Incoming call rule

The incoming call rule is the rule that determines the flow of incoming calls when receiving a call. You can create multiple incoming call rules that are suitable for different situations like during business hours or after business hours.

When setting up the rules for incoming calls, you must set up a group that will receive incoming calls, so first, create a group before setting the rules.

  IMPORTANT

  •   The registered rule will not take effect until you set the filter.

Example #1: Call all users in a group

Let's say that you want everyone's phone in your sales team to ring when a call comes in during business hours on weekdays. In this case, select Call all users in a group then select the appropriate group. If you also set the Ring time, the phone will ring for the specified number of seconds.

If nobody picks up the phone during this time, the call will be disconnected.
