  • ☐ CRM admin permissions (Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho, or equivalent)
  • ☐ Call recording enabled on your FreJun workspace

Technical Prerequisites

  • ☐ FreJun web app accessible via modern browser (Chrome 110+, Firefox 110+, Edge 110+)
  • ☐ Stable internet connection (minimum 5 Mbps recommended)
  • ☐ API access enabled if using custom CRM integration

🔐 Admin Access Required: Enabling AI Insights and configuring CRM sync requires FreJun admin permissions. Standard users can view summaries but cannot toggle AI features or modify integration settings.

Before You Begin: Key Concepts

AI Call Summary

An AI call summary is an automatically generated, structured recap of a sales call. FreJun’s AI engine processes the call recording in real time, extracting key discussion points, action items, objections raised, and agreed next steps — without any manual input from the rep.

AI Insights

AI Insights is FreJun’s umbrella feature set covering call transcription, automated summaries, sentiment analysis, keyword detection, and outcome tagging. It must be explicitly enabled by an admin before summaries appear in call logs.

CRM Auto-Logging

CRM auto-logging means every completed call automatically creates or updates a record in your connected CRM — including the summary, transcript link, call duration, outcome tag, and rep notes — without the rep touching the CRM manually.

Bidirectional Sync

Bidirectional sync means data flows both ways: FreJun pulls contact data from your CRM before the call, and pushes call activity data back to the CRM after the call. This is distinct from one-way logging, which only writes outbound data.

💡 Common Misconception: Many users expect AI summaries to appear automatically after their first call. AI Insights must be manually enabled by an admin in account settings before summaries generate. Calls recorded before enabling AI Insights will not have retroactive summaries.

How to Set Up AI Call Summary Software: Step-by-Step

Phase 1: Enable AI Insights (~5 min)

Step 1: Access Account Settings

You need admin privileges to complete this phase. Log in to your FreJun account before proceeding.

  1. Log in to your FreJun dashboard at app.frejun.com
  2. Click your profile icon in the top-right corner
  3. Select Settings from the dropdown menu
  4. Navigate to AI Insights in the left sidebar

✅ Verification: The AI Insights settings panel loads with toggle switches for Transcription, Summaries, and Sentiment Analysis.

🔐 Admin Only: If you don’t see AI Insights in your sidebar, your account role is set to standard user. Contact your FreJun admin to grant permissions or enable the feature on your behalf.

Step 2: Enable AI Insights Features

  1. Toggle Call Transcription to ON (this is required for summaries to generate)
  2. Toggle AI Call Summaries to ON
  3. Optionally enable Sentiment Analysis and Keyword Detection for deeper insights
  4. Click Save Settings at the bottom of the panel

✅ Verification: A green confirmation banner reads “AI Insights settings saved successfully.” All enabled toggles display green.

⚠️ Plan Note: AI Insights is available on Pro plan and above. If toggles are greyed out, your workspace is on the Starter plan. Upgrade your plan here.

💡 Pro Tip: Enable Keyword Detection alongside summaries. FreJun flags competitor mentions, pricing objections, and buying signals automatically — giving managers instant coaching triggers without listening to full recordings.

Step 3: Refresh Your Dashboard

This step is undocumented in official guides but confirmed by community users as necessary.

  1. Press Ctrl + Shift + R (Windows) or Cmd + Shift + R (Mac) to hard refresh your browser
  2. Alternatively, log out and log back in to your FreJun account
  3. Navigate back to your main dashboard

✅ Verification: The dashboard loads with an AI Insights badge visible in the top navigation bar, confirming the feature is active for your workspace.

✅ Phase 1 Complete. AI Insights is now enabled for your FreJun workspace. All calls recorded from this point forward will generate automatic summaries and transcripts. Time so far: ~5 min. Next: Access and review your AI-generated call summaries in Call Logs.

Phase 2: Access AI Call Summaries (~5 min)

Step 4: Navigate to Call Logs

  1. Click Call Logs in the left sidebar of your FreJun dashboard
  2. The Call Logs page displays all recent call activity with columns for Date, Contact, Duration, Recording, and Outcome

✅ Verification: Call Logs page loads with a list of recent calls. Each call with a recording shows a green View button in the Recording column.

