- Ringing

Atlas identifies customers based on their phone number and creates appropriate records for each call.
SMS tracking

Configuring call behavior
You can customize how Atlas responds to different call outcomes:
- Go to the Dialpad integration settings
- Under "Call behavior", you'll see options for different call states (answered, missed, outbound)
- For each state, choose one of the following actions:
- Create a custom event (default)

This allows you to tailor the integration to your support workflow. For example, you might want missed calls to automatically create new conversations for follow-up.
