Feature Snapshot
Summary:
TrueCall is now integrated directly into TrustedForm certificates, giving advertisers a valuable way to confirm whether an inbound phone call was genuinely initiated by a consumer. This added verification helps identify when calls come directly from leads versus calls that were screened or transferred by third-party agents.
Key Benefits:
- Confirms whether a call was truly initiated by a consumer
- Adds transparency around the origin of inbound calls
- Helps advertisers understand which ads or web pages drive real engagement
- Provides a unique TrueCall ID linked to the call, viewable inside TrustedForm certificates
Typical Use Cases:
- Validating inbound calls before purchasing or routing leads
- Verifying that a call is not an outbound transfer masked as an inbound call
- Adding additional trust and compliance to call-based lead generation
How the TrueCall integration works
When a publisher includes the TrueCall script on their webpage, each inbound call receives a unique TrueCall ID.
TrustedForm automatically records this ID when present:
- The TrueCall ID appears inside the Publisher Provided Data section of the TrustedForm certificate
- Clicking the TrueCall ID redirects you to the TrueCall platform, where you can view the call details
- Lead buyers can confirm whether TrueCall successfully matched the call to the browsing session
This integration helps advertisers validate inbound call authenticity while maintaining a full consent record through TrustedForm.
Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Add the TrueCall script to your web page in tandem with the TrustedForm Certify script so that when a consumer initiates a call, a unique TrueCall ID is generated.
- Capture the TrueCall ID during the consumer call event, where it is automatically embedded within the TrustedForm certificate under the Publisher Provided Data section.
- When reviewing a lead, click the TrueCall ID to be redirected to the TrueCall platform, where detailed call information—including call duration, location, and timestamp—is displayed.
- Use this call verification data to cross-check consumer consent and validate the authenticity of the lead event.
Expected Result:
A TrustedForm certificate is successfully retained with an embedded TrueCall ID. The certificate displays a clearly clickable TrueCall ID that, when accessed, provides detailed call verification data from the TrueCall platform.
Validation & Monitoring (optional)
-
Test the Setup:
Submit a test lead to confirm that the TrueCall script correctly generates a unique TrueCall ID and that this ID appears within your TrustedForm certificate. -
Where to Monitor?:
Monitor your TrustedForm dashboard for retained certificates and click the TrueCall ID to review corresponding call information on TrueCall’s platform to ensure call authenticity aligns with lead data.
Best Practices
- Ensure both TrueCall and TrustedForm Certify scripts are included on your lead-generation pages.
- Regularly audit retained certificates and TrueCall data to promptly identify and address discrepancies in call authenticity.
- Securely store both the full TrustedForm certificate URL and the embedded TrueCall ID in your CRM system for future compliance audits.
- Educate all vendors and developers on proper script implementation to ensure that the TrueCall ID is consistently captured and accurately displayed.
Notes
- TrueCall IDs are not available for TrustedForm Mobile or Facebook Lead Ads certificates.
- Masked TrustedForm certificates will not display TrueCall IDs to protect lead confidentiality.
Troubleshooting
| Symptom / Error | Likely Cause | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| TrueCall ID missing in the certificate | TrueCall script not properly integrated or blocked (e.g., by ad blockers) | Verify that the TrueCall script is correctly added and not obstructed by browser extensions; ensure JavaScript is enabled |
| Mismatched TrueCall ID and call data | Timing issues between script executions or data synchronization errors | Ensure the TrueCall script executes before the form submission and review API logging for anomalies |
| Redirect failure when clicking the TrueCall ID | Incorrect URL formatting or misconfiguration in the integration setup | Confirm that the generated TrueCall ID is in the correct format and that redirection settings match TrueCall platform requirements. Confirm your TrueCall account has access |
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is the set up process like for customers interested in using this? Do we advise them to contact a rep at TrueCall to set up an account? Is there a cost to get/implement TrueCall’s script?
A: Anyone can sign up for an account here (https://app.truecall.com/register). The TrueCall ecosystem is comprised of Generators and End Users.
- Generators generate TrueCall IDs. Generator accounts are free to use.
- End Users validate TrueCall IDs. End User’s accounts are paid (you would have to contact sales https://truecall.com/contact to get an End user account).
Q: Is there any implementation required on our end?
A: No, we simply show the TrueCall ID on our certificates whenever present.
Q: Is there a way to leverage this within LeadConduit so customers can filter/reject calls?
A: Currently there isn’t a way to leverage this within LeadConduit.
