What is automatic number identification (ANI)

Automatic Number Identification (ANI) is a telephony technology that automatically captures and displays the caller’s phone number before a call is answered. Unlike manual identification or basic caller ID, ANI works at the network level and delivers accurate, real-time caller information directly to your system. 

In modern businesses, ANI plays a critical role in improving customer experience, speeding up response times, and enabling smarter call handling. When ANI is integrated with Salesforce through a CTI solution like MCDial, it becomes a powerful tool for sales, support, and service teams. 

ANI ensures that agents know who is calling, why they are calling, and how to respond, even before they say hello. 

Why ANI Matters in Salesforce CTI 

In a Salesforce-driven environment, every call is an opportunity. Without ANI, agents waste time searching records, asking repetitive questions, or manually logging details. With ANI, the caller’s number instantly matches existing Salesforce records. 

This means faster conversations. Better personalization. And higher conversion rates. 

ANI is the foundation of intelligent call routing, call logging, and contextual engagement in Salesforce CTI systems.
