Making Calls

As a Staff member, CINNOX lets you make two types of calls:

• CINNOX calls are the calls you make from your CINNOX Dashboard or App to visitors or customers through the CINNOX Widget installed in a WebRTC-supported web browser. They can also be the calls you make to your fellow Staff members through their CINNOX Dashboard or App.

• Dial Pad calls are the calls you make from your CINNOX Dashboard or App to visitors, customers, or fellow staff members by dialling their landline or mobile phone numbers.

📘

Chrome and Safari are the supported browsers to make a call.

 

CINNOX Voice Calls

You can make CINNOX calls from the Recent section of your Utility tab or from your Contacts List.

To make a CINNOX call from the Recent section of the Utility tab:

• From the menu tab, go to Utility, where the Recent section is located. The Recent section lists all your ongoing conversations with visitors, customers, and fellow Staff members.
• Tap the name of the room where you want to make a call.
• On the chatroom screen that will open, tap the Call icon on the top-right corner then tap Voice Call.

• CINNOX will then initiate the call.

To make a CINNOX call from your Contacts List:

• From the tab menu, go to Contacts.

• On the Contacts List that will appear, scroll down through or search for the contact you wish to call then tap their name to open their Contact Details.

• On your contact's Profile page, tap the On-net Call button to initiate the call.

Dial Pad - Voice Calls

You can make outbound calls using the dial pad.

To make an outbound call:

• From the tab menu, go to Call then tap the floating Dial pad button.

Caller ID

❗️

Making a call with Mainland China Destination

Local regulations do not allow calling a destination (e.g. mainland China +86) with your own number. Please select a Virtual Number as the caller ID and try again, or contact your account manager to purchase one.

📘

Caller IDs are not guaranteed to be displayed to your called parties.

• Check the Caller ID, your calling line identity (CLI) or display number to your called party.

You may change your Caller ID from the default one if there are other options available in your CINNOX service.

• Select the country code from the dropdown list.

• Type the phone number using the keypad.

• Tap the Call button to initiate the call.

 

Call Settings

Before making an outbound call using the Dial Pad, you can change several call settings directly from there:

• From the menu tab, go to Calls, then tap the floating Dial pad button.
• On the dial pad screen, tap the Gear icon on the top-right corner.

On the pop-up screen, the following options are available:

• Caller ID / Engagement Number - lets you select your Caller ID and enable or disable Engagement mode. Refer to Engagement Mode for more details.
• Call Forwarding - lets you enable or disable Call Forwarding. Refer to the Call Forwarding section of this Guide for more details.
• Personal Numbers - lets you add or remove your own phone number(s). Refer to the Personal Numbers section of this Guide for more details.

After making the necessary changes, close the pop-up screen.

 

Engagement Mode

When making outbound calls to customers or visitors, Staff members can set the virtual phone number they are using as their Caller ID in Engagement Mode.

Engagement is a CINNOX call feature that creates an engagement binding between a visitor and the Staff member who called them using a virtual number. The next time the visitor calls using the same number, they will be directly routed to the same Staff member who called them the first time.

👍

To enable or disable Engagement on a virtual number, refer to the Virtual Numbers section of this Guide.

To enable Engagement using the Dial pad:

• From the menu tab, go to Calls, then tap the floating Dial pad button.
• On the dial pad screen, tap the Gear icon on the top-right corner.
• On the Call Settings screen, under Caller ID / Engagement Number, tap > beside the phone number.

• On the Caller ID screen, toggle the Engagement Mode button ON then select the phone number you wish to use from the list of suggestions.
  • You may also tap Auto Select to let CINNOX select the number for you.

When a staff member calls a phone number while in Engagement mode, the staff member can save the called party's contact details and create an enquiry room for them, provided that the staff has permission to create external contact.

• A. If the dialled phone number is not yet saved as a Contact, CINNOX will prompt the Staff member to save the called party's contact details and create an enquiry room:

 

• B. If the dialled phone number is already saved as a Contact, CINNOX will prompt the Staff member to create an enquiry room:
