Engage users can now place calls on hold effortlessly through both the web and mobile apps. You can manage multiple calls at a time—in any mix of active and on-hold calls—making it easy to handle multiple conversations without missing important opportunities.
Hold Functionality
🔁 Placing a Call on Hold
On both web and mobile, tap the Hold button while on an active call to place it on hold. If hold music is enabled in your Company Settings, the caller will hear it while waiting.
You won’t hear the caller, and they won’t hear you.
While on hold, you can freely move around Engage, send SMS, and accept or make new calls.
🔄 Switching Between Calls
WebApp
When handling multiple calls, they’ll appear at the top of your FieldPulse screen, with each new call added to the right. Click any call to display it in the main call window. Use the Hold button to place a call on hold or tap it again to resume.
Mobile
When managing multiple calls, a Calls on Hold button will appear at the bottom of your mobile screen. Tap it to view all held calls and use the Switch button to swap your active call with one on hold. The current call will be placed on hold automatically.
🚫 Transfers & Limits
Transfers can only be performed on active calls. Held calls must be resumed before they can be transferred.
If you try to take a fourth call, a popup will notify you that you’ve hit the call limit. You’ll need to end one of the existing calls to proceed.
🎵 Custom Hold Music
Customize what callers hear while on hold—whether it’s relaxing music, promotions, or a message about your services.
To set it up:
Go to Engage Settings > Hold Settings
Select from preloaded audio samples
Or, upload your own:
Go to Audio Samples > Add a new voice note
Then return to Hold Settings and select your new audio
✅ Best Practice
While you can place more than three calls on hold, we recommend managing no more than three concurrent calls for optimal performance and call clarity.
