Built-in Calling using RingCentral Integration

Available in the Growth Plan and above.

RingCentral’s cloud phone system brings in VoIP based calling capabilities to Salesmate CRM. With the native RingCentral integration, you can make and receive calls directly from Salesmate with a click of a button. All incoming and outgoing calls can be logged and recorded* effortlessly. 

Sales teams can save hours per week dialling calls and log the conversations by leveraging this powerful integration. Recorded calls are a great way to monitor and improve sales pitches and client conversations.
