Calling is available only on the Mixmax Enterprise plan. Check out our pricing page for more information.
Mixmax Calling lets you generate phone numbers and call your prospects, customers, candidates, and contacts directly from the browser. All call logs and the duration can be synced directly to Salesforce.
Setting up Calling
The United States and Canada
From the Calling Settings dashboard, select the country you would like to generate a phone number for:
Enter the area code you would like to use to generate a phone number:
Click the Get Phone Number button to generate a phone number:
Please note phone numbers are subject to area code availability.
If a phone number with the area code you selected is not available, please try again later or select a different area code.
You can specify your incoming phone number on this page as well.
If you call someone via Mixmax and they call you back, the call will be routed to the incoming phone number.
Please note that if you receive a return call from someone, it will NOT be directed back to the Mixmax Dialer console.
The call will be directed to the incoming phone number provided in the settings. As a best practice, we advise using your personal mobile phone number or work phone number.
Also, numbers that have not been used to make calls or have not received calls for more than 30 days will be released.
International Calling
To comply with local regulations, Mixmax requires additional information from you or your business to generate international phone numbers. Please contact our support team with the required documentation to purchase new international numbers.
Once the required documents are approved, the requested country will appear in the list of available countries:
Phone numbers available to you will appear in the Select Phone Number drop-down:
After selecting the phone number, click Get Phone Number to apply the phone number to your account:
You can also specify your incoming phone number on this page. If you call someone via Mixmax and they call you back, the call will be routed to the incoming phone number. International phone numbers should include the country code preceded by a plus sign (+).
Please note that if you receive a return call from someone, it will NOT be directed back to the Mixmax Dialer console.
The call will be directed to the incoming phone number provided in the settings. As a best practice, we advise using your personal mobile phone number or work phone number.
Also, numbers that have not been used to make calls or have not received calls for more than 30 days will be released.
Local Presence
With Local Presence, you can call prospects from a number with the same area code as them.
Before using Local Presence, please ensure you have a personal number set up like described above.
When Local Presence is enabled for a Workspace, you can place a call from either your phone number or a Local number.
If Local Presence is enabled for your account, it will be the default option in the call module.
If you would like to use your personal phone number to place a call instead, you will need to select Your phone number from the drop-down first, then place the call.
To use Local Presence, open up the Call task you are working on, and in the From section, select the Local Number option.
Calls to the prospect will come from a number with the same area code.
Once you click call, Mixmax will purchase a new number or use a number available in your workspace to best match the recipient's area code.
If a phone number with a specific area code is unavailable, we will default to the personal number configured in your personal Calling settings.
Phone numbers purchased for the Local Presence that are actively used within your workspace will be available to all users and are not associated with one specific user.
When routing incoming calls made with a local number, Mixmax will automatically find the last Mixmax user who called that contact using the given local number. The call will be forwarded to the incoming call number configured for the expected Mixmax user.
To enable Local Presence for your workspace, contact our support team.
Local Presence is currently available only for US numbers.
Place or log a call from Gmail
You can place a call from the Mixmax Sidebar from Gmail. If you're looking at a contact in the Sidebar whose phone number is in your CRM, click the Call icon.
You can still place a call if you're not looking at a particular contact in the Sidebar. Hover over the plus sign in the top right corner, then choose Phone call from the menu:
A call window will open. In the To field, you can enter the name of a Salesforce lead or contact — if their phone number is in Salesforce, it will automatically populate with the number. Alternatively, you can type or paste a phone number into the To field. Fill out the fields and add call notes, which will sync to Salesforce after you end the call. After you hang up, you can continue to edit the form.
If you call from your desk or cell phone or someone calls you, you can still log the call to Salesforce. Click Log call from the menu, and then fill out the information to log into Salesforce:
Place a call from any phone number link
With the Mixmax Chrome extension installed, any phone number link on any website you visit becomes a number you can call using Mixmax. Just click a phone number link like (844) 387-6962, and a calling window will open, ready for you to place the call.
Salesforce
When you place a call via Mixmax, you fill out a form that can sync to Salesforce. The form can include fields such as call disposition and notes. Specify which fields appear on your CRM Settings page.
See your Calling usage
To see your calling charges based on the number of minutes and phone numbers you've used during the current billing period, go to your Calling Settings page. Mixmax administrators can see a summary of all calling charges for their organization in the Billing section of their Admin Settings page.

Reporting
The Calls report type, available in the Report Builder, displays a list of all calls made by the members of your workspace, including the manually logged ones.
You can view detailed call information in this report, including the following:
caller and recipient's names
the phone numbers To/From which the call was made
call date
call duration
call recording (you can listen to it directly from the report, change the playback speed, or download the file)
call notes (click the note preview to open the entire note in a popup window)
call status (Completed, Busy, No answer, or Failed)
The Completed call status is also displayed for calls that were not answered in case you were able to leave a voicemail. Unfortunately, at the moment, there is no opportunity to mark the calls with voicemails differently, but the call duration might be helpful in telling the difference.
