Making a Call Using Click-to-Dial

You can not call contacts without a phone number. The application recognizes All Phone fields.

  1. Locate the number that you want to dial in a Сontact record.
  2. Click on the number. The number is automatically dialed in the softphone (Collaboration application).
    • A number that has already been clicked cannot be clicked again for five seconds.
  3. Pop-up now shows contact info: name and phone number. And you'll receive a notification about an outgoing call in the top-right corner.



Answer a Call

Keep Collaboration open while working with the application


You can tell that you have an incoming call if you see a flashing red button near your tab name in the browser. It also plays the ringtone. You should also receive a notification in the top-right corner


To answer an incoming call, press the green button in the pop-up.

Application Usage

Keep Collaboration open while working with the application


You can say that Integration works if you see that notification at the top-right corner, after refreshing the  Vtiger page.

Details about the call, if any, are displayed just above the Answer button, and typically include:

  • Caller Avatar from the CRM
  • Caller name
  • Caller's phone number.

Under that information, you can see an Actions list. Click on this to see possible activities with the call:

  • View / Add to Contacts
  • View / Add to Leads
  • Add Ticket
  • View all Tickets


When the caller's phone number can be matched with some number of existing Vtiger records, you can see the item View in Contacts. Click on this button will open a matching contact record in a new tab. 

When the caller's phone number cannot be matched with some number of existing Vtiger records, you can see the Add to Contacts item. By clicking on this icon, you will open a new tab with a prefilled Phone number and Surname if it's possible.

The same applies for the Leads.
