As TalkDesk stores calls behind an OAuth wall for security, the integration requires that:

- TalkDesk call recordings be pushed to Salesforce as tasks by following the steps in [Logging Calls with the Salesforce CTI](https://support.talkdesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/216070123--Logging-Calls-with-the-Salesforce-CTI-).
- You sign in with a TalkDesk admin via Gong

## Talkdesk-Salesforce set up

> [!NOTE]
> Note:
> 
> You must be a Salesforce admin to perform these steps.

Add the **Call Duration** field to tasks:

1. In Salesforce, go to your **Setup** page.
2. Under **Build**, search for and click **Task Page Layouts**.

After you start recording calls in Talkdesk, your Salesforce tasks should look similar to this:
