Overview

Your Textr Team workspace is where your team manages all customer communications. Configuring it correctly from the start ensures everyone has the right access, shares contacts efficiently, and captures call recordings when needed.

This guide covers three core setup areas: understanding roles and permissions, configuring shared contact lists, and setting up call recording preferences. For step-by-step instructions on inviting members, creating teams, or removing members, see the dedicated articles linked below.

Roles and Permissions

Contact List Sharing Settings

Textr Team provides a shared contact list that all team members can access. This is configured under Settings > Team Settings > Contacts List Properties.

When sharing is enabled:

  • All contacts added by any member are visible to everyone in the team
  • Contact details (name, phone, email, company, role, tags) are shared
  • Comments added to contacts are visible to all members
  • Tags created by any member are available to everyone

Learn how to add contacts and assign a tag.

Call Recording Preferences

Call recording helps with training, quality assurance, and dispute resolution. Configure recording settings under Settings > Team Settings > Call Recording.

Enable auto-recording:

Toggle Enable Auto Recording to automatically record calls. Then select which phone numbers should be recorded under Phone Numbers. You can enable recording for specific numbers or all numbers.

Share recordings with the team:

By default, only the person who made or received a call can see its recording. Toggle Share Recordings with Team to make all recordings visible to every member.

Where recordings are stored:

Recordings appear in the call history under # Numbers > Overview > Call History. They can be played back directly in the app.

Frequently Asked Questions

 1. Can I have more than one team? + 

Yes. You can create multiple team workspaces under one account. Use the Switch Teams option in the top-left corner to move between them. Each team has its own numbers, members, and settings.

 2. Can members see each other's messages? + 

Team Members can only see conversations tied to phone numbers assigned to them. Admins can view all conversations across the team. If Share Recordings with Team is enabled, all members can access call recordings regardless of assignment. Shared contacts and SMS templates are visible to everyone.

 3. How to restrict a member's access? + 

To limit what a member can do, control which phone numbers are assigned to them. Unassigned numbers are not accessible to Team Members. You can also remove a member entirely if they no longer need access. See Removing a Team Member.
