Install CXone Agent Embedded in Salesforce

This page explains how to install CXone Agent Embedded in Salesforce. Once it's installed, agents can use it to handle interactions directly inside Salesforce. When it's installed in Salesforce, CXone Agent Embedded is called CXone Agent for Salesforce (CXA-SF).

CXone Agent for Salesforce is only available in Salesforce Lightning. It is compatible with the following Salesforce solutions:

• Salesforce Sales Cloud

• Salesforce Service Cloud

• Salesforce Marketing Cloud

Before You Begin

• Confirm that you do not have a namespace defined in your Salesforce org. You typically define a namespace when you use a developer org to create a managed package for distribution. CXone Agent for Salesforce has its own namespace and will not run in an org that has one already defined. If you have one already defined, refer to the Salesforce help.
• Ensure you are installing and using CXone Agent for Salesforce on a supported platform and in a supported browser.
• If you already have a contact center definition named NICE CXone Contact Center, rename it before you install the application, because the installation will fail as it tries to create a new contact center definition.

Enable Click2Jack

You can set up clickjack protection with Click2Jack. Clickjacking occurs when an attacker adds an element, like a button, to your site to get users to click on it. Once the user has clicked on the malicious button, they are routed to the attacker's site. Enabling Click2Jack helps protect you from clickjack attacks. It also prevents issues from Google's third-party cookie deprecation. For more details about Google's cookie deprecation see the previous note.

To set up these protections and prevent further issues, you need to enable Click2Jack in your Salesforce application . You also need to add the following URLs as trusted domains:

• https://mydomain.lightning.force.com

• https://mydomain.my.salesforce.com
