How do I add numbers to the Smart Dialer?
First, make sure that you have Enable Smart Dialer single-click add? option enabled in the extension settings.
Whenever the extension finds numbers on the browsed page, you will have an option to add them all to the Smart Dialer by clicking on Add to Smart Dialer in the extension pop-up.
This will transfer all the numbers, found on the page, to your Smart Dialer queue.
Important notice: It's possible that the extension might not work for every case on every website.
This problem can occur for several different reasons:
Phone numbers are not correctly formatted with an international country code, e.g. the plus sign /+/, country code, area code or some other important part of the number is missing. If the local number (without country code) is detected, then the most recently used country code in CloudTalk Phone will be used to make the call.
Phone numbers are not properly marked in the source code of the website, e.g. there is no proper hyperlink with tel: schema.
