Before You Dive In

Ivorey™ lets you manage all your business calls without needing a separate phone system. Whether you're on your desktop or using the mobile app, you can make and receive calls directly through your Ivorey™ number and everything syncs back to your CRM.​

This means when a lead calls your sales line, or you’re following up with a client, you can handle it all inside Ivorey™ or via the LeadConnector app with full call tracking, notes, tags, and automations.​

This guide is perfect if you're looking to:

  • Answer client calls from your phone without giving out your personal number

  • Follow up with leads on the go

  • Make outbound calls directly from your desktop or app

  • Manage your call history, recordings, and automations - all in one place

If you have connected a pre-existing number, instead of purchasing a new number through Ivorey™, you will only be able to make outbound calls from your desktop (using the pre-existing number). If you wish to receive calls, or send and receive SMS messages, you will need to purchase a number instead.

Pre-Requisites to Be Able to Receive or Make Calls Through Ivorey™

Before getting started, it's crucial that you follow the below steps:

  1. Purchase a phone number through Ivorey™ and set up your phone services.​

  2. Complete any regulatory compliance steps (e.g. A2P for USA or regulatory and address bundles for AUS). ​

  3. Download the LeadConnector app and login with your Ivorey™ credentials. This will enable you to receive and make calls on-the-go. ​

  4. Ensure you've set up any team members. Select each team member (including yourself) and navigate to the [Call and Voicemail Settings] tab. From there, you can assign phone numbers and call routing (e.g. allowing calls to the Web App or a phone number of a real phone). ​

  5. (Optional) Enable call recording:
    From the main Ivorey™ menu, go to [Settings] > [Phone Numbers] > select the three dots next to the number > [Edit] > toggle on [Enable Call Recording] if you'd like the calls to be recorded and stored in the contact record via the CRM. ​


How To Make and Receive Calls

When calls are made or received to the phone number, you can answer them via the app like you would a normal call (as long as you've set the settings above). Once you establish a call connection, a batch of icons appear on screen. These provide the following actions that you can take:

  1. Mute: Mute yourself during a call, preventing the caller from hearing you while you can still hear them.​

  2. Dial: Opens the dial pad for making selections.​

  3. Hold: Puts the call on hold, muting both parties, and is triggered automatically when initiating a Warm Transfer.​

  4. Warm Transfer: Speak to the recipient before transferring the call. You can switch between calls and merge them if needed.​

  5. Blind Transfer: Instantly transfers the call to another user without a prior conversation with the caller. ​

  6. Quick Dialing: Starts dialing immediately after opening the dialer, searching for contact matches as you type.​

  7. Add Notes After Calls: Capture important details post-call from the Recents screen.​

  8. Tag Contacts After Calls: Apply tags to contacts directly after calls from the Recents screen. This is a great way to trigger automations e.g. you could have a workflow with a rule, that when you apply a certain tag to a contact, it creates a task for you to follow up, sends an SMS/email, or any other steps that you choose. ​

  9. Scripts. To use this feature, navigate to [Settings] > [Phone Numbers] > [Advanced Settings] > [Call Scripts] to create or select a script. Once created, users can access the script during calls by clicking on [Scripts] and selecting the appropriate one. Perfect if there's important notes for sales teams etc.
