Give every customer call a useful next step
Customer calls often contain the information a service team needs most: the reason for the enquiry, urgency, preferred time, or result of a follow-up. A call log that remains separate from the CRM makes that context difficult to use.
PeopleTide can record call activity from PeopleTide Phone or a configured PBX/Asterisk connection. The call can be associated with the relevant lead or customer so the team sees it alongside messages, tasks, tickets, and notes.
Choose the connection that matches your phone system
Use PeopleTide Phone when an approved Android business phone and SIM handle carrier calls. Use the PBX integration when an existing phone system can send approved call events to PeopleTide. Both approaches are designed to add call activity to customer history; they do not replace the carrier or PBX itself.
A practical call-follow-up workflow
- Receive or place the call through the connected phone system.
- Match the phone number to an existing lead or contact where possible.
- Record the direction, time, status, and permitted call metadata.
- Add a note, create a task, or assign a ticket for the next action.
- Review later messages and calls from the same customer in one timeline.

Examples across service businesses
A repair desk can connect a missed call with an existing appliance-service record. A clinic reception team can see that a patient called before sending an approved follow-up message. A local merchant can assign a callback task after a product enquiry.
The operational details vary by integration. PBX credentials should be scoped and protected, and mobile devices should be commissioned for the correct organization.
Implementation considerations
Agree which phone numbers are business numbers, who owns unanswered calls, how quickly follow-up is expected, and which data may be recorded. Test inbound, outbound, missed, and duplicate call events before relying on the timeline.
