Dial our number

In your platform, add InboundX as a target that sends calls to this phone number. Every call you send to it reaches us; there's no ping.

Our phone number

BUYER_PHONE_NUMBER

This one is a sample. Copy yours from your setup message or the portal's Setup page.

Not confirmed for your platform. Where your platform adds a target that dials a phone number isn't confirmed. Confirm with your platform where a target's number goes.

Keep the caller's own number

This is our requirement: the call must reach our number with the caller's own number as the caller ID. We tell calls apart by that number, so your own number, or a hidden one, won't work.

Not confirmed for your platform. Where your platform sets the caller ID on a call to a number isn't confirmed. Confirm with your platform that it passes the caller's own number through.

Don't convert on call length

This campaign pays when the call qualifies, not after a number of seconds. Turn off any duration conversion on the target that dials our number. The postback in the next step tells your platform which calls paid.

Not confirmed for your platform. How your platform turns off a duration conversion isn't confirmed. Confirm with your platform that only the postback marks a call as paid.

Tell your platform which calls paid

This is our requirement: when a call pays, we call your platform's conversion URL with these tokens filled in, so it learns which calls paid.

Your call ID

{CALL_ID}

What the call earned, in US dollars

{PAYOUT}

The caller's number

{PHONE}

It should end up like this

https://your-platform.example/conversion?call={CALL_ID}&phone={PHONE}&payout={PAYOUT}

Required: it's the only way your platform learns which calls paid.

Not confirmed for your platform. Where your platform takes a conversion URL isn't confirmed. Confirm with your platform where to enter it and which of its tokens fill these in.

Test my setup

A number has no ping to test. Make one real test call:

Tell your buyer when you're ready, so they can watch the first call arrive.
Send one real call through your platform to our number.
Check the call in your portal's call log. When it pays, check the conversion reached your platform.
