Troubleshooting Tips
Troubleshooting Tips
To make your experience seamless with setting up your Zoom Phone and VoiceValet integration, here are some troubleshooting tips that would help you quickly identify and solve common issues:
● Test the VoiceValet Number: First Call it directly from another phone to make sure it’s working before connecting it to Zoom.
● Turn Off the Press-1 Option: This setting causes most transfer issues. Make sure “Require to press 1” is unchecked for both Business and Closed Hours.
● Adjust Ring Duration: If VoiceValet isn’t picking up during business hours, your team ring time may be too long. Try to set it to 20 - 30 seconds.
● Check Time Zone: Make sure your Zoom profile is set to the right time zone. Otherwise, business hour rules may trigger at the wrong time.
● Test Each Setup: Place test calls simulating each scenario (e.g., after hours, missed call, busy line) to confirm calls are routing correctly.
● Make Sure You Have Admin Access: If you can’t change call settings, you might need Zoom Phone admin permissions. Reach out to your Zoom admin if needed.
● Check the VoiceValet Dashboard: Log into VoiceValet to see incoming call logs and confirm calls are being received and handled.
