Agent for Service Cloud Voice
This overview is for agents. If you're an administrator, see Agent for Service Cloud Voice for Administrators.
Agent for Service Cloud Voice (SCV) is part of the Omni-Channel widget in Salesforce. It adds a Phone tab to the widget, where you can handle calls. Other types of contacts, such as chats or emails, are handled in Salesforce.
When you handle a call, Salesforce automatically creates a task for it. The task includes basic information like the call time and date, contact data, and so on. You can connect the task to other items in Salesforce like opportunities or cases.
If you do not see the Phone tab in your Omni-Channel widget, contact your manager or administrator.
