Call Routing workflow visual
Call Routing Call flow. Step one: Map the incoming number. Decide which customers and use cases enter through each business number. Step two: Create the routing logic. Connect schedules, menus, teams, queues, and fallbacks in the required order. Step three: Test common scenarios. Verify open, closed, busy, unanswered, and failure paths before launch. Why it matters: Connect calls to teams. Send inbound calls to the queue, group, extension, or destination responsible for the request.

Call Routing FAQs

What destinations can call routing use?
A TalkChief call flow can use supported teams, queues, extensions, voicemail, and approved internal or external destinations, depending on configuration.
Can routing change outside business hours?
Yes. Combine call routing with business hours or time-based rules to send callers through a different closed-hours path.
Is Call Routing available on every TalkChief account?
Routing outcomes depend on number delivery, destination availability, schedules, and the configured fallback logic. External destinations may incur calling charges.