💡 Pro Tip: Use the Date Filter and Rep Filter at the top of Call Logs to quickly isolate calls for a specific team member or time period. This is especially useful for managers reviewing call quality across a team.

Step 5: Open the Detailed Call View

  1. Locate the call you want to review in the Call Logs list
  2. Click the green View button under the Recording column for that call
  3. The detailed call view opens in a new panel or page

✅ Verification: The detailed call view displays all of the following:

  • Call recording (playable audio)
  • AI-generated summary (structured bullet points)
  • Full transcript with speaker labels and timestamps
  • Notes field (editable by rep)
  • Tags (auto-applied and manually editable)
  • Outcome (e.g., Meeting Booked, Follow-Up Required, Closed Won)

💡 Pro Tip: The AI summary is structured into sections: Key Discussion Points, Action Items, and Next Steps. You can copy this directly into a follow-up email template without editing — saving reps 3–5 minutes per call.

Step 6: Review and Edit the AI Summary

  1. Read the AI-generated summary in the summary panel
  2. Click Edit Notes to add rep-specific context the AI may have missed
  3. Adjust the Outcome tag if the AI classification is incorrect (e.g., change “No Decision” to “Follow-Up Scheduled”)
  4. Click Save to preserve your edits

✅ Verification: Edited notes and outcome tags save with a timestamp and the rep’s name, creating an audit trail visible to managers.

✅ Phase 2 Complete. You can now access, review, and edit AI-generated call summaries for every recorded call. Time so far: ~10 min. Next: Configure CRM auto-logging to push summaries directly into your CRM records.

Phase 3: Configure CRM Auto-Logging (~5 min)

Step 7: Connect Your CRM

  1. Navigate to Settings > Integrations in your FreJun dashboard
  2. Locate your CRM in the integrations list (Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho CRM, Pipedrive, or others)
  3. Click Connect next to your CRM
  4. Authenticate via OAuth or enter your API credentials when prompted
  5. Grant FreJun the required permissions (read contacts, write activity logs)

✅ Verification: Your CRM tile displays a green Connected badge. A test sync confirmation message appears.

Step 8: Configure Auto-Logging Fields

  1. After connecting your CRM, click Configure on the CRM tile
  2. In the Field Mapping panel, map FreJun data fields to your CRM fields: AI Summary → CRM Activity Description, Call Duration → CRM Call Duration field, Outcome Tag → CRM Deal Stage or Activity Result, Transcript Link → CRM Notes or Custom URL field
  3. Toggle Auto-Log After Every Call to ON
  4. Click Save Configuration

✅ Verification: Make a test call. Open the contact record in your CRM within 60 seconds of call completion. The AI summary, duration, and outcome tag should appear as a new activity log entry.

✅ Phase 3 Complete. Every call now automatically logs an AI summary, transcript link, and outcome to your CRM — with zero manual input from reps. Total time: ~15 min.

Test That AI Call Summaries Work

Test 1: AI Summary Generation

  1. Make a 2–3 minute test call from your FreJun number to a colleague
  2. Discuss a mock sales scenario (product interest, objection, next step)
  3. End the call
  4. Wait 30–60 seconds, then navigate to Call Logs
  5. Click the green View button on the test call

✅ Success: AI summary appears with Key Discussion Points, Action Items, and Next Steps populated automatically.

❌ Failure: Summary section is blank → See Troubleshooting — AI Insights may not be enabled or the call was too short (minimum 60 seconds required).

Test 2: CRM Auto-Logging

  1. Complete the test call above
  2. Open your CRM and navigate to the contact record for the number you called
  3. Check the Activity or Timeline section within 60 seconds of call end

✅ Success: A new activity log entry appears with the AI summary, call duration, and outcome tag.

❌ Failure: No activity appears in CRM → Check CRM connection status in Settings > Integrations and verify field mapping is saved.

Testing Checklist:

  • ☐ AI summary generates within 60 seconds of call completion
  • ☐ Transcript with speaker labels is visible in detailed call view
  • ☐ Outcome tag is correctly auto-assigned
  • ☐ CRM activity log entry appears with summary and duration
  • ☐ Manager notification fires (if configured)
  • ☐ Edited notes save with rep name and timestamp

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Issue: AI Summary Not Appearing After Calls

Symptoms: Call appears in Call Logs but summary section is blank. “AI Summary Unavailable” message displays in detailed call view.

