What is a live call widget?

The Live Call Widget is a real-time tool in MyOperator that helps you manage active calls without leaving your dashboard.

  • See live call details: Caller number, assigned agent, real-time call duration.

  • Take action mid-call: Transfer, Hang Up, Add Note—without leaving the dashboard.

  • Auto-sync with Logs/Reports: All actions appear in Call Logs and analytics.
  • Who can use it: Admin/Moderator by default; Agents need call-control permissions.

Notes

  • The widget is available only on the web panel.
  • Some features may require Admin or Moderator roles.
  • It does not currently support mobile app or API access.

Use the controls

A) Transfer a call

  1. In Live Calls, select the active call.

  2. Click Transfer.

  3. Choose an Agent or Department from the list.

  4. (Optional) Add a short note (e.g., “Billing query”).

  5. Click Confirm.

Expected: The call moves instantly to the selected destination and is logged with timestamp + note.


B) Hang up a call

  1. Open the active call in the widget.

  2. Click Hang UpConfirm.

Expected: The system ends the call from your side (useful when some landlines don’t auto-disconnect). The log shows Ended by agent.


C) Add a note mid-call

  1. Click Add Note.

  2. Enter key points or follow-ups (e.g., “Promised callback 4:00 PM IST”).

  3. Click Save.

Expected: The note is saved to the Call Log with a timestamp and is visible to authorized agents.


D) Read live call details

  • Caller: Phone number (and contact name, if available).

  • Agent: Who’s handling the call now.

  • Duration: Real-time timer since connection.


Results: what you should see

  • Call Logs: Transfer/Hang Up/Note entries with user, timestamp, and (if added) note text.

  • Reports: Talk time and duration reflect the active call’s timeline after actions.

  • Contact timeline: Notes and events appear alongside the call record.

Limitations & edge cases

  • Availability: Web Panel only (no Mobile App, no API).

  • Permissions: If you don’t see Transfer, Hang Up, or Add Note, your role lacks required permissions—ask an Admin/Moderator.

  • Transfer target unavailable: You’ll get an “unavailable” error and the call remains with you—choose a different destination.

  • Carrier behavior: After Hang Up, some carriers take a few seconds to fully disconnect.

  • Notes editing: Edits may be restricted by role; all notes are timestamped.

Troubleshooting

  • I can’t find the widget.
    Go to Call Logs and check the bottom-left of the screen; refresh the page or clear cache if it doesn’t render.

  • Transfer button is missing/greyed out.
    Ask an Admin to grant Call Control → Transfer permission; ensure the target agent/department is online.

  • Hang Up doesn’t end the call immediately.
    Wait a few seconds for carrier teardown; if still active, retry once, then escalate to your Admin.

  • My note didn’t save.
    Check internet connectivity, then re-open the call record in Call Logs → Add Note after the call ends.
