CallSpark setup guide

Learn how to set up and use CallSpark within TradeVulcan to recover missed and unconverted calls via intelligent routing and SMS follow-ups.

Overview

CallSpark is a powerful lead capture app within TradeVulcan designed to help home-service operators route, classify, and recover missed or unconverted phone opportunities. It forwards calls from your existing CRM, CallRail, carrier, or public numbers to a dedicated TradeVulcan number. CallSpark then bridges the call to the final answering destination, intelligently detects call outcomes like missed, abandoned, voicemail, or answered-but-unbooked calls, and initiates SMS recovery messages that route directly into the Unified Leads Center.

Setup Prerequisites

  • A TradeVulcan voice/SMS number dedicated to CallSpark.
  • The final answering destination phone number where calls will be forwarded or bridged.
  • Approved call recording and SMS recovery message settings to comply with local regulations.

Step-by-step Setup

  1. Choose a TradeVulcan number: Within TradeVulcan, select or purchase a voice-enabled number that CallSpark will use as the routing point.
  2. Set your final call destination: Enter the phone number where answered calls should be forwarded. This could be your office line or a technician's mobile.
  3. Configure call recording: Enable call recording as required, and ensure your messaging complies with local privacy laws.
  4. Approve SMS recovery messages: Customize or approve the SMS texts used to reach out to missed or abandoned calls for recovery.
  5. Forward numbers to CallSpark: From your CRM, CallRail, or phone carrier, configure forwarding of your public or CRM-associated numbers to the TradeVulcan number assigned to CallSpark.
  6. Integrate with compatible connectors: If using ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, or a Generic CRM, follow the connector instructions to enable seamless lead and call data sync.

Key Features

  • Missed Call Recovery: Automatically detects missed and abandoned calls and sends outcome-aware SMS recovery texts.
  • Intelligent Routing: Bridges calls to the final answering destination while tracking call results.
  • Leads Center Integration: Routes recovered leads and follow-up replies into the TradeVulcan Unified Leads Center for efficient management.
  • Call Classification: Distinguishes different call outcomes such as voicemail, no answer, or answered but unbooked.

Verification

Once setup is complete, verify your CallSpark configuration by:

  1. Making test calls to the forwarded number and confirming the call is bridged to the answering destination.
  2. Allowing test calls to go unanswered or leaving a voicemail to trigger SMS recovery messages.
  3. Checking the Unified Leads Center to ensure calls and SMS replies appear correctly with proper classification.

Troubleshooting

  • No call forwarding: Double check that your CRM or carrier forwarding rules correctly point to the assigned TradeVulcan number.
  • SMS recovery not sent: Verify SMS settings and approval status in CallSpark. Confirm the recipient phone supports SMS.
  • Leads not appearing in Leads Center: Confirm integration permissions and connector setup with ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, or your CRM.
  • Call recordings missing: Revisit call recording settings and legal compliance options.
