Workflows

New Workflow Action: Log External Call to CRM 

We have a new workflow action that allows you to log external calls to the CRM using workflows. To log any external call, you can trigger the workflow using the “Inbound Webhook Trigger” and configure the “Log External Call” action, and pass all the call details and call recording.

Call direction, phone number of the receiver for inbound calls and the phone number of the dialer for outbound calls are mandatory. The call will be displayed in the conversations section of the contact.

Affiliate Manager

Toggle to Enroll New Customers as Sub Affiliates

Users can decide if they want to automatically enroll new customers as sub affiliates under the affiliate who brought them in after a successful sale.

There’s now a toggle in campaign settings under “Additional Settings” to enable or disable the auto-enrollment of new customers as sub affiliates. The same toggle can be configured in global settings, which will apply to all future campaigns you create.

How It Works:

1. Go to the Sub Account Affiliate Manager.

Important Notes:

1. Affiliate level commission settings will always take precedence over campaign-level settings for commission calculation.
