Initiating Audio Calls

With Zoho SalesIQ's "Audio Call" feature, you can make and receive audio calls, just like using a traditional phone. All you need is a pair of computer speakers and a microphone or a headset attached to your computer or handset.

Benefits of Audio Calls

  1. The long, monotonous chat sessions are not needed anymore, audio call helps your operators to solve problems quickly and efficiently. This improves resolution rate and saves time and effort.
  2. With audio calls, visitors do not have to wait for hours for a single response from an operator. They can get their queries answered then and there.

Audio calls in the visitor chat window

  1. The visitor can initiate a call from the chat window and once the operator picks up the call, both will get connected via an audio call. In case the call gets disconnected, then the visitor can use the Call Again option available in the window to connect back to the operator.
  2. In case the call is missed or if the operator cancels, then the visitor gets an option in the chat window to record and send a voice message to the operator.


This is the view in the operator's portal when a visitor calls.
