The Genesys Cloud for Salesforce client can run in Salesforce Classic (both Sales Cloud and Service Cloud) and in Lightning Experience. For information about setup and limitations with Lightning Experience, see Why isn’t the client appearing in Lightning? and Salesforce Lightning Experience.

Sales Cloud

In Sales Cloud, the client is a fixed vertical pane that you cannot move or resize. The client appears on all Salesforce pages in Sales Cloud except for a few types of pages. These types of pages, such as reports and feed-based page layouts, fill the width of the browser and temporarily hide the client.

Service Cloud

In Service Cloud, the client appears as an overlay that you can move in the browser window, detach and move to a new browser window or tab, or close. Because the client is an overlay, the client is visible on every page in Service Cloud. 

To access the client, click Phone  in the lower-left or lower-right corner of certain Salesforce pages.

To detach or reattach the client, click New Window  in the upper-right corner of the client.

To close the client, click Minimize  in the upper-right corner of the client.

Note: If you close the client, the client automatically opens when an interaction alerts.

Lightning Experience

In Lightning Experience, the client appears as an overlay that you can detach and move to a new browser window or tab, or close. Because the client is an overlay, the client is visible on every page in Lightning Experience. 

Note: If your administrator selected postMessage API for Client Event Message Type in the call center settings, you cannot detach the client from the browser window. For more information, see Configure call center settings.

To access the client, click Phone in the lower-left corner of certain Salesforce pages.

To detach or reattach the client, click New Window in the upper-right corner of the client.

To close the client, click Minimize in the upper-right corner of the client.

The following content applies to Genesys Cloud for Zendesk.

To access the client, click the Genesys Cloud icon in the top toolbar in Zendesk. The client appears as an overlay on your Zendesk page.
