SNAPmobile

Installs and uses SNAPmobile — NetSapiens' native softphone for iOS, Android, and the browser — to place and receive calls, check voicemail, and message from a NetSapiens extension without a desk phone.

SNAPmobile is the NetSapiens platform's native softphone, available either as a smartphone app on iOS and Android or as a browser-based WebPhone that can also be installed as a desktop app.

Key features:

  • Native NetSapiens softphone
  • Browser-based WebPhone
  • Single Sign-On (SSO)
  • SMS messaging
  • Call history
  • Voicemail access
  • Answering rules — see Forwarding Rule for Failover for one common use of Answering Rules
  • Device transfer
  • Self-service access through the User Portal
⚠️

CCAC Still Required

SNAPmobile only shows the internal extension a call arrives on — it does not display the calling party's information or the skill the call routed through. The Contact Center Agent Client (CCAC) is still required for full call context, and is the only way to answer a Contact Center call with that context available.

Installing the WebPhone as a Desktop App Requires Chrome

The WebPhone itself runs in any supported browser, but installing it as a standalone desktop app (see below) is a Chrome-specific feature.


Installing on a Smartphone (iOS and Android)

  1. Download and install the SNAPmobile app from the Google Play Store (Android) or the Apple App Store (iOS)
  2. Log in using the following:
FieldDescription
Host/IDFound under the extension's NetSapiens User Profile, by selecting the SNAPmobile button and viewing the Login Info section
Login NameThe extension in extension@company format
PasswordSet after the installation technician's welcome email; recoverable via Forgot Password? on the login page if unknown

iOS Follows the Same Steps

These steps were captured on Android. The iOS app is expected to follow the same installation and login process; if a step diverges on iOS, this page should be updated accordingly.

📘

White-Labeled Apps

Some NetSapiens resellers white-label the platform and publish their own version of this app under a different name on the Google Play Store or Apple App Store, rather than making Host/ID and login details available for the standard SNAPmobile app.

The NetSapiens partner/reseller/vendor responsible for the deployment can be contacted if this information isn't available, providing users with download links and sign-in credentials.

A registered device displays a green arrow icon on the platform.


Installing the WebPhone on Windows

Installing the WebPhone as a standalone desktop app requires Google Chrome.

  1. From Chrome, log in to the account's web portal
  2. Select the Apps dropdown in the top right, then WebPhone — this opens the WebPhone in a new Chrome window, and is also how the WebPhone is reopened later
  3. Expand or maximize the WebPhone window to reveal its full set of options, including Settings in the bottom left
  4. Select Settings, then Install PWA
  5. Select Install on the confirmation prompt

The WebPhone installs and pins to the Windows taskbar. It can also be relaunched by searching SNAPmobile in Windows search.


Using the WebPhone

Making a Call

  • From the Contacts page, selecting the phone icon next to a contact calls them directly
  • From the dial pad icon, dialing a number or extension and selecting the phone icon places the call

  • Save the voicemail
  • Forward the voicemail to another extension
  • View the voicemail and caller information
  • Delete the voicemail

Forgot Login Name or Password

The Forgot Login? and Forgot Password? links on the SNAPmobile login page recover this information when known details are entered. If the requested information isn't available either, the NetSapiens provider responsible for the deployment can help recover it.
