Setup Guide

Tip

For best results, open the Auto-Attendant builder in Chrome or Firefox.

1. Add an Auto-Attendant

  1. Click [+ Add Auto-Attendant].

  2. The auto-attendant builder will open in a new window. If your browser doesn't allow pop-ups, it may ask if you want to allow this one.

  3. Enter a name for this auto-attendant.

  4. Click the Add_Icon_Blue.png Add icon to select and add a new route (see the Routes Guide for details). When a route is selected, the editor will slide out on the right of your window.

  5. Configure the route as needed, then click Save.

  6. Back on the auto-attendant builder, there is now a Add_Icon_Blue.png Add icon next to each new route. Click the icon to add the next route.

2. Activate an Auto-Attendant

When the auto-attendant is complete, meaning there aren't any open routes and everything is good to go, its status will be updated to Ready to Activate. At this point, you click Launch.png to Activate it.

3. Assign Phone Number

Once the auto-attendant is activated, a phone number needs to be assigned to it so calls to that number can be directed through the auto-attendant.

If the auto-attendant is activated but you do not see the Assign Phone Number link or have access to the Phone Numbers page, please contact Customer Support for assistance.

  1. Click Assign Phone Number to go to the Phone Numbers page.

  2. Locate the phone number this Auto-Attendant is for and click the Icon_Edit_Destination.png map icon on the right.

  3. Update the Phone Number Rings To: field to the active Auto-Attendant and click [Save]. If the auto-attendant you're looking for isn't listed, make sure it has been activated.
