.Configuring a Function Button 1 vLV19

You can configure a Contact Center CRM Agent Desktop to enable your agents to call functions or APIs manually through a single button (function button). This configuration allows real-time integration with other applications to enable agents to perform actions on the Home Bar, Account List, Contact List, or Ticket List components. For example, you can create, update, or delete a record in an external application such as Jira or Salesforce, or generate data from an external application and display it in a field within Contact Center CRM. 

The function button is available for the following elements:

• Accounts
• Contacts

• Ticketing

• Agents
• Analytics
• Script
• KB
• Other

To configure a function button:

1. Go to Desktops > Design, and select the header of one of the following sections on the canvas page: 
   • Accounts List
   • Contacts List

   • Ticketing

   • Agents
   • Analytics
   • Script
   • KB

   • Other

     When the header of a section is selected, the section is highlighted with a red dotted line.

2. Go to Properties > Buttons, then click Configure.
   

   For the Ticketing element, in the Buttons section, the button is named Custom Buttons.
