Log Calls

Manually log phone calls and get you follows-ups ready

📞 Logging Calls in Boxly

Boxly now lets you manually log phone calls to help track important conversations, even if they happen outside the platform. This is useful for teams without a connected phone system; it ensures every call is recorded and nothing slips through the cracks.

🔹 Who Is This Feature For?

This feature is for users without a connected phone system. Instead of missing call records, you’ll now see a Log Call option inside Boxly

You can now manually log phone calls inside Boxly, and then instantly:

Trigger a follow-up message with Nudges by moving your lead into the next stage.
If you have an automation linked to your Follow-up Stage and move the lead into that stage after you’ve logged the call, the automated sequence will trigger.

Your Nudges will keep encouraging you to trigger actions until you click “skip for now“.

Default outcomes:

  • Interested – Follow Up Required: The lead is interested, but you need to contact them again to move forward.

  • Appointment Scheduled: You booked them in for a consultation or treatment.

  • Not Interested: The lead isn’t moving forward right now.

  • Requested Callback: They want you to call back at a later time.

These outcomes are displayed at the bottom left of a lead’s call log, making it easy to see at a glance where each lead stands after a call.

What Happens After You Log a Call?


info icon
Logged Calls automatically clears leads from your “Things To Do” as you’ve now taken an action on the lead (just like when you send a reply or add a task).

✅ You will be Nudged to plan your follow-up actions.
✅ Logged Calls are stored in the conversation history so your team can see exactly what happened.

Keeping track of your leads actions in List View
Logged calls will now count as an action for First contact made by the team and your Last action columns.

Your logged calls will also have a column displaying each leads number of logged calls.

Follow-Up Nudges


Right after you log a call, Boxly will gently prompt you with:

👉 “What would you like to do next?”

It helps keep leads moving through the pipeline instead of falling through the cracks. That way as soon as someone takes an action (sends a reply, adds a note, or creates a task), a prompt will appear to urge you to take the next action.

Nudges pop-up after you’ve taken the first action, to prompt your next one.
✨ Encouraging your team to take the next best step.

Your nudge options are:

  1. Move the lead to a new stage - you can pick a new stage and confirm

  2. Move the lead to different box - you can pick a new box and confirm

  3. Add a note - the the note pop-up will immediately open

  4. Add a Task - the task pop-up will immediately open

  5. Skip for Now - If you’re not ready to take further action, you can skip the prompt and move on

This helps you keep leads moving instead of leaving them behind.

success icon
Nudges will not go away after you take the first action (unless you clicked Skip for now as your first action), you can close the nudge feature by clicking “Skip for now”.

What’s changed:

  • Before: Nudges would close after the first action you took.

  • Now: Nudges will keep appearing until you click “Skip for now” or switch to another lead.

  • Why: You can now take several actions on a lead; like move to a different stage, create a task, and then click “Skip for now”.

Control it in your settings:
If you prefer the old way (one nudge per lead), you can toggle “Show the prompt only once per lead” in your Personal → Nudges settings.

Viewing Call Logs in Reports

Call activity is now trackable in two places:

  • Team Activity Reports – See a new column showing the number of calls logged per team member

  • Reply Time for Call Logs - Your Reply Time reports will include your team members’ average reply time for logged calls.
