Install Salesforce Agent

Installing Salesforce Agent (SFA) requires several steps. After you complete the required steps, many optional configuration tasks are available. When you configure Salesforce Agent, do not change the call center profile unless you have NICE WFO enabled.

Before You Begin

• Confirm that you do not have a namespace defined in your Salesforce org. You typically define a namespace when you use a developer org to create a managed package for distribution. The Salesforce Agent has its own namespace and will not run in an org that has already defined one. If you have one already defined, refer to Salesforce help.
• Ensure you are installing and using Salesforce Agent on a supported platform and in a supported browser.
• If you already have a contact center definition named NICE CXone Contact Center, rename it before you install the application, because the installation will fail as it tries to create a new contact center definition.
• In order to enable the routing of digital contacts, you'll need to enable the API Access permission for agents.
