Manage and collaborate on the call:

  • Manage active call: Adjust your audio settings (output and input) to ensure clear communication, end (pause/resume) the call, or rate the ongoing call directly in your Call Panel .
  • Collaborate on the ongoing call: Initiate conference calls, transfer calls to the appropriate department, or use the 3-way conversation and Voicemail features.
  • Leave internal comments: Add notes visible only to your manager or authorized colleagues, and review the lead's history and past agent interactions.

Provide feedback, rate call, and schedule follow-ups:

  • After the call ends, the Dialer redirects you to the Feedback page. Here, you can submit feedback, schedule a follow-up call with the lead, or rate the call.
