Invite Users and Set up Teams. In Realeflow, all users are invited using their email addresses. You can organize them into teams for shared inboxes and many Inbound Flow options.
Learn more about User Management ⇢Purchase Phone Numbers. You can port in existing phone numbers if you'd like, but this takes a bit of time. If you choose to port in numbers, we recommend getting started with a few new/interim numbers so you are fully familiar with smrtPhone by the time your numbers are transferred.
Learn more about Phone Number Management ⇢Set up Inbound Flows. You get to decide exactly what happens to any inbound communication using our drag-and-drop editor. Each phone number can point to only one flow, but you can use the same flow for many phone numbers.
Top up & play around! You can even set up Auto Top-up, so you don't have to think about it. You are all set to get started using the system and experiencing the power of deep integration with your CRM.
5. Activate Your Subscription
When you start with smrtPhone, you will be automatically placed into a Trial status, which has limited functionality. You can activate at any time using the button at the top of the dashboard.
If you don't manually activate your subscription and don't cancel either, at the end of your trial period, you will begin to incur subscription charges. You can change your subscription level at any time - you can move to a different subscription and/or lock in to an Annual plan for added savings.
