  • font size

We present to your attention the opportunity to make phone calls directly from the corporate instant messenger Slack.

If you respond positively to at least one of these questions, then the proposed service is for you.

  • Does your team use Slack?
  • How do you call each other, also via Slack or just by phone?
  • Would you like to have a good telephone connection, even when there is no high-quality Internet connection?
  • Do you use your personal cell phone when you need to call colleagues in other cities or countries and not only during working hours and from the workplace, but from home or car?
  • If you do not have a workplace at all?
  • Would you like to be paid by your company for your calls to work with YOUR phone and you would not be worth anything?
  • Would you like to be able to two-way communication on a cell phone with colleagues, but that they DO NOT KNOW your cell phone number?

We have a solution - this is Click2call Boat for Slack! ...

The usage script is very simple, all the necessary settings will be made by the administrator of your team. You only need to install Zoiper app on your cell phone and make its setup and activation via the QR-code, which will send you to the administrator of your team.

That's all, you can use the service, that is, call the phone. If there is an Internet connection, the call will come to Zoiper and there will be nothing worth your team, if the Internet connection is poor or it is not, the call will be forwarded to your cell phone. Such a call will be charged according to the tariffs of the service and accounted for in payments of your team.

Using the service is very simple:

  1. You need to select the Click2call Apps in Slack.
  2. Then there are 2 options:
    • from the drop-down list select the employee whom you want to call
    • or enter the number you need to call.
  3. Click2call service calls you the first and after dial the number of your chosen talker or numbers you entered.
  4. Your talker will take the call and it's all - you can talk!

As a result, you can always talk well regardless of the quality of the Internet connection and the balance on your phone (if only it accepts incoming calls). The account of this conversation will be assigned to your team.

To install the Click2call Bot in your team (workspace), just go to the Bot's setup page and click the Install Click2call Bot button.
