Hi All,

You can now invoke a call from a Cliq message through Zoho Telephony. Smart suggestions in Cliq auto-detects the phone number shared in a conversation and provides you with an actionable suggestion to make a phone call right away. All you have to do is set up your connection with one of the following platform- Zoho CRM /Zoho Recruit /Zoho One Zoho Bigin to enable Telephony integration for Cliq.

Here's how you can enable Telephony integration in Cliq

Formula fields are fields whose value is calculated instead of being entered by the user. Using this, number, decimal and date manipulations can be done. The value of this field could be numeric or date depending on the output of the formula. In date manipulations, the result will be given in milliseconds, which you can format as per you need. The operators we support are +, - , *, /. Formula fields get recalculated automatically
