Best for: Contact-center ISVs delivering standalone or embedded apps to Talkdesk customers.

Overview

Talkdesk AppConnect is the marketplace for Talkdesk's cloud contact-center platform, letting partners build and distribute call-center apps that plug into the Talkdesk agent workspace. The integration model is event-driven: partner apps integrate with the Events API, which delivers Talkdesk events as webhook calls, and the app.installed event hands the app its per-customer OAuth client credentials plus a link identifying the localized API Gateway to call for that customer's data. Apps must also work across all Talkdesk regions and handle single sign-on.

Developer accounts are provisioned on request through the Partner Project portal, where partners register apps, generate OAuth clients, and prepare listings. Publishing requires clearing two gates — technical certification and marketplace approval — after which the AppConnect team makes the listing visible. Talkdesk pushes AI heavily: Autopilot is its AI virtual agent for voice and digital self-service, and Talkdesk Copilot provides real-time agent assistance, alongside partner conversational-AI apps. Choose AppConnect when building for enterprise and mid-market voice/omnichannel contact centers on Talkdesk and you can meet the region, SSO, and certification bar.
