Three ways to start a call
- Click a phone link
- Right-click a number
- Type it in the panel
Many websites show phone numbers as links. Click one and the Salesfinity panel opens with that
number, instead of another calling app.A normal click is all it takes. If you hold Cmd, Ctrl, Shift or Alt while you click,
Chrome does what it usually does and Salesfinity stays out of the way.
Check before you dial
Numbers picked up from a web page do not dial straight away. The panel shows a Call this number screen first, so you can catch a wrong number before it rings.1
See who it is
Salesfinity checks whether the number belongs to one of your contacts. If it does, you see their
name, title and company. If not, you see Not one of your contacts. The call will be logged
against the number.

Check the time where they are
When Salesfinity knows the contact’s time zone, the panel warns you if it is outside weekday
business hours (8 AM to 5 PM their time). It is a reminder, not a block.

Pick your caller ID
Under Call from, choose which of your Salesfinity numbers to call from. The panel remembers
your choice for next time.
4
Call
Click Call. If the number has an extension, the panel shows it under the number.
During and after the call
- Mute, open the keypad, or hang up from the panel. You can also press Alt+Shift+M to mute and Alt+Shift+H to hang up from any tab.
- Close the panel if you need room. The call keeps going. Reopen the panel to get your controls back.
- When the call ends, pick a Disposition, add Notes, and click Save call. Click Skip if you do not want to log it.
A number you call from a web page is never attached to the CRM record open in another tab. It is
logged to the matching Salesfinity contact, or to the number alone if there is no match.

Some sites use their own click-to-call buttons that are not phone links. Highlight the number and
right-click instead.
I want to dial a whole list

The panel dials one number at a time. For a list, start a session in the Salesfinity web app,
where parallel dialing is available on eligible plans.
