How to Make Outbound Calls in the Sparkforge Mobile App
The Sparkforge mobile app lets you place outbound calls from a contact, conversation, dialer, or your phone's native call button. Take notes, log tasks, schedule follow-ups, and transfer calls without leaving the call screen.
The Sparkforge mobile app turns your phone into a working CRM. You can dial from a contact, a conversation, the floating dialer, or your phone's native call button — and during the call you can take notes, schedule follow-ups, log payments, and transfer to a teammate without switching apps.
The mobile app shares the same phone system as the Sparkforge desktop, so calls, recordings, and billing stay consistent across both.
What you can do during a call
- DND — toggle Do Not Disturb on the contact
- Transfer — pass the call to another teammate
- Calendars — schedule a follow-up appointment mid-call
- Notes — type or dictate notes that save to the contact record
- Tasks — create and view tasks tied to the contact
- Payments — review or log payments via the Payment Hub
- Profile — see the full contact profile
- Standard controls: speaker, mute, hold, keypad, end
What you can do after a call
- Finish or edit your in-call notes
- Schedule meetings or callbacks
- Add follow-up tasks
- Apply tags to organize the lead
- View the contact's profile
- Take next action: DND, message, or call back

Pricing and billing
