Setting up the Forward all calls feature in the Admin Portal
Last updated on June 22, 2022
The Forward all calls feature allows you to easily forward all your incoming calls when you’re unable to answer. You can forward incoming calls to a voicemail, coworker, external number, call queue, announcement, IVR menu, or other locations. You can also schedule the time period when the incoming calls should be forwarded.
Admins can set the Forward all calls feature for users.

- Check the box for Specify start and end dates to set start and/or end dates or times (optional). This feature is useful for forwarding calls around your break or vacation schedule.