Common Causes: AI Insights feature not enabled in account settings; call duration was under 60 seconds; dashboard not refreshed after enabling AI Insights.

Solution:

  1. Verify AI Insights is enabled: Go to Settings > AI Insights. Confirm Call Transcription and AI Call Summaries toggles are both ON. If toggles are greyed out, your plan doesn’t include AI Insights — upgrade here.
  2. Hard refresh your browser: Press Ctrl + Shift + R (Windows) or Cmd + Shift + R (Mac). Log out and log back in if the refresh doesn’t resolve it.
  3. Check call duration: Calls under 60 seconds do not generate summaries. Make a test call of at least 2 minutes to confirm functionality.

✅ Expected Result: AI summary appears in the detailed call view within 60 seconds of a qualifying call ending.

💡 Prevention: After enabling AI Insights, always hard refresh your browser before making your first test call.

Issue: CRM Not Receiving Call Logs

Symptoms: Calls complete and summaries generate in FreJun, but no activity appears in CRM. CRM contact records show no recent call activity.

Common Causes: CRM integration disconnected or authentication expired; Auto-Log toggle is set to OFF; field mapping not saved after configuration.

  1. Re-authenticate your CRM connection: Go to Settings > Integrations > your CRM. Click Reconnect and re-authenticate via OAuth. Confirm the Connected badge appears green.
  2. Verify Auto-Log is enabled: In CRM integration settings, confirm Auto-Log After Every Call is toggled ON. Click Save Configuration even if the toggle appears correct.
  3. Re-save field mapping: Open Field Mapping in your CRM integration settings. Re-select each field mapping from the dropdowns. Click Save — unsaved mappings are a common cause of logging failures.

✅ Expected Result: CRM activity log updates within 60 seconds of call completion.

💡 Prevention: After any CRM password change or OAuth token expiry, re-authenticate the FreJun integration immediately to prevent logging gaps.

Issue: Incorrect Outcome Tags

Symptoms: AI assigns “No Decision” to calls that resulted in a meeting booked. Outcome tags don’t match actual call results.

  1. Manually correct the outcome: Open the detailed call view. Click the Outcome dropdown and select the correct tag. Click Save — this correction trains the AI over time.
  2. Add custom outcome keywords: Go to Settings > AI Insights > Outcome Keywords. Add phrases your team uses to signal outcomes (e.g., “let’s schedule,” “send the proposal”).

✅ Expected Result: Outcome accuracy improves within 2–3 weeks of consistent manual corrections.

Best Practices for AI Call Summary Software

1. Set Outcome Tags Before Hanging Up

Why: AI outcome detection is most accurate when reps verbally confirm the next step before ending the call. Train reps to say the outcome aloud: “Great, I’ll send the proposal by Thursday.” Review outcome accuracy weekly in Call Logs and correct misclassifications. Avoid ending calls abruptly without a verbal summary — AI will default to “No Decision.”

2. Use Summaries in Follow-Up Emails Immediately

Why: AI summaries are most valuable when used within 30 minutes of a call, while context is fresh and the prospect’s attention is still engaged. Copy the Action Items section directly into your follow-up email and reference specific points from Key Discussion Points to show attentiveness. Delayed follow-ups reduce conversion rates significantly.

3. Review Team Summaries Weekly as a Manager

Why: AI summaries give managers a scalable way to coach without listening to every call. Filter Call Logs by rep and review 3–5 summaries per rep weekly. Use Keyword Detection alerts to flag calls requiring immediate coaching. Don’t rely solely on rep self-reporting — summaries provide an objective record.

4. Map All Relevant Fields to Your CRM

Why: Incomplete field mapping means valuable data (transcript links, sentiment scores, keyword flags) stays in FreJun and never reaches your CRM. Map at minimum: AI Summary, Duration, Outcome, and Transcript Link. Add custom CRM fields for Sentiment Score if your CRM supports custom properties.

