Troubleshooting Tips
Troubleshooting Tips
To make your experience seamless with setting up your Phone.com and VoiceValet integration, here are some troubleshooting tips to solve the most frequent problems that may occur:
● Correct VoiceValet Number: Double-check that the VoiceValet phone number you entered into Phone.com setting is absolutely accurate, including the correct country code if necessary.
● Conflicting Rules: The most common issue! Ensure no other Phone.com rules (like voicemail directly on the number, a "ring group," or other auto-attendants) are intercepting calls before they can reach your VoiceValet forwarding rule. Review the order of your call handling rules if applicable.
● Ring Delay Too Short/Long: If you've set a ring delay for "missed calls," select a good time for your human agents to genuinely attempt to answer but not so long that callers hang up.
