On this page
Every call with the customer sits in the order's conversation, beside the texts and emails, so the whole story is in one place.
What a call looks like
Each call is a bubble — the customer's calls on the left, yours on the right — tagged with what it is:
- Call recording — a call that was recorded, with a player.
- Voicemail — a message the customer left, with the player.
- Missed call — a call nobody answered.
A missed call or voicemail nobody has heard yet carries a red Unread tag.
Under the player you'll find the length and, when it's ready, the transcript (Call transcript or Voicemail transcript), with the customer's and your words apart.
Calls the AI receptionist took read AI receptionist took a call from …, with its summary, the recording and the Conversation transcript.
