Dialpad Meetings for Salesforce allows teams to schedule meetings with contacts or leads directly from Salesforce. The meetings can be scheduled from any screen within Salesforce and will be saved under the activity history for that contact or lead. To use Dialpad Meetings, the package needs to be installed from Salesforce, and the Dialpad Meetings tab needs to be added to either Salesforce Lightning or Classic. Additionally, the new layout and scheduled events need to be enabled for either Salesforce Lightning or Classic. To enable the Chatter Feed, feed tracking needs to be enabled for events in Salesforce. To uninstall Dialpad Meetings, the Leads and Contacts buttons need to be removed from the page layout by editing the respective list views and removing the buttons.
