SDK (software development kit)

An SDK (software development kit) is a set of libraries, code samples, and documentation that helps developers add a third-party feature to their app faster. For a contact center, that might be a button to call an agent right from your mobile app.

Why it mattersIt lets you build contact center calling into your own app.

Also called: Software development kit, Developer kit

Differences

How it differs from an API

An API defines how two programs exchange data. An SDK is prebuilt code built on top of those rules, so developers just plug it in instead of writing everything themselves.

Why it matters

Why a contact center needs it

  • A call-an-agent button in your mobile app
  • Calls over the internet with no per-minute charges
  • In-app calls go to your regular agents

In CONTACT.WORK

How it works in CONTACT.WORK

CONTACT.WORK click-to-call has an SDK for iOS and Android: in-app calls reach the same agents as calls from your website.
