Below is an overview of how you can use Aircall connected with Outreach. If you would like to learn how to configure your Outreach integration, click here.
Call activity is automatically logged in Outreach:
-
Call details are logged under the Calls section of a Prospect profile, with key details about the call, including whether it was inbound or outbound, answered or missed, and the name of the Aircall line that was used
Note: In order for calls to log, it is necessary to have an existing prospect with the phone number in Outreach.
-
All call comments/notes captured in Aircall are also logged, along with a link to the call recording
-
If a tag is added in Aircall, it is automatically logged to the notes field in Outreach
Call dispositions
Call dispositions are logged according to the calls' "answered" status. The integration will send "disposition id: 1" if the call is answered, if not, it will send "disposition id: 2". Then, Outreach will do the matching between its id and value and display the matching value on Outreach.
This setting applies by default and is not configurable within integration's settings

Call <> User association
In order for a call to get associated with a specific user in Outreach, there must be a user associated with the call in Aircall and that user must have the same email address in Outreach.
- Answered inbound and all outbound calls: These calls will have a user associated in Aircall so we will have the ability to search for existing users in Outreach with the same email address.
- If we find an existing user, then we will log the call with that user.
- Else, the call will get associated with the first admin user account that we are getting from the Outreach API.
- Missed inbound calls: As there is no associated user on those calls in Aircall, we cannot search for existing users in Outreach with the same email address. Thus, those calls will get associated with the first admin user account that we are getting from the Outreach API.
