For salespeople, an efficient calling workflow is essential for saving time and reaching targets. Pipedrive offers several options for you to easily make calls from the web app or on the go with our mobile app.


Caller

Note: Starting October 6, 2022, the Caller feature is no longer available for new customers. For customers on the Professional, Power or Enterprise billing plan (who signed up or upgraded before October 6, 2022) the Caller feature is being removed in phases leading up to December 31, 2023. After this date, Caller will no longer be available.

Pipedrive's built-in Caller feature enables you to make, record and store calls directly from the Pipedrive web app by clicking on your contact's phone number. Valid phone numbers added to deals, people, organizations and even leads can use this function. Any calls that you make will automatically be logged as activities and are trackable in your reports.

The cost of your calls depends on your location and the location of the receiver. In this article, you can read about Caller rates.


Callto Syntax: Make VOIP calls from Pipedrive

Note: The configuration of this action is only available to admin users.


If you use an external app such as Skype, Link, or many other SIP-based phone systems to make your calls, you can do this from Pipedrive by setting up a "Callto" syntax under your default calling settings. Clicking on your contact's phone number within Pipedrive will prompt the app to open, allowing you to make your call.
