Inbound Call Routing is the process that happens if a prospect calls back the phone number from a text message or the phone call that they received from your Freedomkit outbound number or a number they found on your website, funnel, etc.
When a campaign sends out text messages or calls the outbound phone number is the phone number that you set up under Settings > Phone.
NOTE: Inbound calls can be forwarded to a cell phone but they cannot be answered in the desktop application. You can make outbound calls from the app.
Overview:
- If you have a phone number assigned to a user, the inbound call will route to that user's phone number
- If the lead is assigned to a user. It will route to the assigned user’s phone number
- If there is not a phone number assigned to the user, the lead is not assigned to a user, and a forwarding number is set it will forward to the forwarding number
- If there is no forwarding number set up, then the call will route to the company number.
