If you have the AI voice assistant configured (Growth/Pro plans), the chat widget can show a phone icon next to the chat input. Tapping it starts a browser-based voice call to the AI — visitor uses their computer/phone microphone, hears the AI through their speakers, no phone number involved. This is useful for visitors who want a real conversation but don’t want to call your business number — the “click to talk” experience that converts website browsers into booked jobs.Documentation Index

Requirements
- Plan: Growth or Pro (the voice AI assistant must be enabled)
- Voice assistant configured: see Voice AI assistant
- Microphone access: visitors will be prompted by their browser to allow mic; if they decline, the button gracefully degrades to text chat
How visitors use it
When a visitor opens the chat widget on your site, they see two interaction options: type a message, or tap the phone icon to start a voice call. Tapping:- Browser prompts for microphone access (one-time per origin).
- Connection initializes — usually under 2 seconds.
- The AI greets the visitor with the same greeting it uses on phone calls.
- They can talk naturally; the AI responds in real time.
- Either side can end the call.
Enable / disable
The web call button shows automatically when:- You’re on Growth or Pro
- The Voice AI assistant is configured
- The voice safety cap hasn’t been hit for the period
Costs and minutes
Web calls count against the same monthly voice minutes allowance as phone calls. There’s no extra per-call fee on top of voice minutes — the only cost is the minutes the call uses.When this is most useful
- Visitors who hate calling. Younger demos especially — Gen Z and millennial customers often prefer voice over typing once they’ve seen the option, but won’t pick up a phone first.
- Mobile visitors. Easier to tap a phone icon than to copy a number, switch to the dialer app, and call.
- Out-of-area visitors. Visitors browsing your site from another country can’t easily call your local number; web call works regardless of geography.
Privacy
Visitors are anonymous unless they share a name during the call. The contact appears in your CRM as a “Web call” with whatever they introduced themselves as. If they book an appointment, the booking flow captures phone/email and a real contact is created.Browser support
Works on every modern desktop and mobile browser — Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox, plus iOS/Android Safari and Chrome. Some corporate networks block WebRTC; those visitors fall back to text chat automatically.Next
