Do we need to integrate any 3rd party to implement Open CTI in Salesforce?
Posted by Himanshu on April 30, 2016 at 5:16 PMDo we need to integrate any 3rd party to implement Open CTI in Salesforce? I know about one i.e. Twillio. So, to implement open CTI do we need to integrate Twillio services.

Hi Himanshu,
Actually there are two ways of integration of salesforce with CTI systems:
- CTI integration using open CTI tool.
- CTI integration using telephony service provider api.
We can integrate CTI with salesforce without using third party.
Thanks

Salesforce CRM Call Center seamlessly integrates Salesforce with third-party computer-telephony integration (CTI) systems. Before the introduction of Open CTI, Salesforce users could only use the features of a CTI system after they installed a CTI adapter program on their machines. Yet such programs often included desktop software that required maintenance and didn’t offer the benefits of cloud architecture. Open CTI lets developers:
- Build CTI systems that integrate with Salesforce without the use of CTI adapters.
- Create customizable SoftPhones (call-control tools) that function as fully integrated parts of Salesforce and the Salesforce console.
- Provide users with CTI systems that are browser and platform agnostic, for example, CTI for Microsoft® Internet Explorer®, Mozilla® Firefox®, Apple® Safari®, or Google Chrome™ on Mac, Linux, or Windows machines.
Developers use Open CTI in JavaScript to embed API calls and processes; Open CTI is only available for use with JavaScript pages. To use Open CTI, developers should have a basic familiarity with:
- CTI
- JavaScript
- Visualforce
- Web services
- Software development
- The Salesforce console
- Salesforce CRM Call Center
