Why should I link my Freshsales and Freshcaller account?

From November 2018, the Freshsales Built-in phone is being replaced with Freshcaller. For existing users, Freshcaller can be activated and be used and all phone credits will be transferred to the Freshcaller account. For users who are already using Freshcaller, you can integrate your Freshcaller account with Freshsales and use the same.

Note: Once the migration is made to Freshcaller, users will not be able to revert back to their previous Freshsales phone.

Who will be able to set up this integration?  

• Role: You should be an account admin or an admin for both your Freshsales and Freshcaller accounts to set up this integration.
  
• Email address: Both your accounts should be signed in using the same email address.

What can I do with the Freshcaller widget?
The Freshcaller phone replaces the Freshsales built-in phone and brings with it a host of new features. However, users do not have to open a new window. They can use the Freshcaller widget to make phone calls from within Freshsales.    
For other phone related settings such as voicemail messages, call queues etc, the configuration can be done inside Freshcaller. Read more about the same from the    Freshcaller support page.
