How do I set up my Find Me Follow Me?
Customize your line with a personalized dial plan (Find Me/Follow Me) that routes incoming calls however you want. Add multiple ring steps and redirect callers to various destinations like your cell phone or a colleague's extension.
Incoming calls are routed through your Find Me/Follow Me settings when your line is directly dialed, a call is transferred to your line, or your line is used in a Line & Voicemail node. However, these settings are overridden on a per-call basis when your line is used in a Simple Dial node or another user’s Find Me/Follow Me ring step.
