Manage Calls
Calls help you record, monitor, and review every conversation with your leads and customers. Frappe CRM keeps a complete history of inbound and outbound calls, making it easier to track follow-ups, review interactions, and improve customer communication.
Each call is linked to the corresponding lead or deal, ensuring your team always has the complete communication history in one place.
Tip
Use call logs together with notes, emails, and tasks to maintain a complete timeline of customer interactions throughout your sales process.
