Outgoing Calls

Once answered and "Connected", the Call Toolbar will offer call handling buttons, dependent on the device used to make the outgoing call.

The display window shows the same information for both inbound and outbound calls. The information and icons displayed will depend on whether the telephone number is already found within any address books or integrated CRM applications and which device is used to make the outgoing call.

Note: The outgoing call process will vary with the preferred device type selected – a "dialback" may need to be answered first by the selected device before the outgoing call is made.

Click the "Callback email" button to send an email via the default email client that automatically contains the current caller information, including details retrieved from any matching CRM contact integration.

Compose an email to the selected address with the default email client:

If the user has access, the option to Edit/Save or Delete is also presented.

Add Contact

When the call Preview window displays a call that is not yet found in any integrated address book (or is found in some but not all integrated address books) the Add Contact icon is displayed. This offers a quick method to insert the contact details into multiple locations.

Select which integrated address book "Type" to add the contact into and either "Save" or "Save and Edit" to also open the contact within the selected address book. The stored details are then used to add to the next selected address book "Type" to quickly duplicate the contact record into multiple locations.
