Ring orders

The right person answers, because you decided who rings.

Ring everyone at once, or one teammate at a time in the order you set. Each number gets its own strategy, so the sales line and the owner's line behave differently.

Pairs with number assignment: personal lines ring their owner

Sequential when it matters, simultaneous when it doesn't

A two-person shop probably wants every phone ringing at once. A five-person team usually wants the account owner first, then the backup, then everyone. Both are one setting on the number.

No answer isn't a dead end

When nobody picks up, the caller gets your voicemail greeting, the message is transcribed and AI-summarized, and the missed call is logged | so following up takes seconds, not archaeology.

Better with your stack

If the order doesn't catch it, your stack still can.

Teammates ring in the sequence you set. When nobody picks up, Slack, Zendesk, and the task board still get the missed call.

Never miss another customer.

Port your number, train your agent in minutes, and put your line on autopilot. Or keep the AI off entirely. Your call.
