How does Woodpecker Calls work?
The Woodpecker Calls app is directly connected with Woodpecker. That’s why you can’t use it separately.
To see your leads in Woodpecker Calls, you need a mobile slot. A mobile slot is a placeholder for your mobile device – just like an email slot is a placeholder for your email.
1. To set up a campaign with calls, start with logging in to Woodpecker and create a campaign.
2. Choose CALL as a step in your campaign. On the right, you can pick the device you’d like to use for this particular step.
If you have more than one CALL step within a campaign, you can use different phones for each of them.
You can also add several phones to the same CALL step – the task and prospects will appear on all of the devices.

If you set a CALL task in Woodpecker, but don’t connect a phone to your mobile slot, the tasks will be created, but the prospects won’t appear in Woodpecker Calls. You’ll see the tasks only in the web app.
If you disconnect your phone in a campaign or log out while the campaign is running, the campaign will still be running (with new tasks being created), but they won’t appear on said phone.
3. Add follow-up emails or LinkedIn manual tasks to build a more effective sequence.
4. Once you add prospects and start the campaign, the prospects you plan to call will land on a list on your phone.

If you run an agency, you’ll see this:

5. You can reach them straight from the phone – anytime, anywhere.

6. If they pick up, the call goes to voicemail, or they call you back – they’ll be marked as responded in Woodpecker. You can also mark their status as you wish manually – still on the phone.
Keep in mind: even if a prospect picks up, the task’s state will remain the same – TO DO.
7. When a prospect’s status changes to RESPONDED, Woodpecker stops the follow-up sequence after the call.
