Setting up contact center integration In Zoom App
Note: Zoom needs to enable this feature in order for it to work. The availability of the feature can be enabled after 3 business days from the moment you contact support, if you want to enable it sooner. To enable the SIP trunk to work properly, you will need to contact the third-party contact center solution and Zoom.
Moreover, Zoom Phone is capable of being integrated with contact center solutions, so that even when using a contact center to handle all calls, users are able to take advantage of the phone features that Zoom Phone provides. The benefits of integrating with a contact center include:
- With Zoom Phone, Contact Centers can connect with the phone system through a private SIP trunk that is multi-tenant. Zoom Phone to Zoom Contact Center calls are always on-net therefore no PSTN charges apply.
- A simple provisioning method makes onboarding easy for admins. SIP trunk provisioning does not have to be complicated for administrators.
- In addition to Genesys and Five9, Zoom Phone has partnered with Talkdesk, Nice inContact, and Talkdesk Talk.
