Learn How to Correctly Use the CallAction Capture Only Setting

Updated over a week ago

What is the Capture Only Setting

The "Capture Only" setting allows you to turn off all text automation to do basic "call capture". The system will not send out any initial or follow-up text messages if this is set to "ON".  The default Capture Only setting is "OFF".

Where Do I Find Capture Only 

The "Capture Only" setting is found on the call settings page of your CallAction account.

  1. Login to CallAction

  2. Click "Phone Numbers"

  3. Click "Manage" of phone number you want to edit

  4. Scroll down to the "Capture Only" setting

  5. Click to turn "ON / OFF" (Note: default is OFF. Turning on our text tool resets to ON to avoid conflict with the text tool)

  6. Click "Save"

Why Do I Need to Change Capture Only Settings

This setting is used if you need to do basic "call capture" and if applicable, real-time lead intelligence. Some example times you would use capture only.

  • If you route calls to a number that is not text message enabled

  • Streamlining the data entry flow of lead calls to your CRM

  • Capture caller data for remarketing purposes like Facebook Custom Audiences
