Keep the Close Smart View. Choose the calling layer.
Close already has capable Power and Predictive Dialers. Trellus is an alternative for teams that want its power or parallel calling and coaching while keeping a Smart View, Lead, Contact, Call Activity, Outcome, and callback around the work.
Where Trellus works in Close
Watch Trellus call a Close Smart View
The walkthrough shows where Trellus enters the Close call block. Bring the team’s own Smart View, Outcomes, permissions, and callback behavior into the first call block.
Trellus walkthrough. It demonstrates the workflow, not universal support for every private Smart View or Outcome configuration.
The Close surfaces Trellus uses
The audience, selected Contact, and active call all need Close context.
Keep the saved Lead filter, sharing, sort, and paging context that defines the worklist.
Use Contact-focused saved filters where the current query and record context resolve.
Resolve a specific Contact, Lead, company, title, and phone choice for a one-off call.
When Close places the call, the active Call Activity and dialed number are stronger evidence than an unrelated Lead page in the background.
The Smart View remains the audience
Open the Smart View
Use the Lead or Contact filter, sharing, and sort the team already maintains in Close.
Review the Contact and number
Keep the resolved Contact, Lead, title, company, and available phone values with the call.
Choose the calling layer
Use Close's native dialers when they fit, or Trellus power or parallel calling when the team wants the Trellus workflow.
Return the result to Close
Create the Call Activity, apply a matching active Outcome, and create a callback Task when needed.
Close already solves calling
Close's Power Dialer works through a Smart View, and its Predictive Dialer can dial multiple numbers and route an answer to a rep. For many Close teams, that is the right choice. Trellus matters when the buyer specifically wants the Trellus calling and coaching experience without abandoning the Close audience.
Choose Close's dialers when
- You want the native Close calling and administration experience
- Close's Power or Predictive workflow already fits the team
- Keeping the calling stack entirely in Close is the deciding requirement
Consider Trellus when
- The Smart View should stay the audience
- The team wants Trellus power or parallel calling
- Trellus coaching and the Close write-back fit the operating model
A Smart View is not a static export
Records can enter or leave as ownership, activity, status, Tasks, and other fields change. Trellus keeps the saved-view and paging context, and can surface newly top records without restarting from a stale spreadsheet.
Jordan opens “Renewals — local time open.” A new Lead becomes during the block; another leaves after a callback Task changes its follow-up state. The queue stays tied to the Smart View rather than the initial screen.
Keep Call Activity and Outcome state separate
Keep every result specific: the Close Call Activity, active Outcome, and callback Task each stay connected to the right record.
Return follow-up as a Close Task
With the required Lead, current Close user, due time, authenticated session, and record access, Trellus can create a Lead-linked Trellus Callback Task and later surface it as dialable work.

Can Trellus dial a Close Smart View?
Yes, on Lead or Contact Smart Views. The saved query, sort, sharing, paging, and dynamic membership should be on the view the team plans to use.

Trellus can create a Close Call Activity with the Contact, Lead, number, duration, note or summary, dial mode, and transcript link, then attempt to apply a matching active Call Outcome.
Can Trellus create callbacks in Close?
