Introduction

There are two possibilities:

your users have both user profiles into iAdvize and into Salesforce: you can manually link their profiles together : option 1
your salesforce users do not have iAdvize user profiles: you can automatically create an iAdvize Agent based on your Salesforce users : option 2 (synchronisation)

Limitations

A salesforce user can only be linked to one iAdvize operator
Although the iAdvize window could be opened / displayed in your Salesforce tool, the connector was not designed for this purpose, but only to integrate the iAdvize conversation desk.

Prerequisites

The User Page layout must be customized to display the iAdvize fields that allows the synchronisation between iAdvize and Salesforce users.
