Hello everyone,

In my Android phone, I have set up the preference "Caller ID from incoming Calls" in my Pipedrive App,  to receive contact info from incoming calls.

When I receive an incoming phone call on my Android (OnePlus Nord), if my phone is unlocked I get that contact info.

However, if my phone is locked, I do not get any pipedrive info. This is very annoying because usually when I get an incoming call, my phone is locked; so the feature of Caller ID from incoming calls is kind of useless.

Just to be safe, I have removed the battery control from Android, so the app should not be getting killed in the background. 

Questions:

  • Am I doing something wrong?
  • Are there any workarounds? Like using another system (I'd rather avoid a VoIP system)?
  • Would this work on iPhone?

Kind regards,

Inaki Crespo

    Hi! 

    Please reach out to our support team via in-app chat or email support@pipedrive.com to check this and understand what is going on. As to iPhone, then Caller ID on iOS devices will only work for numbers with country codes. iOS platform restrictions only give the ability to show the Pipedrive contact name on an incoming call.
