Gettings Started

Accessing Call Connect Settings

To begin setting up Call Connect:

  1. Click on your initials in the bottom left-hand corner of Seamless.
  2. Navigate to Settings > Calls to access Call Connect settings.
  3. Note that only account owners and admins have access to API Setup, Manage Phone Numbers, and Dispositions. All other users can access Call Settings and Voicemail to manage their preferences and save voicemails. 

If your organization uses Twilio, standard users may still use calling features that have already been configured for them, but only account owners and admins can complete the Twilio setup and assign phone numbers.
