Call Centers Option Does Not Appear in Salesforce Setup

Symptom

You cannot locate your 8x8 Salesforce integration call center, or you can confirm that it does not exist in your instance of Salesforce.

Call centers in Salesforce are found by navigating to one of the following, depending on the edition you are using.

• Setup > Apps > Customize > Call Center > Call Centers (Professional edition and higher)
• Setup > Build > Customize > Call Center > Call Centers (Developer edition)

Applies To

This article applies to Salesforce in general, regardless of the 8x8 integration you are trying to manage.

Cause

One of the following is likely to be the cause of the issue:

1. The 8x8 Salesforce integration has not been installed.
2. The call center has been deleted.
3. You are using an edition of Salesforce that does not include Call Center functionality, such as the Group Edition. 8x8's Salesforce integrations for Virtual Office and Virtual Contact Center require Professional or higher Salesforce editions.
4. The Salesforce administrator's user profile has been assigned restricted access permissions that prevent the Setup > Call Centers option from appearing for that user.

Resolution

Below are solutions to the above problem causes:

1. The Virtual Office for Salesforce integration can be installed by following the instructions located here:
   • Virtual Office for Salesforce Integration: v 2.x Full Installation
2. If the integration is installed and you can see the Setup > Call Centers option, but the 8x8 Virtual Office call center has been deleted, download and import a new call center XML file by following instructions located here:
   • Re-Import the Latest Call Center
3. If you are not currently using a Professional, Enterprise, Unlimited, or Performance edition of Salesforce, please contact your Salesforce representative to upgrade.
4. Salesforce User profiles can be created, edited, and assigned to users with the goal of providing them administrative access to some or all functions in a Salesforce organization. That access can also be limited, including removal of the option to manage call centers.
   • To fix this issue: Edit the affected admin's user profile in Setup > Manage Users > Profiles and make sure that the Administrative Permissions > Manage Call Centers permission option is checked. Once this option is changed and saved, the affected admin must log out of Salesforce and back in for that change to take effect.
