The technical requirements list Plus adapters for Agent Desktop Toolkit, Epic, Microsoft Dynamics 365, NetSuite, Oracle, Salesforce, ServiceNow, and Zendesk. They use HTTPS and Secure WebSocket. The desktop page says a pre-built adapter and Plus share the same underlying technology, and that a CRM SDK exists when you bring your own CRM.

The product API page also names Web Connectors. A connector that pops a URL is not the same object as a full Plus adapter. Say which one you deployed.

Ecosystem

Glossary. WEM: Workforce, quality, analytics, surveys, and recording. Native suite and a Verint partnership are both on the product page. Workforce engagement management

Sister technologies. RedSky. Emergency-location partner on the E911 data sheet. Not the ITSP. E911 data sheet

Config. For three systems, write adapter, SDK, or connector.

Troubleshooting. Leadership thinks they bought the Salesforce adapter. Agents click a bookmark. Install the adapter or document the connector.

Cross-platform bridge. A mapping to another PBX or contact center is a teaching bridge. It is not an import button.

Future hook. The guide's cloud endpoint stays unset. Confirm before relying on a dated catalog or a case-study number.
