A website callback button, also known as a “call back” or “request a call” button, is a feature on your website that lets visitors ask for a call from your team. It gives users a quick way to leave their contact details and request a call, typically for sales or support.
How the Website Callback Button works
- Your customer or potential lead visits your website.
- They click the callback button and submit their name, phone number, and other details.
- The callback request is instantly sent to your CallHippo dialer.
- You can view and manage all callback requests from your dialer anytime.
- Call the customer back at your convenience based on your internal processes or availability.
Note: You cannot check the callback requests from the CallHippo dashboard. You can only see them in the CallHippo dialer.
