CloudTalk Phone CTI
Once you’ve added the CloudTalk app for MS Teams, you can access the following features directly from your Teams sidebar:
Call history & details: review past calls and their metadata
Contact management: view and edit contact information in-app
Outbound calls: launch calls from Teams (requires the CloudTalk Desktop app running in the background)
Dial pad: select outbound numbers or place anonymous calls
Messaging: send and receive SMS messages through the Messages section of the CTI
Two-way status sync: keep agent status aligned in Teams and CloudTalk Phone
Azure SSO login: sign in securely with Microsoft credentials
Status synchronization
CloudTalk’s CTI integration keeps your agent’s presence consistent across MS Teams and CloudTalk Phone. Status updates are synchronized both ways:
Status mapping
MS Teams Status | CloudTalk Status |
Available | Online |
Be Right Back | Idle |
Away | Idle |
Appear Offline | Offline |
Sync rules
From CloudTalk → Teams: When logged into the CloudTalk Desktop app, changing your status (Online / Idle / Offline) updates your MS Teams status.
From Teams → CloudTalk: When logged into Teams, changing your status (Available / Be Right Back / Away / Appear Offline) updates your CloudTalk Phone status.
