• If a user has an account open for one contact and places a Dialpad call to a different contact, the outgoing call is incorrectly logged under the first contact. We have added a new attribute that corrects this behavior in this scenario and logs the outgoing call correctly.

  To avoid making a breaking change for customers who may have already built using this behavior, we are not changing the behavior by default. If you would like to apply this fix, please contact our support team.

• When an agent placed a call from an embedded Flex iframe or by clicking a phone number in Salesforce (Click-To-Dial), the outgoing call was not logged as an activity in Salesforce. We've fixed this, so outgoing calls are now logged correctly in Salesforce.
• If you set a default caller ID for outbound calls, that setting wasn't applied to calls placed from within Salesforce. We've fixed this, so your default caller ID setting will be applied.

• Activities are now recorded in Salesforce for incoming and outgoing calls to phone numbers associated with Account record types in Salesforce. Previously, these activities were only tracked for phone numbers associated with Contact and Lead record types.

• Fixed an issue with Salesforce custom settings causing errors with AppExchange features.

• Upgraded integration to align with Salesforce AppExchange listing requirements.

• Made compatible with Flex Conversations and Flex UI 2.0

• Fixed an issue with the Softphone Panel Visibility causing Flex widget to disappear when new tasks get created

• New sfdcIncludePhoneInPopToNewRecord Screenpop Method: You can provide a new sfdcIncludePhoneInPopToNewRecord and set it to false. This will stop sending Phone information when creating a new Salesforce record.

• Bump Salesforce CTI to version 52.0

• Click-to-dial feature now allows to start the call in an unavailable activity status

• Internal improvements to Click-to-dial feature

• Click-to-dial feature now uses Flex Native Outbound Calling. Check our migration guide to see how you can upgrade your Flex-Salesforce integration

• This release includes some minor internal changes to the Click-to-Dial functionality to avoid any overlap and clashing of this functionality with any other outbound tasks plug-ins, like the Experimental Dialpad features. Additional checks are enforced in the click to dial implementation to avoid this overlap. No functional or experience changes to the users.

• Agents using Flex Salesforce Integration will now remain on their original Salesforce screen when rejecting a task. Earlier a bug caused the Salesforce screen to be changed (screen-pop) to show details of the call, even when agents rejected the task. This was due to the "Reject Task" event also throwing "Select Task" event and hence resulting in screen pop. Going ahead, Reject Task and Hangup Call no longer triggers unexpected Screenpop on the Salesforce screen to let agents stay on the Salesforce screen they are.

• Configurable Interaction logging: You can now choose to configure your automated interaction logging - select which interactions ( task start, task complete, task switch) to log or to completely turn them all off. You can configure the interaction logging by navigating to the Configuration Screen.
• Phone Number and Taskrouter SIDs validation: Configuration screens for Flex Salesforce Integration in the Flex Admin panel now have validations for Phone Number, Workflow SID and Task Channel SID. It means you don't have to worry about mistakenly configure this with improper values - we will warn you right away.
• Two new Screenpop Methods: Now you have two additional ways - you can pass either specific SFDC URLs( sfdcUrl ) or SFDC Object( sfdcObjectId) Ids as custom task attributes to dictate the ScreenPop behaviour in your Engagement flows.
  • The priority order between the 4 parameters used for search and screen pop is sfdcUrl > sfdcObjectId > sfdcSearchString > task.name

• Fixed extra whitespace in the CTI window introduced by Summer 19 SalesforceRelease. Starting Summer 17 release, a Salesforce bug caused the bottom portion of the CTI window to be hidden behind the Utility bar. We introduced a workaround to this Salesforce bug in the Flex Salesforce Integration, which has now been removed.

• Flex Salesforce Integration does not perform a replaceAction on AcceptTask anymore. This means that there will never be any conflicts of Flex Salesforce Integration with any other plugins in your environment.

• Incoming calls not displaying call acceptance controls in some situations

• Prevent outbound call when an agent is in an unavailable state in Flex, but clicks on a phone number on Salesforce.
