Business phone line

Answer and make calls in the app

Take calls on your computer or iPhone, call customers from your business number, and use the call screen.

In the app: CallsVoice plan · $25/moEveryone except Tech
  1. Go to My Profile → Calls in the app and press Turn on. Allow the microphone when your browser asks.
  2. Reload the page. The Calls page now says the line rings here first.
  3. To call someone, press Call in app on their client page, Call back on a call, or use the keypad on the Calls page. Customers always see your business number.

During a call you can Mute, Hold (they hear hold music), use the Keypad for phone menus, and Hang up. The call screen also lets you save an unknown caller as a lead or client, start a quote, appointment, job or invoice for them, and type Notes that save as you go.

If Calls in the app is off, calling from the line rings your cell first. Answer, press 1, and WorkBench dials the customer from your business number.

The Calls page

Filter by All, Missed, Voicemail and Outgoing. Missed calls and new voicemails are bold with a red dot, and voicemails play right in the list. Each row shows how long the call lasted and, for a finished call, who ended it: They hung up, You hung up, or Call dropped when the network cut it. On a phone, the Create sheet's Call tile opens a search box instead: type a name and tap it to call them, type a full number to call that, or press Keypad to dial by hand. Not on the Voice plan yet? The page says so in one line — the Call buttons still ring from your own phone, but those calls aren't logged here.

If something's not working

Calls ring my cell instead of the app.
Check that Calls in the app is on and that you reloaded the page afterwards. The tab has to stay open and signed in, and only one tab per browser holds the line (another tab may have it). The app gets about 15 seconds before the cell rings. The Tech role can't use calls in the app.
"Calling from the line is paused on our side for a moment."
It's a problem on WorkBench's side, not yours. Use your phone for that call and try the line again later.
The page says "Save your ring-through number again."
Your line is on plain call forwarding. Saving the ring-through number again turns on call announcements, voicemail and calling from the app.
