Call Notes is a collaboration tool built into Maqsam’s contact‑center platform. It lets agents and supervisors add written notes to any call they handle, during or after the call.
Every note is stored alongside the call record, containing three pieces of information:
The note text itself.
The person who added the note.
The time the note was created.
Your team can have a thread of comments that everyone can read. Why is this important? This eliminates the need for scattered chat messages and helps maintain a single source of truth for what happened on a call.
The feature can be accessed from two parts of the web app:
Dialer page: Add notes while a call is ongoing or from the call history tab without leaving the call screen.
Calls page: Add notes at any time after the call has ended.
Below are step‑by‑step instructions for both workflows.
Step 1: Open the Calls Tab
From the Maqsam portal, go to Calls. Each row represents a recorded call. The Notes column displays the number of notes already attached to each call.
Step 2: In the Call Notes Column
When no notes exist, the section displays “No notes yet” and an “Add Note” button (see the screenshot below).
Step 3: Add New Notes
Step 4: View Saved Notes
After saving, the note appears immediately in the Call Notes section along with the author’s name and timestamp. Subsequent notes will be appended in chronological order, creating a conversation thread. The call list updates the notes counter, allowing you to see at a glance which calls have existing notes.
✏️ Note: You can repeat the process to add multiple comments. Notes are visible to all users with access to the call, enabling managers and teammates to collaborate and leave guidance for future follow‑ups.
Step 1: Start or Answer a Call
Navigate to the Dialer page and place an outbound call or answer an incoming one. While the call is active, the dialer shows call status, a dial pad, and action icons.
Step 2: Click the Note Icon
Among the action icons below the dial pad, you’ll find an icon that looks like a tag/sticky note. Selecting this icon opens the Add Note drawer at the bottom of the screen (see the following image).
Step 3: Enter Your Note
In the Add Note drawer, type your note in the text box. You can write up to 500 characters and can include details of what was discussed, follow‑up actions, or any other contextual information. When finished, click Save.
Step 4: Confirm the Note is Saved
After saving, the drawer briefly displays a confirmation message such as “Note saved successfully.” The drawer can then be closed. All notes added during the call will be available later on the Calls page, grouped under the Call Notes section of that specific call record.
In the Dialer History tab, when you click the notes icon next to a call log, it opens the note-taking form, where you can add notes to the selected call.
Multiple Notes:
You can add as many notes as needed. Each entry is timestamped and labeled with the author’s name, allowing you to follow the conversation thread.
Edit History:
Notes cannot be edited once saved. If you need to clarify or update information, add a new note to maintain the audit trail.
Visibility:
Call notes are visible to all users who can view the call record. Use them to convey context to colleagues, brief supervisors, or document agreed-upon actions.
Character Limit:
Each note allows up to 500 characters; a character counter in the bottom right corner of the note box helps you track how much space is left.
