The APIs and SDKs page lists a Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) Web Services API next to Configuration, Reporting, Statistics, Web2Campaign, the CRM SDK, and Web Connectors. CTI, on that page, is one of those names.

Wikipedia's ACD article says an advanced distributor may use computer telephony integration as an input to the route. That is the general word. Five9's page is the product name. A screen pop, a click-to-dial button, and a package version were not on the pages this chapter read.

Ecosystem

Glossary. IVR module: A named block in the IVR Administrator's Guide, such as Menu, Play, If/Else, or Skill Transfer. IVR modules

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

Config. Pick three from the list and do not describe their payloads.

Troubleshooting. The API page names the API. It does not print that field list. Delete the fields.

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.
