It enables click-to-call from tickets, automatic ticket creation from incoming calls, call logging, and recording attachment to ticket records.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Supported Telephony Providers<\/h2>\n<p>Zoho Desk&#8217;s PhoneBridge marketplace includes integrations with Exotel, Twilio, RingCentral, Freshcaller, Knowlarity, and several other VoIP providers. Each provider is configured in Zoho Desk&#8217;s telephony settings after obtaining API credentials from the provider.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Incoming Call Behaviour<\/h2>\n<p>When a customer calls the support number, Zoho Desk identifies the caller by phone number and populates the agent&#8217;s screen with the customer&#8217;s ticket history and CRM account details before the call connects. This eliminates the need to ask for identifying information at the start of every call.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Call Logging and Compliance<\/h2>\n<p>Every call creates or updates a ticket in Zoho Desk with the call duration, agent notes, and recording file attached. For regulated industries in India, such as banking and insurance, this creates a complete, timestamped record of all customer communications for compliance audits.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-example-box\"><strong>Example:<\/strong> A bank&#8217;s contact centre in Pune connects Exotel to Zoho Desk. When a customer calls about a loan query, the agent sees the customer&#8217;s account and open tickets before answering. After the call, the recording and notes are automatically saved to the ticket. The compliance team can retrieve call recordings within seconds.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-related-pills\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/phone-channel-telephony-zoho-desk\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Phone Channel (Telephony)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/desk-crm-integration-zoho-desk\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Desk + CRM Integration<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/zoho-desk-api\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Zoho Desk API<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/ticket-zoho-desk\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Ticket<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-faq-item\"><strong>What is Telephony Integration in Zoho Desk?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Telephony integration connects your phone system to Zoho Desk via PhoneBridge.
