Finding the Contacts Page

From the smrtPhone Dashboard, you can easily access an address book that contains all of your contacts that are synced with your CRM. You can search, see all phone numbers associated with a contact, view contact history, update, and even call/text from the Contacts section of smrtPhone.

Only Account Owners and Users with granted permissions can access the Contacts Page.

To access your address book, click on the Contacts button on your Admin Dashboard or access it from your Inbox.

All your contacts are sorted alphabetically, and clicking on a contact shows you all the actions you can take:

  • All phone numbers associated to the contact

  • View contact in CRM

  • Edit contact

  • Pair Caller ID

  • Delete contact

  • DNT/DNC (if the case)

  • Communication History (if the case)

  • Call the contact

  • Text the contact - you can use SMS templates

  • Video call


Adding a New Contact

You can easily add a contact from within smrtPhone that will be synced back to your CRM. On the upper right part of the screen, click the New Contact button to add new contacts in your account.

create contact

Please complete all required fields. A contact that misses the Last / First name or the Phone Number cannot be saved and might generate an error message.

Once you have completed all fields, you can now press the Save button, and this new contact will be added to your list and synced to your CRM.


DNC and DNT Badge

In this place, you can also see if the contact has any numbers enrolled in the DNC/DNT list. When you click on the contact's name, the system will display a red badge next to the contact's phone number, reminding you of the fact that they have numbers added to the Do Not Call or Do Not Text list.

DNT

You can see the entire list of DNC numbers stored in your system by accessing your smrtPhone Dashboard >Admin > DNC Numbers. The DNT badge is also available in the Contact's Details.

You cannot even text any contact placed on the DNC List.


Rename Contact

If you want to edit a contact, you simply click on their name and hit the Edit Contact button when the menu drops down, modify the Last or First Name, and when finished, just press the Save button.

In case you've changed your mind and don't want to modify it anymore, click on Cancel.


Contact History

The Communication window will open on the right side of the screen, with all the Contact History that exists. This communication log between your company and this particular contact includes inbound and outbound calls, sent and received SMS text messages. It is a comprehensive view of all users and Caller IDs within smrtPhone.

comm

You can see call details by clicking the blue arrow next to each communication log entry on the right side. If you need more information about the specific communication, check your CRM or look at your Logs inside of smrtPhone.

Please remember that the Billing and Logs tab is only accessible to the Account Owner and users with granted permissions.


Merge or Delete Contacts

If you find duplicate records, reconcile them from within your CRM, following your CRM's process for merging duplicate records. You can also see here if your contacts have duplicates.

If you want to delete the contact, go to the Contacts Page on your dashboard, hit the three dots, and select the Delete Contact option. Then, confirm your choice.

delete

Please keep in mind that this action will be active for both, CRM and smrtPhone, will delete the contact from both places, if the case.


Paired Caller ID

The Contacts page also has the option to add a pairing caller ID for a specific contact.

paired

The Pair Caller ID setup helps you to assign a particular smrtPhone number (outbound) to a specific contact in your contacts. Access smrtPhone Dashboard > Contacts Page > Contact of choice and then click on the three dots for more options.

Select Pair Caller ID and then choose from the phone numbers / caller IDs available in your system using the search bar, and save your option.

pair

Paired Caller ID overwrites Geo Caller ID, Sticky Caller ID, and Individual Caller ID.

Once the Paired Caller ID is set for that contact, this smrtPhone number will always be used in an outbound call to that contact.

If you have a particular phone number default set by the Account Owner, a Sticky Caller ID, or a Geo Caller ID, the system will overwrite all the previous settings and use the Paired Caller ID you just set.
