Use the Dialpad Web App

  • Updated

Dialpad is available through Google's Chrome browser, courtesy of our web app. This allows you to place calls and send messages via Dialpad through a single web browser tab (no desktop app required!)

Dialpad's web app is just another easy way our Users can access the platform from any device.

Let's take a look at how the Web App works. 

Open the Web App

To use the web app in Chrome, enter dialpad.com/app and log in using your account credentials.

The standard menu automatically launches, displaying your inbox, contacts, and other fields normally found while using the desktop app.

You can immediately start making calls or sending messages in the Dialpad web app.

Dialpad Progressive Web App (PWA)

Progressive Web Apps are used for a more reliable and fast web experience. PWAs are developed with technologies for taking advantage of web and desktop app features.

Download the Dialpad PWA from https://dialpad.com/app 

  1. Select the Download App icon from your Chrome Toolbar data-renderer-start-pos="103"> 
  2. Click Install

The newly installed PWA will launch the default view of your Inbox and you can start receiving and making calls, similar to the Web Application.

If you're outside the Dialpad web app browser tab, Chrome will display a notification alerting you of any incoming messages or calls.
