Note: The combined ability to both undock and re-dock the communication panel is available only in Salesforce Lightning mode.

Also, the floating communication panel does not automatically move to the foreground when a call is made or received. This action must be performed by the user.

Applies To

  • 8x8 Work for Salesforce Integration v3.1 (Maestro)
  • Salesforce Classic and Lightning modes
