Calls can be manually logged on the iPhone app without the calling add-on. Logging calls is essential for keeping track of your communication and progress with leads.
When to manually log a call
Manual call logging is helpful when a call is not automatically tracked in Follow Up Boss. Use it in the following situations:
- You called the lead from a phone other than your mobile phone or your Follow Up Boss number.
- You do not have the Follow Up Boss app or Follow Up Boss Calling, and called a lead from your mobile phone number or another phone number.
- Your team uses call logs to document face-to-face conversations with leads so those interactions align with the Last Communication filter.
- Your team needs to log incoming calls made by leads to an agent’s mobile phone when the team or user does not have Follow Up Boss Calling. Incoming calls to a cell number are not logged automatically and will need to be manually logged
- Outgoing calls made through the Follow Up Boss Mobile app for iPhone and Android will log a call automatically if a user does not have Follow Up Boss Calling.
Manually logged calls are also useful for reporting and Smart Lists because they help track who was contacted and when.

FAQs
This could be due to a number of reasons, including the following:
- Your phone call is longer than 5 seconds (the prompt will not show for calls shorter than 5 seconds).
- When the call has been completed and you return to the app to see the lead's detail page, try waiting a couple of seconds for the prompt to appear.
- Make sure you are using the latest version of our iPhone app.
- Try closing other apps that may be running in the background and consuming system resources.
- Avoid making 3-way phone calls.
- If all else fails, you can either manually add a note for the lead using the app, or manually log the call using the web app.
