How It Works
Learn how SimpleCallCenter helps you manage your call center operations
How Outbound Calls Work
Outbound calling in SimpleCallCenter is built for manual agent calls (follow-ups, callbacks, customer outreach). No robocalls.
Agent starts a call manually
An agent initiates an outbound call from the app (for example from call history, a contact/lead, or by typing a phone number).
Caller ID selection (when needed)
Before the call is placed, the system decides what number will be shown as the Caller ID:
If the agent has only one available Caller ID, it's used automatically.
If the agent has a dedicated direct phone number or participates in more than one Call Center, the agent must choose the Caller ID:
- a Call Center Direct Phone Number (placing the call on behalf of that Call Center), or
- their direct phone number
The call is placed and connected
SimpleCallCenter places the call to the destination number and connects it to the agent when the other side answers.
Live supervisor monitoring (for Call Center outbound calls)
Outbound calls made on behalf of a Call Center can be supervised the same way as inbound calls. A supervisor can see who the agent is talking to in real time and can connect using a dedicated supervisor window with modes:
- Listen only
- Talk to Agent only
- Talk to Caller only
- Talk to both (Agent + Caller)
After the call (uploads, AI, stats, CRM)
After hangup, SimpleCallCenter finalizes the call and applies your enabled features:
- If recording is enabled → the recording is uploaded
- If transcription is enabled → the transcription is uploaded
- If AI summary is enabled → the summary is added to the call
- Normal agent statistics are updated
- If AI evaluation is enabled → the evaluation result is added to the call
If a CRM integration is connected:
- the system adds the call, recording, transcription, and summary to the CRM
- if the call creates a new lead, the system attempts to extract email, name, address, and company from the conversation and populate those fields automatically when available
