Star a call
Keep important conversations at your fingertips
Not every call is equal. A hot lead, an urgent service request, a conversation that needs follow-up — these calls matter more than a routine inquiry. But in a long call list, they all look the same.
Star a call changes that. Tap the star icon next to any call and it immediately stands out — for you and your colleagues. Filter your call list to show only starred conversations, and nothing slips through the cracks.
- Star any call with one click
- Filter to show only starred calls
- Visible to your whole team
- Works with all call types
Benefits of Star a call
See how starring calls helps your team stay organized and act faster.
Mark important calls
Highlight key calls that require attention. Star calls that need action, follow-up, or special attention so they never get overlooked.
Find priority calls fast
Filter your call list to show only starred conversations. No more scrolling through hundreds of calls to find the one that matters.
Team sharing
Starred calls are visible to colleagues, keeping everyone aligned. When you star a call, your team sees it too — no need to send separate messages about which calls need attention.
Act faster on key calls
Faster follow-ups for leads, support requests, and important moments. Spend less time searching and more time responding to clients.
Stay focused, stay organized
Turn long call lists into a clear priority view with starred calls front and center. Focus on what needs action, not what has already been handled.
See it in action
A call comes in and you recognize it as important. Star it instantly from your dashboard. The starred call stays visible and filterable, so you or your team can act on it later without searching through long lists.

Real-world use cases
Star a call is used across teams wherever calls need prioritization and follow-up.
Customer support
Star urgent customer issues that need follow-up or escalation. When a call requires a callback or a supervisor review, starring keeps it visible until it is resolved.
Sales teams
Highlight hot leads or promising conversations for faster follow-ups. A starred call signals to the team that this prospect needs attention before the opportunity goes cold.
Operations & logistics
Mark calls related to delivery issues, incidents, or time-sensitive updates. When a driver calls about a problem, starring the call ensures the operations team follows up.
Account & billing
Star payment-related or contract-related calls for quick reference. When a customer disputes an invoice or requests a change, the star keeps it on the team's radar.
How Star a call works
In your call overview, every call has a star icon next to it. Click the star and the call is marked. Click it again to remove it. That is all there is to it — no setup, no configuration, no learning curve.
Once a call is starred, you can filter your entire call list to show only starred conversations. This turns a long history of hundreds of calls into a short, actionable list of the calls that matter right now.
Team visibility
Starred calls are visible to everyone on your team who has access to the call overview. When you star a call, your colleagues see it too. This eliminates the need to send separate messages, emails, or notes about which calls need follow-up.
For sales teams, this means a starred call signals “this lead needs attention.” For support teams, it means “this issue is not resolved yet.” The star becomes a shared language for call prioritization across your organization.
Combine with call notes and recordings
Starring a call is even more powerful when combined with call notes and call recording. Star the call to mark it as important, add a note explaining why, and listen back to the recording before following up. Together, these features give you everything you need to handle important calls efficiently.
You can also use call insights to review starred calls alongside caller data — giving your team the full picture before picking up the phone to call back.
No impact on call handling
Starring a call is purely organizational. It does not change how calls are routed, recorded, or handled. The star is a visual marker that helps you and your team prioritize — nothing more, nothing less.
This means you can star freely without worrying about affecting your call flow or triggering any changes to your routing configuration.
