02 · Team line

Where live calls go.

  • 1
    Replace [Team Phone Number]

    On Try the Team Line (call workflow) and Connect to the Team Line (callback workflow). Votel flags both until a real number is entered.

  • 2
    Set your business hours

    Days, start and end time, and time zone on the same rule. Outside these hours Sara takes a message instead.

  • 3
    Set the same hours on the callback-coming text

    So callbacks only happen while your team is in.

03 · Numbers

Caller ID and texts.

  • 1
    Choose the from-number

    On both forwarding rules and both callback calls.

  • 2
    Connect an SMS number

04 · Email

Team notices.

  • 1
    Select an email sender

    On the five team emails.

  • 2
    Confirm the support address

05 · Business line

Start the receptionist.

  • 1
    Assign the agent to your number

    Inbound calls to that number start the call workflow; only those calls start the recovery workflow.

    Hours, services and service area. Without it Sara says the team will confirm.

07 · Test and activate
