ActivateStaff is an all-in-one staffing platform designed for staffing agencies and recruiters, bringing applicant tracking, candidate management, recruitment workflows, and staffing operations together in a single platform.
The Ringover + ActivateStaff integration helps recruiters save time by automatically linking calls and messages to the right candidate or contact, making every interaction available directly from ActivateStaff and reducing manual data entry.
The Ringover + ActivateStaff integration allows you to:
- Make calls from ActivateStaff using the Ringover Chrome extension (click-to-call).
- Identify an ActivateStaff contact by phone number during incoming and outgoing calls.
- Open the corresponding ActivateStaff record directly from the Ringover Dialer.
- Log incoming, outgoing, and missed calls as activities in ActivateStaff.
- Log SMS and WhatsApp messages and Empower Meet meetings in the relevant contact record.
- Synchronize contacts globally or when they interact with your team.
Enrich call activities with notes, tags, recordings, transcript links and AI-generated summaries.

1. Complete your user mapping
Click + Manage users.
Match each ActivateStaff user with the corresponding Ringover user. When requested, select the Ringover number assigned to that user. This mapping ensures that calls, messages, meetings, and other activities are attributed to the correct team member.
If a user is added, removed, or updated in either platform, review the mapping and save it again. After reconnecting the integration, check the suggested matches before saving.
2. Enable contact search and synchronization
Choose how Ringover searches for and synchronizes your ActivateStaff contacts:
- Global synchronization: Ringover periodically imports new and updated ActivateStaff contacts.
- Call-by-call synchronization: Ringover synchronizes a contact when you call them or when they call you.
- Direct search: Ringover searches ActivateStaff for a contact that matches the phone number so the correct record can be displayed during the interaction.
Select the options that fit your workflow, then save your settings. Contact details available in Ringover depend on the data stored in ActivateStaff and the synchronization mode you enable.
