Turn on voice calls

With voice calls, visitors tap the microphone in the chat and talk to your assistant. Answers come from the same knowledge as typed chat.

Switch it on

  1. Open Channels and install.
  2. Switch on Voice calls.
  3. Choose the Longest call: 2, 3, 5 or 10 minutes.

You can also add a “Talk to” button to the chat, on Appearance, under Extras.

What happens on a call

  • Your assistant answers only from your website, files and answers, the same as typed chat.
  • It takes a name and email or phone number when someone wants a reply.
  • It passes the chat to your team when someone asks for a person, unless the assistant is set to AI only.
  • Every call appears in your Inbox as a transcript. Only the transcript is kept, never the recording.

Voice minutes

The Pro plan includes 120 voice minutes a month. On any plan you can add a monthly bundle, or buy top-up minutes that never expire, under Billing and usage, Voice minutes. Top-ups are used after your monthly minutes run out.

We email you at 80% and when minutes run out. When they do, the microphone is hidden and visitors can still type.
