Using the Mobile App Caller ID
When using the caller ID, you can immediately identify the identity of incoming calls made from your existing platform contacts. Knowing who is on the call lets you prioritize and personalize your communication and improve your client experience.
Important: Caller ID is currently available only for iOS users.
Tip: Caller ID is a good solution for staff members that don’t want to mix business contacts with personal contacts on their mobile devices but still prefer to know who is calling.

Using the Caller ID
When using the Caller ID, you can see the name and last name (if it exists in your platform contacts) of the contact that is calling you immediately.
You will also see the contact information on your recent calls list.
When manually typing a phone number that exists on your platform contacts, you will also be able to see the contact information immediately, helping you identify that the number already is on your contacts.
Note: Caller ID syncs with your phone every time you open/reopen the app, with the distinction that 10 minutes have passed since you the last update.

Does the Caller ID save the platform contacts on my device?
Caller ID does not add contacts to your device contacts. The information is protected on the app background and will be removed from your device if the App is uninstalled.
Why can’t I see the Caller ID?
Ensure you have enabled the Caller ID on your phone settings under “Call blocking & Identification”.
If you didn't accept the required permission, you'll see a warning banner on the Caller ID settings.
You must also have the app open in the foreground for 20 seconds to enable the sync between your contacts and your device.

Try relaunching the app after 10 mins if you find that the sync did not process and keep your app open in the foreground for 20 seconds to active the sync,