5. Enable Notifications for High-Value Keyword Triggers

Why: Real-time alerts on competitor mentions or pricing discussions let managers intervene in deals before they’re lost — not after. Set keyword alerts for: competitor names, “too expensive,” “need to think about it,” “talking to other vendors.” Route alerts to the manager’s Slack channel for immediate visibility. Always assign a responsible reviewer — alerts without action create noise.

How FreJun Outperforms Alternatives

1. Bidirectional CRM Sync Included on All Plans

FreJun delivers true bidirectional sync — pulling contact data from your CRM before the call and pushing AI summaries, transcripts, and outcome tags back after the call — on every paid plan. JustCall offers one-way logging only; bidirectional sync requires additional configuration and reported 5-minute sync delays. Kixie’s bidirectional sync required developer assistance for some users. CloudTalk limits sync to select CRM fields without custom API work. For a 10-user team, FreJun eliminates the need for a $10–$15/user/month middleware tool — saving $1,200–$1,800/year.

2. AI Summaries Generated in Real Time — Not Batch Processed

FreJun’s AI Insights engine processes call recordings immediately upon call completion. Summaries appear in Call Logs within 60 seconds. Reps can review and send follow-ups before leaving their desk. JustCall users report occasional sync delays with no error notification. Kixie’s batch processing means summaries may lag 5–15 minutes behind call completion. Aloware requires support involvement for non-standard summary configurations.

3. AI Insights Included — Not an Add-On

FreJun includes AI call summaries, transcription, and CRM auto-logging in the Pro plan at no additional cost. Competitors treat these as premium add-ons. See the full comparison below:

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I enable AI Insights in FreJun?

Log in to FreJun as an admin and navigate to Settings > AI Insights. Toggle on Call Transcription and AI Call Summaries. Click Save Settings, then hard refresh your browser. AI Insights requires the Pro plan or higher. Calls made after enabling the feature will generate summaries automatically — previous calls are not retroactively processed.

Where do I find AI-generated call summaries in FreJun?

Navigate to Call Logs in your FreJun dashboard. Click the green View button under the Recording column for any call. The detailed call view displays the AI summary, full transcript, outcome tag, and editable notes. Summaries appear within 60 seconds of call completion for calls lasting at least 60 seconds.

Does FreJun work with Salesforce for automatic call logging?

Yes. FreJun natively integrates with Salesforce. After connecting via OAuth in Settings > Integrations, FreJun automatically logs AI call summaries, duration, outcome tags, and transcript links to Salesforce activity records after every call. Setup takes approximately 5 minutes. Visit FreJun’s integrations page for full details.

How do I sync contacts between my CRM and FreJun?

FreJun’s bidirectional sync handles this automatically once your CRM is connected. Before each call, FreJun pulls the contact’s name, company, and deal stage from your CRM. After the call, FreJun pushes the AI summary, outcome, and transcript back to the contact’s activity timeline. No manual sync is required. Configure this in Settings > Integrations > your CRM > Field Mapping.

What is the best CRM to use with AI call summary software?

Salesforce and HubSpot offer the deepest native integration with FreJun, supporting bidirectional sync, deal stage auto-updates, and full activity timeline logging. Zoho CRM and Pipedrive are also natively supported with 5-minute setup times. For other CRMs, FreJun supports 1,000+ tools via Zapier or direct API. See FreJun features for the full integration list.

Is my call data secure with FreJun AI Insights?

Yes. FreJun uses 256-bit AES encryption for all data in transit and at rest. The platform is SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant. AI-processed transcripts and summaries are stored in encrypted environments. API credentials for CRM integrations are encrypted and never stored in plain text. See the FreJun security page for full details.

Can I undo or delete an AI-generated call summary?

You can edit any AI summary by clicking Edit Notes in the detailed call view. You can also correct outcome tags via the Outcome dropdown. Full call record deletion requires admin permissions: go to Call Logs > select the call > Delete Record. Deleting a call record removes it from FreJun but does not delete the activity already logged to your CRM.

Do AI summaries work on mobile calls made through FreJun?

Yes. FreJun generates AI summaries for all calls made through the FreJun platform, including calls made via the FreJun mobile app. Ensure the mobile app is updated to the latest version and that AI Insights is enabled in your account settings. Summaries appear in Call Logs within 60 seconds of call completion regardless of the device used.
