Instructions for configuring site for receiving calls

 

In order for your customers can make a call from the site to operator or manager of your company site you need to do the following settings:

 

1. Log into your personal account by clicking the "Login" button or register by clicking the "Registration".

Don’t forget to confirm your registration! To do this click the link in the received message. If you are registering by clicking on social networks icon you don’t need to confirm your registration.

 

In typical registration the system creates site which name is your site name. When you register by clicking on social networks icon the system creates site named "My website". Also 1 operator with specified name in the registration automatically will be created for receiving calls from your site.

If you want you can delete automatically created operator and create a new one by specifying name and e-mail that person who will receive calls from your own site.

 

2. Set the appearance of call button as you like
