The help page does not collapse the telephony models into one setup path.

The learning map on Connect Voice from a Partner Contact Center lists separate setup paths: Partner Contact Center with Amazon Connect, Partner Contact Center Voice, and Partner Contact Center with Amazon Connect as bring your own. It also lists supervisor listen-in and barge-in, linking calls with customer contact records, and the Telephony Integration REST API and Voice Toolkit API under Develop.

This room does not add editions, government-cloud limits, or prices. Those were not on the help page that opened. The developer-guide URL did not open from this build, so it is marked confirm and it is not quoted.

The Salesforce learning map lists Amazon Connect, bring your own, and partner telephony as separate setup paths.

Worked example

I can point at which Salesforce telephony path the learning map names.

  1. Amazon Connect A setup path on the map
  2. Bring your own A separate path
  3. Partner telephony Still named
  4. Record link Link calls with contact records

If it fails: Bring-your-own Amazon Connect is configured with the setup steps for the path that provisions Amazon Connect for you.

Ecosystem

Glossary

  • Computer telephony integration Wikipedia’s opened page says computer-telephony integration, also computer–telephone integration or CTI, is a general term for technologies that coordinate interactions between telephones and computers. Config: Use the vendor page for the product you are configuring. Keep Wikipedia as the name only. Fault: A design calls every CRM screen a CTI product.
  • Dynamics 365 voice channel The voice-channel page says it applies to Dynamics 365 Contact Center embedded, Contact Center standalone, and Customer Service. It provides native PSTN calling in Dynamics and says the channel is built on Azure Communication Services. Config: Read the capabilities table on that page. Do not copy the marketing section above it. Fault: Someone expects the Teams client because the number was bought in Teams.
  • Teams Phone in the voice channel The configure-Teams-Phone page says PSTN connectivity can be a Teams Calling Plan (service numbers only), Operator Connect, or Direct Routing, and that a Teams resource account is required for every number used with Dynamics 365 Contact Center. Config: Sync from Teams in Copilot Service admin center after the resource account and the number exist. Copy the application ID from the current page. Fault: Sync is run before TeamsResourceAccount.Read.All has admin consent.
  • Salesforce Voice The help page Connect Voice from a Partner Contact Center says Salesforce Voice with Telephony Providers, formerly Service Cloud Voice, is now part of Partner Contact Center. Config: Use the learning map on that page. A developer-guide URL did not open from this build, so it is not quoted here. Fault: A runbook still says only Service Cloud Voice and never opens the current title.

Cross-platform bridges

CUCM

Cisco CUBE is one of the SBC families named in this lab’s certification lesson. A certified release can be the Direct Routing SBC between Unified CM and Teams.

The tenant still needs a verified domain on the SBC FQDN, and the user still needs Teams Phone. The studio translator does not open a live AXL session. Confirm the current certified release before you build.

Webex

Teams Phone and Webex Calling are separate clouds. This lab does not describe a feature that registers a Webex Calling user into a Teams tenant.

A number move is usually a carrier port, a certified SBC, or a meetings interop product. Confirm before relying.

UCCE

Unified CCE stays the ACD until you migrate it. Microsoft’s contact-center articles name Connect, Extend, and Unify. They do not name a UCCE connector in the notes this lab cites.

Voice into Teams is still Direct Routing or Operator Connect. The routing script stays on the contact-center product you bought. Confirm the vendor’s current model. Source: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/teams-contact-center.

Future hooks

Copilot Studio, Azure Communication Services, and Graph are later tracks in this lab. Treat any uncited limit as confirm before relying.
