As a Genius Admin, you can add phone numbers for an agent to use as the outbound caller ID within a particular team.  Use our below guide to add numbers to various teams.

Start by selecting the "Teams" icon located on the left-hand navigation bar.  

Then select the team for which you want to add phone numbers to display as the caller ID when making outbound calls. 

Next, select the "Outbound Caller ID" section on the "Settings" tab. 

To add available numbers, click the Edit button located on the top right-hand corner of the Outbound Caller ID homepage.  

The pop-up window will list all numbers in the Available caller IDs section.  

Select which numbers you want members of the chosen team to have available as an outbound caller-ID when making a call.

Using the center arrow, move the number to the "Team Caller IDs" block/section.  Then, click the Apply button to implement your changes.

The outbound caller ID in the Team-> Settings will also now reflect all of the numbers selected and available to any agent that is a member of that team.

Genius Tip: If an agent is a member of more than one team, they will have access to all of the numbers across the multiple teams they are a member of.

The FROM field under Call Activity for any outbound call will display the number used as the outbound caller ID as well as the name of the agent who placed the call.  The Call Details for that particular call will also display the name and specific outbound caller ID used in the 'From' field.

For any internal call made to another agent, the FROM field will remain the extension of the agent placing the call.

Genius Tips

• When making a blind transfer to an external number, the person receiving the call will see the outbound caller ID of the caller who originated the call.
  • For example, Caller 1 calls Agent 2, then Agent 2 initiates a blind transfer between Caller 1 and an external number, the outbound caller ID of Caller 1 will be displayed to the person receiving the call.
• When making a warm transfer to an external number, the person receiving the call will see the outbound caller ID of the agent doing the warm transfer.
  • For example, Caller 1 calls Agent 2, then Agent 2 initiates a warm transfer between Caller 1 and an external number, the outbound caller ID of Agent 2 will be displayed to the person receiving the call.
• Any internal calls from agents to other agents or teams will display the extension of the agent making the call and not the outbound caller ID.
• The outbound caller ID only applies to phone numbers at this time, the outbound caller ID name is not currently supported.

Note: The reliability of the outbound caller ID being displayed on the receiving person's phone can vary depending on the country and carrier of the phone service.
