The active call form appears during inbound and outbound calls in Bitrix24. In the web version, it opens as a call window in your browser or Bitrix24 Messenger. In the mobile app, it appears as a dedicated call screen.
Use the active call form to manage calls and work with CRM records during a conversation.
Active call form features
During an inbound call, the call window shows the caller’s and recipient’s phone numbers. If you cannot answer the call, click Ignore to send it to the queue.
During an outbound call, the window only shows the client’s phone number.
If you connected a SIP phone, Bitrix24 routes outbound calls through that device by default. To switch the call to the browser, click the blue phone icon.

If you use a REST application, the call window only includes the Close button. You cannot make calls from the browser, Bitrix24 Messenger, or the mobile app. Use a separate softphone app or SIP phone instead.

You can also select create a new lead automatically. In this case, Bitrix24 automatically creates a new lead with the client’s phone number.
When you call an existing client, the related CRM record appears in the call window. Before the call ends, click Deal or Invoice to create a new deal or invoice. Bitrix24 opens a new browser tab where you can create the record.
If you use Simple CRM mode (without leads) and enable automatically create a new lead, Bitrix24 creates a new deal and contact instead.
You can also create a new deal or invoice directly from the call window.

- Tap Open CRM.
