Click-to-call lets you start a phone call from the dashboard without picking up a phone. Astradial calls the first party, and when they answer, connects them to the second party.

How it works

  1. You specify a From (who gets called first) and a To (who gets connected after)
  2. Astradial rings the “From” party first
  3. When they answer, Astradial rings the “To” party
  4. When both answer, they are connected in a call

Initiate a call

1

Click Initiate Call

On the Calls page, click the Initiate Call button (phone icon) in the top-right area.

Choose which of your phone numbers (DIDs) to show as the caller ID to the “To” party. If you only have one DID, it is auto-selected.
