Working with the Voximplant Kit telephonyCopy URL
Once you have connected the integration, downloaded the softphone, and configured all the required settings, CRM managers can make and receive calls right in Bitrix24.
When an inbound call fr om a customer arrives, the system opens the associated card with all the details that can help an employee resolve the issue faster and more efficiently.
Call recording and information (date and time, customer name, responsible person) are logged in the associated card.
Depending on the settings, the system creates a new lead/deal if it no active associated entities are found for the phone number. The type of entity the system creates depends on your Bitrix24 settings. It applies to calls made outside of Bitrix24, for example, automated calls or calls dialed manually in the softphone.
You can start an outbound call to a customer by clicking their phone number in the customer card. The softphone immediately starts dialing the customer.
