Use call filters

Create a call filter to reroute calls to your business needs. Call filters also allows you to block unwanted calls automatically, such as calls from telemarketers.

Note: Call filters will only block inbound calls. To block specific phone numbers from sending SMS/MMS to your system or line, see How do I block a phone number?.

If you're an admin who signs in at https://admin.goto.com, these steps are for you.
Before you begin: You must have an admin or super admin role to perform this task.
  1. Sign in to GoTo Admin.
  2. From Phone system (phone in a cloud) icon > Utilities > Call filters, select + Add call filter.
  3. Enter a Name for this call filter.
  4. Enter the Number criteria for the call filter. Options include:
    • A ten-digit phone number.
    • Use * as a wildcard to broaden call filter criteria (e.g., 800* filters calls from 1-800 numbers, *4437 filters all calls ending in 4437).
    • Leave blank to filter anonymous calls.
    Warning: Creating a call filter with only * will filter all calls.
  5. Select an Action for incoming calls that match the call filter criteria:
    • Hang up: Ends the call immediately without playing any message or providing the caller with any options.
    • Play block notification: Plays the message, “You have been deny listed on this system” and then ends the call without providing any further options.
    • Play sound clip: Plays a designated sound clip and then ends the call without providing any further options. When you select this action, a new field appears to choose the desired pre-recorded sound clip. If you need help creating a new sound clip, see How do I add a sound clip or music file?
