    Call external VOIP api from within a lead/contact

    I want to call an external VOIP api when a crm user clicks a "Call" button from with a lead / contact.

    1. The VOIP tool I'm integrating with isn't in espo's supported VOIPs so I need to call an api.
    2. I need to have a good visual experience where I inform the crm user that the call is being made.

    Here's what I tried:
    1. Build a manual workflow that calls the external api when a button is clicked inside the lead page: this technically calls the external api but the UI experience isn't very good. It just shows a "Done" message to the user.
    2. I tried using a WYSIWYG field but this doesn't allow me to call apis, as far as I know.

    Any recommendation on how to acheive this?

    Hello,
    unfortunately this will require coding. Only alternative which i could think is an iframe with some external script which handle better an UI, but i don't know whether it'll work.
