Salesforce
dialer

Make and take calls from Salesforce, log every call on the record, and connect telephony such as Exotel and Ameyo.

A Salesforce dialer lets users place and receive calls inside Salesforce and logs each call on the record. Salesforce Help says Open CTI, the API that connects third-party phone systems, is scheduled for retirement on 28 February 2028, and recommends Salesforce Voice. Techila's Salesforce Dialer handles inbound and outbound calls and connects providers such as Exotel and Ameyo.

The practice

Calls, logged where the customer record is

Salesforce Dialer is a Techila app for inbound and outbound calling inside Salesforce. It tracks call activity, keeps the call history on the customer record and automates follow-ups. Techila has built connectors for Exotel, with click-to-dial, call logging against the lead or case, number masking, call recording and campaign dialling, and for Ameyo, bringing its dialler, IVR and call analytics into the Service Console.

What calling options does Salesforce have, and what's changing?

Salesforce offers its own telephony, and many teams connect a third-party phone system through Open CTI, a JavaScript API. Salesforce Help says Open CTI is scheduled for retirement on 28 February 2028 and recommends migrating to Salesforce Voice, which it says offers many Open CTI features plus native links to Omni-Channel and Command Center for Service. Salesforce also sells Sales Dialer; check Salesforce Help for its current status before you buy it.

Whichever dialer you choose, ask the vendor how it connects to Salesforce and whether it depends on Open CTI, so the 2028 retirement doesn't catch you out.

How does a call work with the dialer?

Agents call from the record, and the record keeps the history.
