Inbound Call Forwarding to the Mobile App
Inbound Call Routing is the process that happens when a prospect calls back the phone number from a text message, or the phone call, that they received from your CRM outbound number.
When a campaign sends out text messages or calls, the outbound phone number is the phone number that you set up under Settings > Phone Numbers.
Step 1: How to set up Inbound Call
- When logged into your account Head into 'settings' > 'My Staff' > Click the 'Edit' button
- Scroll down to 'Call and Voicemail Settings' > Assign a Twilio number to the user
3. Select forward calls to the mobile App
How does it work?
When the check box is selected all the calls made to the Twilio number will be routed to the mobile app. The mobile app will receive a notification and pick up a call.
