Overview

To call from Unify, your workspace must have an active dialer and you must have an assigned phone number. Calls use your browser’s microphone and speakers. Your assigned number is the number prospects see when you call. A workspace administrator activates the dialer and can assign numbers to team members. Each rep can set a callback number so incoming calls to their assigned numbers reach them on another phone.

Activate the dialer

1

Open dialer settings

Go to Settings → Dialer. If your workspace has not activated calling, Unify displays the activation screen.
2

Review the terms and activate

Review the displayed voice-service terms, accept them, and click Activate. The phone-number and calling settings become available.

Add and assign phone numbers

Check Your numbers for a number already assigned to you. Administrators can also review All workspace numbers, using its filters to find numbers by assignee or location. To add a number:
1

Open the number selector

Click Phone number. If you can assign numbers to other users, choose the rep who will use the number.
2

Choose an available number

Choose the country and use the available filters to find a number. For US numbers, you can search by area code or state.Review the allowance and any recurring credit cost before adding a number. See Dialer pricing.
3

Add the number

Click Add next to the number you want. Once added, the number appears in the assigned user’s list of numbers.
For country-specific access requirements, see international calling.

Set a forwarding number

Use Callback number to choose where you receive calls when a prospect calls your assigned Unify number back. For example, you can forward callbacks to your mobile phone.
1

Enter your callback number

In dialer settings, click Add phone number in the callback section. Choose the country code and enter the number where you want to receive calls.
2

Save the number

Click Save. Your callback number appears in the settings, where you can edit or remove it later.

Prepare to call

Allow microphone access when your browser prompts you, and check that your headset or speakers are connected. Keep the Unify browser tab open while calling. Before your team starts, review call recording and call dispositions. Configure CRM sync if you want logged call activity to appear in your CRM. Then follow Making calls to call from a person record or task.

Remove a number

Use the number’s Delete action when it is no longer needed. Incoming calls continue forwarding to its assigned user’s callback number for three days, after which the number is released.
