Sales Jet makes phone calls according to the flow actions inside the funnels and pages.

Go to the Sales Channels section and select the Phone Calls tab. You will see a page with outgoing telephone calls. If your account balance does not have enough funds to make calls, you will see a red box with the notification: "SMS sending is stopped. To be able to send SMS, you must have more than $ 3.00 on account balance". This means that you do not have enough funds to make calls and you need to replenish your account. To do this, click the Make payment button and you will be redirected to the payment page.

Sample phone call

Suppose your company has a web page with a phone call request form on it. A visitor on your page fills out the form so he can get a discount on a particular service (for example, a 50% discount on a haircut at your salon). When the visitor submits the form the funnel with that event action is triggered and Sales Jet sends the defined response action - a phone call to the client.

This action could consist of several steps. In our example this is:

  1. Connect with another number - After the visitor has submitted a form Sales Jet calls the manager of your company. In the phone call template, you defined the phone number and the number of your manager.
  2. Speak the message - The manager answers the call and hears a recorded message: "New application from the Client Natalie Jones to get a haircut with a 50% discount". The second step in the template is “Say Message". The text you enter here is what the message will say. You can add variables by clicking the Show Variables button and use customized fields to tell the manager the name of the lead and other information on the form. (For example: the person's gender or their location).
  3. Connect with another number - After the message is relayed Sales Jet automatically makes a call to the lead and connects the manager and lead in the call. The manager can then schedule the appointment for the stylist.

Here is another example:

A visitor on your webpage submits a form and in response, Sales Jet makes a phone call to the lead.

  1. Speak the message - The customer takes the call and hears a recorded message about a particular product (for example, a haircut with a 50% discount). The client is invited to speak with the manager and sign up for a haircut.
  2. Connect with another number - The call is transferred to the manager, who communicates with the client and makes an appointment with the stylist.

You can customize any sequence of steps in a phone call template. You can also customize actions in a flow and use call templates in your flows to acheive a wide range of sequences and actions.
