You can create new Contact records in your Salesforce environment from an inbound call, SMS, chat, or any other communication channel configured on your Twilio Flex Project.

Once you accept the incoming call, SMS, or other channel engagement, a popup will appear that allows you to create a new Contact record.

You can change 'Contact' to any other object in your Salesforce environment by changing the Call Center Softphone Layout > Screen Pop Setting. See the Softphone layout customization guide for an example.


Manage an incoming call from an existing contact

Salesforce users can be automatically redirected to existing Contact records from inbound calls, SMS messages, chats, or any other communication channel configured on your Twilio Flex Project.

Once you accept the incoming call, SMS, or other channel engagement, a screen pop will trigger to the relevant Contact record.

If multiple search results are found for a given Task attribute used in the Salesforce search string, the screen pop will show all resulting records of the search.

Your Flex-Salesforce integration can seamlessly handle multi-tasking when an agent has multiple records.

From your Salesforce account, initiate multiple inbound or outbound calls, SMS messages, chats, or any other communications channel configured on your Twilio Flex Project.

The Salesforce screen will change to the relevant object record as you select different tasks on the Flex screen. For instance, if you are chatting with Joey, you will see their information until you switch over to your call with Alex, at which point you'll see Alex's information on the screen instead.

In Salesforce classic, this looks like:

In Salesforce Lightning Experience, the context switching looks like this:

You can click on any phone numbers in a phone number field in your Salesforce environment to initiate an outbound call.


As various events flow through Flex, activities are automatically logged in Salesforce.

Your Flex view can be maximized by popping it out of the Softphone panel. This allows you to use the Flex-Salesforce integration outside of your Salesforce browser tab or even on a second monitor.
