Enabling Engage
Contact us at support@fieldpulse.com or use the Chat feature in the bottom right hand corner of your screen to enable Engage. Once Engage has been enabled and your phone number(s) have been connected, you’re ready to begin exploring the application! Engage can be used through the FieldPulse web app or through the Engage by FieldPulse app, available on iOS and Android.
Engage Settings
To view or adjust your settings, click the gear icon.
Do Not Disturb
Turning on Do Not Disturb will send your calls directly to voicemail without ringing on your device. For example, you may want to turn on Do Not Disturb during an important all-team meeting or on a holiday when your company is not doing business. This operates on an individual user basis: a user can turn on Do Not Disturb without affecting the status of any other users.
This section allows you to set a default voicemail for all Engage phone lines. (Specific voicemail greetings can be selected for each phone line under Settings > Phone Numbers if that better meets your business needs.) Here, you can record your voicemail greeting, or type your message to be read using text to speech. Simply select Text to Speech or Audio Recording based on your preference. Make sure to press Save after making changes.
Audio Samples
Audio Samples are custom audio messages that can be used for voicemail greetings. Record your audio sample here, then select it as your voicemail greeting under Phone Numbers > Select Phone Number > Custom Voicemail Greeting > Audio Recording.
Working Hours allows you to set the hours that your business is available to answer customer communications in Engage. You can manually adjust your Time Zone, as well as dictate where calls should be directed outside of your working hours. Some users enter a phone number under Redirect To, while others select Audio Recording and set a custom voicemail greeting for incoming calls outside of working hours. (Note: Working hours will apply to all Engage lines.)
Notifications
Notifications allows you to toggle the incoming message tone on or off based on your preference.
Reporting allows you to pull reports on your Engage activity, including details such as:
Call Notes
Call Duration
Date/Time
Voicemail
Existing or New Customer
Lead Source
And More!
10DLC verification allows your business to send SMS messages to customers using your Engage phone lines. Your company details as well as 10DLC status is housed here.
Phone Line Settings
Once in the phone numbers section, click on a phone number to make adjustments. You can also purchase additional phone numbers by selecting + Purchase Number.
Here, you have the option to give your phone number a name, and assign users to the number. Assigned users can answer incoming and make outgoing calls on this line. They can also listen to voicemails, send/receive text messages, and receive notifications regarding this line.
You can also assign managers to each number. Managers can view all activity on this line, including voicemails. They can view and send text messages, but can not answer or make calls.
Caller ID allows your company to set a phone number or name to appear on your outgoing calls. This way, your customers can see who's calling before they answer. In the Engage webapp, you can create and save your caller ID(s). Please note, the caller ID you choose must be approved by Twilio, the service we use to handle phone communications. This approval process can take anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks
The phone number settings will also allow you to select a custom voicemail greeting, or maintain the default voicemail greeting which can be used across all numbers on your account.
To turn on call routing, navigate to your Engage settings, select Phone Numbers, then navigate to Call Routing. You can then select between three call routing options: Phone Tree, Call Forwarding, and Sequential Call Ring.
Use automatically designated lead sources in Engage to attribute calls to the correct marketing sources, offering insights for optimizing ad spend and improving conversion rates.

(Note: Please remember to inform your callers that their conversations may be recorded when they contact your business. It is your responsibility to ensure transparency regarding call recording.)
