Record Your Phone Calls

Turn on automatic call recording...

...or record the call manually.

Once the call has been recorded you can listen to the recording, mute the sound or download the recording from the Conversation thread.

Downloads save in your browser's downloads destination in a .mp3 format.

When recording a call, it is crucial to ensure optimal audio quality by avoiding any additional background noise or interference. To achieve the best results, make sure there are no other tabs or applications playing music or sound in the background on your computer. Having such tabs open can severely degrade the quality of the recording, causing distortions or unwanted audio artifacts. By minimizing any potential audio distractions, you can ensure a clear and high-quality recording of your call.

Call Waiting

With our Call Waiting feature, you can seamlessly place any call on hold, granting you the flexibility to momentarily step away or conduct important research. While on hold, your caller will be treated to soothing hold music, ensuring a pleasant experience for them. Additionally, for those who utilize our automated call recording feature, it's important to note that the call will continue to be recorded even when on hold.

Call Transfer

Introducing the Call Transfer feature, designed to enhance your communication capabilities within Salesmsg. With this functionality, you can effortlessly redirect any active call either to a different Salesmsg inbox or to an external phone number. It's important to note that our current system supports "cold" call forwarding. This means that the transition happens seamlessly; however, there won't be an option for you to brief the recipient about the nature or context of the forwarded call.

Conference Calling

Our calling capabilities now include a conference call feature. This functionality lets you integrate an inbox into an ongoing call or include an external phone number. For call transfers via conference, you can place the current caller on hold, introduce a third party to discuss the issue, and then exit the call. The conference remains active, allowing your teammate to assist the contact.

You also have the option to keep the call active for other participants or end it for everyone. This feature allows you to engage your colleagues for assistance.

If either of you, as the final two participants, exits the conference, it will conclude. At the end of the conference you will see apropriate timeline showing the participants and a call recording if the conference was recorded.

To enable conference caling go to Settings - Inboxes - Particular Inbox Settings, locate "Calling" window in settings and turn Conference calling on.

Call Transcription

You can now take advantage of our latest feature, call transcription, to enhance your communication experience. Enabling call recording transcription is quick and easy. Simply navigate to the "Inbox" section of your account, click on "Settings," scroll down to "Calling," and find the Voice to Text option. Transcription will also be automatically created for any voicemail messages as well.

By activating this feature, you can automatically convert your recorded calls into text transcripts, making it effortless to review and reference important conversations.

This powerful tool is designed to improve productivity and help you maintain accurate records of phone discussions. In addition, the Transcript window allows you to copy transcription to the clipboard and download a .txt file with the text.

For additional convenience, we will display a "No text to transcribe." message for recordings with no voice recorded, so you don't need to listen to the whole file just to realize it’s empty.

New Updates to Call Transcription

Please note that call transcriptions will now cost 1 credit per minute of transcription. This change helps manage the costs of the feature while ensuring you still have access to transcriptions when needed. You also have the option to manually request transcriptions instead of having them generated automatically, allowing you to decide when to transcribe a call. This update ensures flexibility and better control over your credit usage.

Voicemail

To be on top of things, you can ask a customer to leave to a voice message if you are not able to answer the call. You can choose a ring duration and register a greeting up to 3 minutes long.

Please be aware that if voicemail is activated, all declined calls will automatically be forwarded to your voicemail.

Call Whisper

You can add a personalized voice message before forwarding calls to voicemail. This is helpful if you want to provide context to assist the recipient of the forwarded call.
