NextivaONE - Click to Dial

Article 000001999 · Updated Jun 18, 2025 · 5,489 views

With NextivaONE, you can click a phone number in a browser and have the desktop application initiate an outbound call to that number.  This feature only calls through the NextivaONE desktop app and is not compatible with the web-based browser version of the app or the Push Call to another device feature.

 

Requirements

  • TEL protocol is used on the number.
     
    • Currently, the NextivaONE app does not support CALLTO protocol.
       
  • The web browser being used does not block pop-ups.
