Overview
VoIP allows you to make calls directly from HCP web. Our VoIP solution can be used in conjunction with call tracking numbers. For more details, please see Voice.
Check out this tour in the product.
Accessing the Dialer
To access the dialer, open up the phone next to +New.
This will open up the dialer. You should ALWAYS keep that open next to HCP. NOTE: In order to receive calls your dialer must be open.
Receiving an Inbound Call
When you receive an incoming VoIP call, you will receive a desktop notification. Your dialer will also start to ring and show the incoming call.
If it is an existing customer, you will see the customer name, number, and the lead source associated to the call tracking number they called into. If it is an unknown customer, you will see the phone number and lead source only.
From there, you can click on the incoming desktop notification or answer it through the dialer. When you answer, it will open up the customer intake flow in a new tab. As you can see, the customer profile, phone number, and address have all been populated for you. Simultaneously, you will be connected to the customer.
While on the call you can use Mute or Unmute, Start or Stop the recording, and utilize the Keypad. Also, you can end the call through the dialer.
NOTE: Avoid refreshing the dialer while you are on the call. This may result in a loss of connection to your customer.
You can also add another person to the call if you need. This feature applies to outbound calls too.
When you click Add call, you will be able to see a list of your employees and their phone numbers on the employee profile. Note: You will only be able to add external numbers to your live phone call.
Once you click on a row, we will add that person to the call and you will be able to see two names on your call. At the point, there are three of you on the call. You can drop off by ending the call. The other two people will still stay on the line.
You can click on the arrow next to the names to view who is on the call and disconnect one caller if you wish.
If you disconnect one of them, then it goes back to the single call with two people and you have the ability again to add a call.
Pros can conference in additional web dialers so other employees using VoIP can join a call or receive a live transfer,
The caller who receives the transfer will also see that it's been transferred to them:
Using the customer intake flow, you can gather information about the customer, schedule the appointment, and update their customer profile. Once you are done, you will have the option to save it as a job, estimate, or call notes.
If you save it as a job or an estimate, this information will get auto-added to the call log with that information attached.
If you save it as call notes, you will have to manually enter the reason and notes associated to the call for that to get added to the call log.
On the customer intake form, you can save the call as “Spam”. This will let you block callers directly from the customer intake.
From there, you will see the call notes dialog with the ability to mark the checkbox and add the number to your block list:
Making an Outbound Call
To make an outbound call, you have a few options. You can either call from the Call details on the global call log or the customer call log. You can also call directly from the dialer.
Global call log:
Customer call log:
Dialer:
Once you click the call button, the customer intake flow will open in a new tab with the outbound call initiated on your dialer.
NOTE: Avoid refreshing the dialer while you are on the call. This may result in a loss of connection to your customer.
Just like with an inbound call, you will be able to add notes, edit the job, etc. and then that data will appear on the call log.
Using the Dialer
Configure Your Status
When you are in the dialer, you can set your status as:
Unavailable: This means the agent is not available to take calls so they will NOT receive an incoming call, even if they are a part of a call flow. If the agent does not have their dialer open then they will be considered unavailable.
Available: This means you are available to take a call. If your agent is available AND they are part of a call flow through a ring group or directly, then they will receive incoming calls.
On a call: This will occur automatically if you are on a call. We will automatically set you back to your status once the call is complete. While on a call, you will not be able to update the status.
To set your status, you will click on the arrow next to your avatar. If you are available then the option will be to set to unavailable and if you are unavailable, you will be able to set to available.
Your agent status will also get updated on the global navigation. This will help you to know if your dialer is open and if you are available to make calls:
Set Your Outbound Number
On your dialer, you can select what number you call out from by clicking on Outbound calls from:
Call Queue
When you open up the dialer, you will see your call queue now instead of the keypad. If you need access to your keypad, you can select the floating action button to use the keypad.
All active and queued calls will show up here.
An incoming call to the queue will be displayed with the customer name and lead source. You can see how long the call has been in the queue and then you will have the option to decline the call which will end the call for the caller or answer the call which will update the queue to show the active call that you are on.
On an active call, you will see the customer name (if known), phone number, and lead source. You will also see the duration of the call.
The first button lets you place the call on hold:
Once the call is on hold, you will be able to see it in the call queue still and see that it is a paused or placed on hold call.
The next button lets you cold transfer a call to someone else without speaking to them first. This is different from our Add a call feature which is essentially a conference call and is the next button.
The next button lets you add someone to your call. This is the conferencing experience so all three of you will be on a call and then you are able to hang up from there.
The next button is to mute or unmute a call.
The following button lets you turn on and off recording.
The last button lets you end the call. Once you end the call, the call disappears from the queue.
Search for Customer
To search for a customer, you can enter in a number or a name in the customer field on the dialer keypad.
It will populate with customers that match your search.
Once you click on the customer, the name will populate in that field and the number will populate in the keypad field. You then have the option to Call or Backspace the numbers you have entered.
Using the Keypad
You can click into the keypad field to use your keyboard to enter digits or you can use the keypad and mouse directly:
Accessing the Call Log
You will have access to a call log within the dialer. This call log will provide the most real time data. It should match the call log within HCP web but there may be a slight delay with what you see in HCP web. To access the dialer call log, click on Call log next to the Keypad icon:
In the call log, you will see All calls or Missed calls. You will also see badging for any missed calls. In order to clear the badge, you will need to select on that call row.
Clicking on a call will open up the Call details where you can see what type of call it was, the number, name, lead source, and call recording. You can also make an outbound call through the Call details.
Listening to Voicemails
To listen to Voicemails through the dialer, simply select Voicemail in the bottom navigation next to the Keypad icon:
Voicemails work very similarly to the Dialer call log. The only difference is that it is filtered down to only calls that resulted in a voicemail message.
Selecting a call in the list will open up the Call details where you can listen to those voicemails.
Accessing Voicemails
If a customer leaves you a voicemail, you will be notified in a few ways:
Desktop Notification:
Through the global call log in the Inbox. Note: you may need to refresh to see it.
Through the dialer:
