What Does VoiceValet Do?
What Does VoiceValet Do?
VoiceValet provides businesses with a phone number to their AI answering agent. This agent can take calls, answer questions, set appointments, and more, just as a human agent would. The difference is that an AI agent can answer whenever the business needs to fill coverage gaps in their human agents’ schedule, cover during a vacation, or just answer customers on weekends.
The setup is simple, even if you’re already using a call service like Dialpad. Here’s how you can integrate the two services to get the most out of your new AI agent.

Steps (Web App):
1. Log in at dialpad.com.
2. Click your avatar → Your Settings → Your Devices.
3. Click Add New → Add a forwarding number.

5. Once verified, check the bubble next to the number and set it to Always.
6. Save changes.
This forwards every call to VoiceValet, no questions asked. This is great for the times when your business is on vacation or going through an unplanned closure. It works on weekends too. Any time you want full call coverage with little to no manpower required, these steps will keep your business on-call.

2. Forward Missed or Busy Calls Only
2. Forward Missed or Busy Calls Only
When to use: You or your team usually answer, but you still want VoiceValet to pick up if you're busy or miss a call.
When to use: You or your team usually answer, but you still want VoiceValet to pick up if you're busy or miss a call.
Setup:
1. Follow steps 1–4 above (“Add… forward number”).
2. After verifying, choose forwarding behavior in the Advanced Settings panel:
○ Forward when busy
○ Forward when unanswered (you can set the number of rings)
○ Forward not reachable (great fail-safe)
3. Save.
Once this is set up, callers get busy signal fallback, missed call fallback, and even offline fallback to VoiceValet. There’s practically no one they will call your business and be left on the hook, even if every human agent is busy.

Since Dialpad doesn’t support time-based rules per user by default, here’s a simple workaround:
Option A (Manual toggle):
● Use the setup from Step 1 when you're off.
● Manually disable forwarding when you're working again.
Option B (For Departments or Contact Centers):
1. In Admin Settings → Departments, pick your department.
2. Go to Business Hours & Call Routing → Edit Call Routing.
3. Set calls to agents during open hours, then choose forward to a forwarding number (insert your VoiceValet number) for after-hours.
4. Save.
This setup routes calls to team members first, then to VoiceValet only during off hours. This is great for businesses with strong teams of on-call agents who can handle most requests but who still want to make sure no calls slip through the cracks.

Tips & Common Pitfalls
Tips & Common Pitfalls
Dialpad and VoiceValet integration is simple, but some businesses may still have trouble setting it up. Here are two common issues:
● Verification Stall: During “Verify,” Dialpad calls VoiceValet. Make sure routing is temporarily ready for this test so it completes, or you may have to do it again.
● Press‑1 Forwarding Prompt: Turn it on in Advanced Settings so forwarded calls go through to the agent, not to voicemail. If you pick up early, you may still get prompted to "press 1" due to Dialpad logic.
Dialpad uses the last added forwarding number if the system experiences an outage, but VoiceValet can serve as a fallback. The system can handle most issues without further input, but you may still need help.
