Telephony (contains old too)

Numbers

The Numbers section is your central hub for managing phone numbers and telephony accounts on Hooman Labs. It is divided into three tabs:

  • Numbers — View and manage all phone numbers added to your workspace.

  • Telephony — Connect and manage your telephony provider accounts.

  • Compliance — Submit and track compliance applications required for Indian numbers.

Overview: How It All Works

Before you can make or receive calls, you need to complete three things in order:

  1. Connect a telephony account (your provider, e.g. Plivo, Twilio, Exotel).

  2. Submit a compliance application (required for Indian numbers).

  3. Add a number and assign it to an agent or use it for outbound calls.


Telephony

The Telephony tab lists all provider accounts connected to your workspace, showing their Id, Account Name, Provider, and the number of Numbers linked to each account.

(Below is the old one)

We offer two flexible telephony options for outbound and inbound calling:

Hooman Labs Telephony

We offer both Indian and International virtual numbers powered by Plivo. To start:

Step 1: Compliance Application

  • Submit your business documents for compliance review.

  • Once approved, you can proceed to add numbers.

Documents required for Indian virtual numbers:

  1. Certificate of incorporation

  2. GST Certificate

Compliance application is a one time requirement. Once approved, you can add new numbers whenever you want.

Step 2: Add Numbers

  • Click Add Number.

  • Choose from available numbers in the dropdown.

  • Assign:

    • As a "From Number" for outbound calls.

    • Or link to a specific inbound agent for incoming calls.

A workspace can be connected to only a single Telephony account but can support multiple numbers under same account.
