Connecting a phone integration lets you send and receive SMS messages, view call history, log calls manually, and listen to call recordings — all from within Slant. Slant supports three phone providers:
  • MyRepChat — connects with API keys
  • RingCentral — connects with your RingCentral account
  • CurrentClient — connects with your CurrentClient account
Once connected, SMS messages and call logs sync automatically to the Phone tab on your clients, prospects, other contacts, and businesses.

Connect a phone integration

All phone integrations are managed from SettingsPhone and SMS.

MyRepChat

1

Open phone settings

Go to SettingsPhone and SMS.
2

Click **Connect MyRepChat**

Enter your API keys

Enter your Public key and Secret key from your MyRepChat account, then click Save.
Your MyRepChat phone number appears on the integration card once the initial sync completes.

RingCentral

Open phone settings

Go to SettingsPhone and SMS.
2

Click **Connect RingCentral**

3

Authorize Slant

Sign in to your RingCentral account and grant Slant permission. You’ll be redirected back to Slant when the connection is complete.
After connecting, you can optionally set a forwarding number — your personal phone number that RingCentral calls first before connecting to the client. Click the gear icon on your RingCentral card to configure this. If no forwarding number is set, clicking Call on a record opens your phone dialer instead.

CurrentClient

1

Open phone settings

Go to SettingsPhone and SMS.

Both CurrentClient and MyRepChat support multiple accounts. To add another account, click Add account on the provider’s card.

What gets synced

Slant begins syncing immediately after you connect. The initial sync pulls in your full SMS and call history — up to 7 years for RingCentral and CurrentClient, and all available history for MyRepChat. The initial sync may take some time depending on the volume of messages and calls. After the initial sync, new messages and calls sync automatically.

The Phone tab

The Phone tab displays a unified conversation view of SMS messages and calls for a specific record. It’s available on clients, prospects, other contacts, and businesses. Messages and calls appear in chronological order. Incoming messages appear on the left, outgoing messages on the right. Calls appear as cards showing the phone number, direction, status, timestamp, and duration.

Filter the conversation

If multiple integrations or phone numbers are available, use the selectors at the top of the Phone tab to filter the conversation:
  • Phone account — switch between connected integrations (only shown if you have more than one)
  • Sending from — choose which of your phone numbers to send from (only shown if the integration has multiple numbers)
  • Recipient — filter by a specific phone number on the record

Send an SMS

1

Open the Phone tab

Go to a client, prospect, other contact, or business and click the Phone tab.
2

Select a recipient

Use the Recipient selector to choose the phone number you want to message.
3

Type your message

Type your message in the compose area at the bottom of the tab. Messages can be up to 1,000 characters.
4

Send

Press Enter to send, or click the send button. Use Shift+Enter to add a new line without sending.
The compose area shows which number you’re sending from and how many characters remain (when over 900 characters). The first time you send a message to a phone number, Slant asks you to confirm that you have consent to send SMS messages to that number. Click Confirm and send to proceed. This confirmation is only required once per phone number per book.

Opt-out handling

If a recipient replies with STOP, END, QUIT, CANCEL, or UNSUBSCRIBE, Slant automatically marks that phone number as opted out and prevents further messages. If they reply with START, the number is resubscribed.

Log a call

You can manually log calls that happened outside of your phone integration.
1

Open the log call form

On the Phone tab, click + Log call in the top-right corner.
2

Fill in the call details

Select a Phone number, Direction (outgoing or incoming), Status (completed, missed, failed, or voicemail), Date, and Time.
3

Add optional details

Enter the call duration in Minutes, add a Note, or click Add recording to attach an audio or video file.
4

Save the call

Click Log call. The call appears in the conversation timeline.
If your book has multiple users, a User field appears so you can attribute the call to the correct team member.
Only manually logged calls can be deleted. Calls synced from an integration cannot be removed.

Call recordings and transcripts

When a call has a recording, a Recording badge appears on the call card. Click the card to open the recording. The recording view includes:
  • Audio player — play, pause, and scrub through the recording
  • Transcript — a searchable, timestamped transcript of the call. Click any line to jump to that point in the recording. The current line is highlighted as the audio plays.
  • Search — type in the search field to filter transcript entries by keyword

Convert a recording to a meeting

If a recording has a completed transcript, you can convert it into a meeting to generate a summary and action items.
1

Open the recording

Click a call card that has a Recording badge.
2

Convert

Click Convert to meeting. Slant creates a meeting, syncs the transcript, and generates a summary.
Once the meeting is created, the call card shows View meeting instead of View transcript.

Manage integrations

Disconnect an integration

On SettingsPhone and SMS, click Disconnect on the integration you want to remove. SMS and call history is archived and remains viewable on the Phone tab, but no new messages or calls sync. If you visit the Phone tab while viewing archived activity from a disconnected integration, a banner indicates the integration is disconnected with a link to reconnect.

Reconnect an integration

To reconnect a disconnected integration, click Reconnect on the integration card. For RingCentral and CurrentClient, this re-opens the authorization flow. For MyRepChat, this opens the API key form.

Delete integration history

To permanently remove a disconnected integration and all its call and SMS history, click Delete history on the disconnected integration card.
Deleting an integration permanently removes all associated call logs and SMS messages. This cannot be undone.

FAQ
