Logging Calls

Logging Calls

The Log a Call functionality helps you to register the inbound calls (received from leads and customers) and outbound calls (dialed to leads and customers) with call details such as call duration, date and time of calls, notes, etc. Users who frequently make calls or receive calls in an organization can use this functionality in Bigin. You can add both outbound and Inbound Calls and scheduled calls.
                                        
Alert
New fields have been added to the Calls Module, and the update will be rolled out in phases. During the transition period, both the new and old interfaces will coexist. Once all users have migrated to the new enhancements, the old fields will be deprecated and eventually removed. If you are using the new interface, please click on this help document.
