How to Use the GCF Softphone with Odoo
Users can make calls in two ways using the GCF Softphone within Odoo:
Option 1: Call directly from the GCF Softphone.
1. Open the Contacts within the softphone. Here you will see both Odoo contacts and GCF contacts listed. This automatically updates and syncs.
2. Find and click the number or contact you wish to call, and Call.
Option 2: You can use the GCF click-to-dial extension to directly click and call the phone numbers that appear in the CRM.
1. Click here to activate the GCF Chrome extension.
2. Once the extension is activated, it will automatically connect with the GCF Softphone app.
3. Within the CRM, you’ll find a click-to-dial button next to all phone numbers. Simply, click on the button to dial the desired number or contact.
4. This will prompt the softphone dial pad to open up. Click on the Call button to place the call.
Alternatively, you can have the Dial immediately setting turned on in the extension settings. This way, when you click the call button, the call is placed through the softphone directly, without asking you to click Call.
