This section will require a fair amount of thinking and is critical to having
forward calls and take details/messages.
ACTIONS
We use ‘Actions’ to forward calls and take enquiries. You need to select what 15 actions you would like
to take.
There are 2 choices for each action. Each choice uses 1 action:
1. Call Forwarding
2. Send an Email and/or Send an SMS.
You are limited to 15 actions in total. We suggest 1 Action allocated to handling a caller when they are returning a call from your business. This way they are always transferred to a team member preventing the never-ending cycle of leaving messages. This leaves 14 other actions to choose from.
LIVE TRANSFER
When you select Live Transfer we will forward the call based on their enquiry to the relevant team member. To do this, we need you to provide a direct line to the team member. You cannot use your main line as a Live Transfer as
will answer the call on the main line.
Call transfers will ONLY happen during your nominated business hours. After hours, you will need an additional action to take the enquiry if you want
to take a detailed booking or request. Otherwise, it will be captured as a general enquiry after hours.
Important: When using Live Transfer, you should have your team set up Voicemail on their phone, or alternatively you can have the call ring on other phones if they don’t pick up within a number of rings. Otherwise the transferred call with ring out. Alternatively, you can have the call forwarded back to
to take a message – this is an additional $100 per month as it requires a second AI agent to be setup to take messages and forward notifications to the relevant team member.
NOTIFICATIONSIf you choose for
to take the enquiry, we use an action to notify you or a specific team member. These notifications can be sent via email and/or SMS.
This is how they look.
