    Always, mention it in the E.164 format

  • If you have set your availability to unavailable and the number is only assigned to you, calls will be logged as a Missed Call Activity and you will receive email alerts for the same otherwise it will ring out to the next available person on that number.

  • If you choose Forward calls to the mobile phone -  Salesmate will redirect the incoming calls directly on your linked phone when you are not using Salesmate web app or on the move. You must provide your Mobile number under your My Account > General.
  • If you select Answer calls on Mobile App - You will receive all the calls in your Salesmate Mobile App.
  • If options number 1 and 3 are turned ON together-  You can attend to all incoming calls either in your browser OR your phone at the same call rate.
  • If all three options are chosen then it will always forward calls to your mobile phone mentioned under My Account. 

Note: You will be charged a different call rate to receive calls on the Mobile Phone which is usually higher than the one for attending calls in your Browser.
