Looking to have business numbers for specific departments, teammates, or locations? Sign up for all the numbers you need. OpenPhone is designed to scale alongside your growing startup or small business.
Make business communications less complicated by setting up shared numbers in OpenPhone. You can also use separate numbers to streamline text messaging and assign unique 10-digit numbers to each team member. Control team member visibility and manage customer touchpoints — all from the same simple and intuitive workspace.
Give customers the best possible experience with your company. Using OpenPhone, you can leave internal comments and mentions to collaborate before sending SMS and MMS messages.
Everyone can see and respond to recent texts, voicemail messages, and calls in the same shared inbox. If a teammate is actively typing a response, anyone with access to your shared number can see it. That way, you prevent duplicate work. Tag teammates in an internal thread to collaborate on a customer request or assign follow-up tasks. And with inbox viewers, you can see whether they’ve reviewed a customer interaction without having to ask them directly.
Schedule text messages based on the recipient’s timezone. You can also automatically cancel your scheduled messages if contacts reach out before the scheduled message goes through. You can create pre-written text templates, also known as snippets, to quickly respond to commonly asked questions and reduce your response time.
Share your call and text data where you need it with our third-party integrations. Plug into platforms like HubSpot, Jobber, and Salesforce to save time on routine tasks and automatically deliver context to your team. Send more texts in less time to your contacts using our Zapier and Make integrations. Build text workflows for many situations, like sending reminder texts for appointments, helpful texts before a meeting, or requests for reviews after a project is done. Plus, you can build custom integrations with greater control using the OpenPhone API.
Navigate through your calls and texts efficiently. Mark conversations as ‘Open’ or ‘Closed’ to keep track of conversations that need your attention. Review your team’s calls and prioritize action items with call views. Jump into specific calls to review a call summary or transcript quickly.
You don’t have to be on the clock all the time to connect with contacts. OpenPhone allows you to set business hours for individual numbers that automatically mute call and text notifications when your team isn’t working. Route phone calls directly to voicemail and use auto-replies to set expectations on when they can expect to hear back from you. Always be around for your customers — without sacrificing your peace of mind or brand image.
