular capabilities, the VA acts as an intermediary between the users and the Salesforce agents to hand over conversations seamlessly.

Execution

This section helps you verify how the conversations from the Kore.ai XO Platform are being handed over to the Salesforce agent after enabling it.

To verify the data exchange between Kore.ai’s VA and Salesforce agent, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Salesforce Chat Console and launch the Live Agent that you created in Step 1.
    Note: The Salesforce Chat Console URL is unique for your region and company. Contact your Salesforce System Administrator to find your Chat Console URL.

  7. Once you invoke the agent transfer dialog, the Salesforce Chat Console receives a notification alert.
  8. When a user initiates the chat from the VA, it transfers the conversation to the Salesforce agent and sends a message to the user. Agent receives a notification about this on Salesforce.
  9. Now, the connection between the Salesforce agent and the user has been established, and the conversation continues.
