Article Summary

Need to manage large volumes of incoming calls? Dialpad's Call Park feature allows Agents to handle calls as a team by moving incoming calls to a "parking lot" where teammates can then pick up the calls from another extension. 

Let's take a look at how parking a call works.

Who Can Use This Feature

Call parking is available to customers on the Pro and Enterprise plans, but you must reach out to our Support Team to enable it.

An Office can park up to 50 calls at a time on their Main Line. 

Park a Call

To park a call:

  1. Select More 
  2. Select Park call to main line 

Dialpad will park the call and place it in the Parked section of the Main Line's inbox, ready for another team member to take over.

Unpark a Call 

To unpark a call from the Dialpad app, navigate to the Parked section of your Shared Line inbox.

Here you'll see the caller's name, or Caller ID, as well as who parked the call and at what time.

Select Take call to join the call and connect with the caller.
