Base-App Enhancements
Field Name Change

Sales Engagement Platform to Integrate
In Base App, during Org creation, you can integrate other Sales Engagement Platforms with Koncert to import and dial prospects from them. The dropdown includes Outreach and Salesloft.
As part of the Spring Release, a new option 'None' has been added to the dropdown 'Sales Engagement Platform you would like to integrate with' and has been made as default option to appear during Org creation.
AI Dialers Enhancements
Removal of 'Take Call Control' feature
In AI Flow Dialer, the Take Call Control button overrides the artificial intelligence technology and allows you to perform the actions manually instead.
In response to requests from Customers, we removed the Take Call Control feature from the AI Flow Dialer. Due to the removal of the Take Call Control feature the following changes have been made in the Koncert portal:
The checkbox option 'Auto Open Call Disposition popup for each call' under the Settings » General tab » AI Flow Dialer section has been enabled and grayed out by default.
The Call Disposition window will popup once the call is initiated and the disposition will be auto-selected once the call with your prospect has ended.
Call Disposition – Inclusion of DNC icons
In the Call Disposition window (next to the prospect name), the following DNC icons have been added; this prevents calls from being initiated to the prospect when selected.
- Do not call
– To mark the next prospect in the queue as Do Not Call so they are not dialed.
- Do not call until
– To mark the next prospect in the queue as Do Not Call until; no calls will be initiated to that prospect until the date selected.
NOTE: The above icons will appear gray and will become active when applied to the current prospect, as shown below.
My Session
Test Audio
The Test Audio feature is used to test your microphone audio when dialing into the Koncert Phone Bridge using your computer audio (browser-based audio). All Dialers and Cadence have this feature enabled.
As part of this enhancement, a new Mic icon has been introduced in the following screens of Dialers & Cadence:
- My Session » Phone Status Bar
- Cadence » Prospects » Prospect View window » Click Dialer
Upon clicking the Mic icon , the Test your Microphone window will appear allowing you to test your microphone.
A sound bar below indicates that your microphone is functioning when you talk into the mic. If not, you need to check the connection or replace your hardware.
Please refer to the article How do I test my microphone audio? for detailed information.
My Lists
Follow up Lists – Renamed based on Integration
On the My Lists tab, there are two system generated Follow up lists that store the following records:
- Records dialed through any of the Dialers and scheduled for follow up calls
- Open call tasks from the CRM integrated (both overdue and upcoming)
- Followup call tasks from Cadence (both manual and dialed through Click Dialer)
You can select and upload the records in this list to the My Session tab for dialing.
The names of the system generated Follow up Lists will be automatically changed based on your CRM integration. For example:
