The Conversations tab in Playground CRM provides a centralized view of all communication with leads. From here, you can review phone calls and text messages that were sent or received, track outreach activity, and understand how and when leads have been contacted.
This tab is especially useful for following up with leads, reviewing past interactions, and confirming whether calls or messages were successfully delivered. The Conversations tab includes two views: Calls and SMS. Each view displays different details based on the type of communication.
Calls
The Calls tab displays a detailed log of all phone calls made or received through Playground CRM. This includes both inbound and outbound calls placed using your program’s main line. Each row represents a single call and provides visibility into who was contacted, how the call was handled, and when it occurred. You can download call data directly from this tab.
Call columns and what they show
The Calls table includes the following columns:
• Lead
The name of the lead associated with the phone number. If the number is linked to an existing lead, their name will appear here.
• Direction
Indicates whether the call was inbound or outbound. Inbound calls are calls received from a lead. Outbound calls are calls placed by your team.
• Status
Shows the outcome of the call. Possible statuses include Answered, No answer, Busy, Left voicemail, and Failed.
• Duration
Displays the length of the call when applicable. Calls that were not answered will not show a duration.
