Call Forwarding (redirect call) setup

Modified on Mon, 11 Mar 2024 at 08:43 AM

Incoming calls can be automatically transferred to another direction. You can configure forwarding to an internal, external, mobile subscriber, to a queue, to a call script, to any employee telephone number (mobile or landline) not previously specified in the virtual PBX. After the client's call arrives at the subscriber's extension number, it will be automatically forwarded to the specified direction.

For example, it is possible to route a call to a call script through a queue and to a voice mailbox.

 

⚠️Warning!

Forwarding works only if the caller has dialed an extension employee, or in the call scenario the call goes to an extension.


To set up forwarding, you can track it in "Virtual PBX" >> "Settings" >> "Extension numbers"  >> "Call Forwarding" tab.



The Virtual PBX provides function redirection of incoming calls to other destinations.


Description

Destinations, which available to forwarding:

  • An external phone number (any operator's mobile or landline number);
  • A queue;
  • An extension number;
  • An external subscriber;
  • A mobile number.


Redirect condition types: 

  1. Unconditional. In this case all incoming calls will be redirected to selected destination.
  2. When no answer. Call will be redirected when your phone is free, but you can't answer.
  3. When busy.
  4. When unavailable.
