Getting started#
Odygy is a fully managed cloud PBX, operated in the EU. You don't need to install any on-premise hardware — open an account, point a number at it, configure a call flow, and you can start placing and receiving calls in minutes.
What you'll need
- A business email address to create your admin account.
- At least one phone number — either one you port in, or one you provision from the Odygy catalogue.
- For your team members: the Odygy mobile app (iOS / Android), desktop app (Windows / macOS), or a compatible SIP device.
Account setup#
- Click Get access on Odygy and register with your business email.
- Verify your email address and fill in your company information — legal name, billing address and VAT number (for EU customers).
- Invite colleagues from the Team section of the admin console. Each user receives an invitation email to activate their seat.
- Enable Two-Factor Authentication on every administrator account — see Security best practices.
Phone numbers#
You can add numbers to your account in two ways:
Provision a new number
Under Numbers → Buy, pick a country, area code and number type (local, mobile, toll-free). The number becomes available for routing immediately after checkout.
Port an existing number
Go to Numbers → Port in and upload a Letter of Authorization (LoA) together with the most recent invoice from your current carrier. Port-in timelines depend on the origin country and carrier (typically 5–15 business days in the EU).
Users & directory#
Every person who will place or receive calls needs a user account. Users have an extension (3 to 6 digits), a role, and optionally a direct inbound phone number.
- Administrator — full access to configuration and billing.
- Supervisor — can view analytics, listen to recordings for teams they own, and configure call flows.
- Agent — can place and receive calls, manage their own voicemail and presence.
Shared business contact directory
Contacts imported from a CRM, uploaded from CSV, or added manually appear in every user's app, so everyone sees the same customer record during a call.
Call flows#
A call flow defines what happens when an inbound call reaches one of your numbers. Flows are built visually in the PBX editor using drag-and-drop blocks.
Available blocks
Greeting— play an audio message before further routing.IVR menu— collect a DTMF selection from the caller.Call queue— distribute calls across a group of agents with strategies like round-robin or longest-idle-first.Time schedule— route differently based on business hours, holidays and time zone.Voicemail— record a message when no agent is available.Recording— enable call recording for the current branch.SIP Forwarding/PSTN Forwarding— hand the call over to an external SIP trunk or PSTN number.
Blocks are chained with arrows. You can test a flow by clicking Simulate, which walks through every branch without actually placing a call.
IVR menus#
IVR (Interactive Voice Response) menus let callers self-service by pressing keys on their keypad. A typical IVR:
- Greets the caller with a short audio prompt.
- Waits for DTMF input (1–9 and #).
- Routes each key to a downstream block — usually a call queue or another IVR.
- Plays an "invalid input" message and retries, up to the configured limit, before falling back to a default branch.
Voice prompts
You can upload pre-recorded MP3 / WAV files or use our built-in text-to-speech engine, which supports over 30 languages and multiple voice styles.
Call queues#
Call queues hold callers in line when no agent is immediately available and distribute them according to a strategy:
- Ring all — rings every agent at once; first to pick up wins.
- Round robin — rotates the first-rung agent so load is balanced.
- Longest idle — prioritises the agent who has been available the longest.
- Skills-based — matches the call to the best agent based on tags on the caller and on each agent.
While in queue
Play hold music, announce estimated wait time, let callers press a key to request a callback, or overflow to voicemail or another queue after a threshold.
Voicemail#
Every user and every queue has its own voicemail box. Messages can be:
- Delivered as an email attachment (MP3) to any address of your choice.
- Transcribed automatically using the AI transcription engine.
- Archived to synchronised cloud storage so they remain searchable from any device.
Call recording#
Recording is disabled by default. When you enable it on a call flow, queue or user, all audio on that branch is captured as a single stereo file (caller on one channel, agent on the other), which makes downstream AI analysis more accurate.
Greeting block in your flow that plays a disclosure message before routing to any block that has recording active.Retention
Configure a retention window from 7 days up to 10 years. Recordings can be auto-deleted at the end of the window or moved to cold storage for compliance archives.
AI features#
AI features are applied to recorded calls. You can enable each one independently per team so costs and data exposure stay under control.
- Call summary — a paragraph recap plus a short action-item list.
- Sentiment analysis — an emotional-tone score for caller and agent, over the course of the conversation.
- Talk-to-listen ratio — the share of time each party spent speaking.
- Key topics — a tag cloud of subjects mentioned, useful for pipeline triage.
- Full call transcript — time-coded transcript with speaker labels, exportable as TXT, VTT or JSON.
Mobile & desktop apps#
- iOS and Android — native apps supporting push-notified incoming calls, so your device doesn't need to stay registered in the background.
- Windows and macOS desktop apps with softphone, chat, shared directory and screen-pop integration with your CRM.
- Any SIP-standard device (Yealink, Cisco, Grandstream, Polycom, etc.) can be configured with provisioning credentials from Users → Device.
CRM integrations#
Out-of-the-box integrations are available for Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Zoho and Zendesk. Once connected:
- Contacts and companies are synced into the shared directory.
- Every call is logged back to the matching CRM record with recording and transcript links.
- A click-to-call action becomes available anywhere the contact appears.
- During inbound calls, the matching CRM record is popped in the softphone.
For other systems, build your own integration with the REST API and webhooks.
Billing & plans#
You can switch plans, add capacity, and download invoices from Billing in the admin console. Usage charges (per-minute termination, premium features) are billed monthly in arrears.
- VAT is automatically added for EU customers without a valid VAT ID.
- Invoices are issued in EUR and comply with Romanian e-invoicing standards.
- Pre-paid top-ups are available for fraud-safe usage caps.
Security best practices#
- Turn on 2FA for every administrator and every user who manages recordings.
- Use SSO (SAML 2.0 or OpenID Connect) for larger teams.
- Restrict the IP ranges allowed to register SIP devices under Settings → SIP ACL.
- Set a monthly outbound-spend cap so toll-fraud losses are bounded.
- Rotate API keys periodically and scope them to the least privilege needed.
Getting help#
If something isn't working the way you expect:
- Search this guide or the API Documentation.
- Open a ticket from the Help widget in the admin console — tickets keep full account context so replies are faster.
- Email support@odygy.com for anything non-urgent; 24/7 live support is available on Enterprise plans.
