Make Calls on Your Phone Using the Web Platform
Important:
- This feature is only supported on Android mobile phones.
- Before you get started –
- Install the Call and SMS Tracker App.
- Generate the authorization token. To receive this token, contact your account manager or write to support@leadsquared.com.
1. Feature Overview
Phone calls you initiate through the LeadSquared desktop application can be placed through the LeadSquared mobile app on your smartphone.
Call logs are automatically posted as activities on the respective leads in your account.
Note: To initiate calls directly through the mobile app, see How to make Outbound Calls and Send SMS through the Mobile App.
2. Prerequisites
- You must be the Administrator of your LeadSquared account.
- Install the Custom Lead and List Actions connector.
- You must install the Call and SMS tracker connector.
- Install and configure the Nudges Connector.
- The Lead’s details should include their telephone number.
- You must be logged into your LeadSquared Mobile Application while the call is being placed.
- Autostart Permission must be enabled in the LeadSquared Mobile Application of your phone.
- Enable Permissions on the device setting to Make a Call, Read Contact and Read Call History.
3. How it Works
- Install the Call and SMS tracker connector.
- You’ll use the Nudge Connector to create a nudge (notification) on the LeadSquared mobile app. When a user taps the nudge, the phone call will be placed to the respective lead. Note down the Nudge template ID.
- You’ll create a new ‘initiate/place phone call’ action on the Manage Leads (and Smart Views) and Lead Details pages, using the Custom Lead and List Action connector. When a user clicks this action from the desktop, the phone call nudge (configured in the previous step) is sent to the user’s LeadSquared mobile app.
