When your status is set to Ready, you can accept inbound calls.
When receiving an inbound call notification, click Accept to answer the call. Your status will automatically change to Occupied.
Notes:
- If you configured the app with Sales and the contact is new, you will see a pop-up window prompting you to add the new contact. You must close this pop-up window to accept or decline the call. We recommend disabling pop-ups for a better experience.
- Alternatively, you can configure the app with Console so the new contact window appears in the background.
