Release Notes

Important Notes​

Google Chrome third-party cookies support​

The CTI Adapter v5.21 now provides support for third party cookies (see Amazon Connect third party cookie documentation). After you upgrade to the latest version of the CTI Adapter (v5.21+), agents will be prompted to allow third-party cookies from Amazon Connect:

  1. When agents open the CCP within the CTI Adapter, a new Allow access to cookies banner appears. It has one action button: Grant access.
  2. When agents choose Grant access, the browser displays a prompt to authorize the use of third-party cookies.
  3. Agents must select Allow on this second pop-up, and then proceed to log in.

Note: If the agent does not follow steps above, please see our documentation on how to resolve.

Summer '23 Release​

The Salesforce summer release '23 blocks Username-Password Flow by default (see more details here). If your org uses this version of Salesforce, please unblock the flow by following these instructions.

Salesforce Enhanced Domains​

Salesforce is making changes to the instance domains on account of the enhanced domains feature in the Spring 23 release. Once this feature is enabled, you must migrate the CTI adapter to using these new domains. See here for migration instructions.

Spring '22 Release​

The Salesforce Spring '22 release introduces a change that will likely cause an install or update to any version of the adapter before 5.18 to fail. In addition if you are using the ac_PhoneCallListView component in any version of the adapter, the loading of your component may fail. This component has been depricated in v5.18.

WebRTC Plan-B Deprecation​

The Plan-B deprecation should not affect any current users of the CTI Adapter, as we utilize the embedded CCP and do not build in connect-rtc-js seperately.

Installing as Admin​

Please confirm that the application was installed for admins only (see installation for more details). If you did this by accident, then you will have to manually edit the profiles to remove the permissions to the objects and pages created by the app. If you are updating the package, please verify that all users have the proper AC permission set.

Important: when upgrading the CTI Adapter, please make sure that the Salesforce Lambdas are also updated to the newest version.

5.22 February 2024​

  • Known Issue in v5.22 - Playback of Connect call recordings on Lightning Task or Case: If you are utilizing the CTI Adapter's functionality for enabling call recording streaming and playback on the Classic Task or Case page, we recommend not upgrade to CTI Adapter version 5.22 as we have discovered an issue where the playback of the call recording does not work as expected. An upcoming release v5.23 is planned to fix this issue, and hence we advise customers to pause upgrading to v5.22.

In this release, we have added a feature called CTI Action which are programmable buttons for your CTI Flows. Each CTI Action is a button that can be programmed to trigger a CTI Flows whose source value is "CTI Action." In addition, CTI Actions can be programmed to ask the agent for additional information via a data entry form. You can use the agent's entry in your CTI Flow with the help of "Get Payload" block. This is a great way to ask your agents to enter ad-hoc data prior to running the CTI Flow to provide additional information as part of a workflow to automate case creation, or start a customer refund process. If you are upgrading from a previous version of the CTI Adapter, please be sure to review the additional setup steps required for CTI Actions.

The CTI Adapter now includes integration with Connect's recording API. This feature allows the agent to control when to start and stop recording a call. Once the recording has started, they can also pause and resume it. For example, agents can pause a recording before asking for sensitive information from your customers. Once the agent stops a recording, you cannot start it again. Use pause/resume buttons after you've started recording a call to control the recording.

The beta Voicemail Drops feature now integrates with CTI Actions. In the beta, voicemail drops were loaded directly into the CCP Overlay.

The payload object contains the arguments passed to the CTI Flow. Now you will be able to use "Get Payload" block to reference a payload key as an input in other blocks on your CTI Flow.

This block allows you to send data to your agent from a CTI flow. The agent will see this information in the CCP Overlay in a panel entitled "Data."

  • Enhancement: "Get Salesforce Contact Id" block now uses FIND syntax to search across multiple fields.
