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.
Watch Video
About this task: 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.
  1. Log in to the desktop or mobile app.
  2. From the desktop or web app, select your profile in the top right, select Settings and then select Find me follow me.
  3. From the mobile app, tap your profile picture in the top left, select Phone and then tap Find Me, Follow Me.
  4. Customize the following:
    5. OptionDescription
    Ring StepDefines which extension(s) and number(s) to ring when someone calls the line. You can set up the line to ring more than one phone simultaneously by adding multiple numbers to a ring step or in sequence by creating multiple ring steps.
    Note: If you have Block Caller ID enabled on the phone number routed to the line, the External Caller ID will continue to be blocked as the call is routed to other ring step destinations.
    Confirm PickupGives the option to dial 1 to accept an incoming call or 2 to send it to the next step in the dial plan.
    Tip: Confirm pickup is helpful when a ring step includes an external number as it can interrupt your dial plan. For example, when a cell phone is turned off, calls go straight to the cell phone's voicemail box. Without confirm pickup, the voicemail would answer the call and prematurely end the ring step. Enabling confirm pickup allows the call to re-route back to the next ring step.
     Pass-through Caller ID
    		Controls which caller ID is displayed for ring steps that include external numbers.
    When enabled: the caller ID of the original caller is displayed.
    When disabled: the line's External Caller ID is displayed.
     Ring TimeDefines the number of seconds the call rings before going to the next ring step. This is overridden by any Simple Dial nodes that reference the line in a dial plan.
     No answer, send toDefines what happens if the call is never answered.
    Voicemail: Sends the caller to the line's voicemail.
    Internal: Sends the caller to a specified internal extension.
    External: Sends the caller to a specified external number.
    Transferer: If the call was transferred to the line, returns the call to the party that initiated the transfer. If the call was not transferred to the line, it hangs up on the caller.
    Hang up: Hangs up on the caller.
     If call fails, send toDefines what happens if the call fails, like in the case of an internet or power outage.
    Unspecified: Follows the No answer, send to ring step.
    Internal: Sends the caller to a specified internal extension. To avoid routing calls to another device that is also affected by the same outage, we recommend using failover to an internal extension only if you have multiple locations on the same system (e.g., an office in Chicago and Dallas).
    External Number: Sends the caller to a specified external number.
  5. Select Save.
