The Dialer

Summary:

In this article, we're going to see how to use one of the platform's most commonly used features - the dialer.

The dialer button is accessible from all tabs within your platform and is conveniently located in the top-right corner. To get started with the dialer, ensure that a phone number is properly configured in your account. For assistance on how to do this, refer to the resources available in the Phone System section. After you have properly configured your phone number, click the dialer.

This opens a user-friendly interface with standard dialer features.

Keypad

This is where you enter the number you want to dial. You can use your keyboard's numeric keys to enter it manually or click the buttons of the number pad to enter a phone number with your mouse.

Voicemail and Queued

For contacts who are unavailable to answer the call and have a voicemail inbox, users can leave a voicemail message. These messages will be displayed in the Voicemail view! Stay tuned for more details on these features as soon as they are released!
