# How do I add the CTI to a lightning app (in the utility bar)

The Natterbox CTI automatically comes added to the Natterbox AVS Lightning App. If you would like this added to any Standard or Custom Apps, you will need to add this to the App’s Utility bar.

**REQUIRED Editions, Packages & Licenses**

- Available in: Salesforce Lightning Experience
- Natterbox Call Centre 1.57 and Natterbox Admin (AVS) 1.49 or higher
- Difficulty: 1/5

1. Go to Salesforce Setup and quick search **App Manager**.
