Product / Inbox

Every call, read before you call back

The moment a call ends it is in your inbox: a one-line summary, the transcript, the recording, and chips for Urgent, Appointment and how the caller felt. Search it, set a reminder, leave a note for your team, and get the same summary by text, email, push, Telegram, WhatsApp or Slack. On your phone, your tablet and your desktop.

The call before the callback

A voicemail is something to listen to. An Elllo call is something to read: the summary tells you who called and why, the chips tell you whether it is urgent or a booking, and the sentiment tells you how it went. The Details tab, on Growth and up, lists everything the agent learned: the caller's details, the urgency, the intent, the time frame.

The problem

Voicemail is a to-do list you have to listen to

Most callers never leave one, the ones who do wait for a callback that takes days, and nothing in a voicemail tells you which call to return first. The numbers below are the measured ones.

Consumers say what they do after an unanswered call, and the lead-response studies show how long businesses take to get back and how fast the odds fall.

How Elllo helps

Built for the callback, not the archive

Every call is stored in full. The inbox is about what you do with it next: who to call first, what to say, who else needs to see it, and where it should go.

Follow up from the call itself

Set a reminder and the call comes back to the top of your list on the day you chose. Leave a note that your team sees under the call. Leave a reply, and the agent reads it to that caller the next time they call, once. Give a caller who left no name a name of your own. Copy a link that opens the call for a teammate. Select a batch by tapping their avatars and archive, move or delete them in one go; deleting a call removes its recording too.

Reaches your team, and your CRM

Each summary goes out by email with the full transcript, by text, by push, in Telegram or WhatsApp, or into your team's Slack channel, with a link that opens the call. On Small business and up, add as many view-only users as you need and they get the same notifications; every line of your business sits in one shared inbox, switchable in place. Connect HubSpot or Clio and every call is logged on the right contact with its summary; webhooks send every finished call to your own server, Zapier, Make or n8n.

The inbox, by plan

Every plan stores every call in full. The plans differ in how many summaries a month, how long the calls stay, and who else can see them.

Search, categories, sentiment, reminders, notes, bulk actions and every notification channel but Slack come with every plan. The agent keeps answering after a plan's monthly allowance; those calls stay in the inbox and unlock when you move up. Transcripts and recordings are kept for the plan's window, counted back from the first of the month.

Starter

20 summaries a month; calls kept 30 days

Growth

200 summaries a month; calls kept 90 days; the Details tab; replies

Small business

Unlimited summaries, kept forever; view-only users, the shared inbox, Slack, HubSpot, Clio, webhooks

Ultimate

Everything above for three phone lines in one inbox

Every plan

Search, categories, sentiment, reminders, notes, email, text, push, Telegram

WhatsApp summaries are enabled on request on Small business and Ultimate.

Questions people ask

01

Is there an app?

The Elllo web app installs on your iPhone or Android home screen and runs full screen with push notifications; on a desktop it is the same inbox in a browser tab. Native apps for the App Store and Google Play are on the way.

02

How long are my calls kept?

30 days on Starter, 90 days on Growth, and for as long as you have the account on Small business and Ultimate, counted back from the first of the month. You can delete any call, with its recording, at any time.

03

Can my team see the calls?

On Small business and Ultimate, yes: add as many view-only users as you need. They see the calls, get the same email, text, push and Telegram notifications, and can leave notes; they cannot change the agent. Every line of your business sits in one shared inbox.

04

Can I answer a caller from the inbox?

You can leave a reply for one caller, and your agent reads it to them the next time they call, once. Growth and up. Calling them back is a tap on the call; their number is right there.

05

What happens to spam?

Scam, spam and voice-harvesting calls are recognised and archived automatically, and so are calls where nobody left a message. Only real calls reach the inbox and trigger a notification.

06

Does it work with my CRM?

HubSpot and Clio Manage connect from your Account page on Small business and Ultimate; every call is logged on the matching contact with its summary and a link. For anything else, webhooks send every finished call to your own server, Zapier, Make or n8n.

07

Is my callers' data safe?

Caller details, transcripts, names and numbers are encrypted at rest with keys that are yours alone, and deleting your account destroys them. Sign-in is a one-time code, never a password.

Every call, read before you call back. 14 days free, no credit card.
