How to Setup Call Forward?

When a call is routed to a Ring Group and one or more extensions in that group have Call Forward enabled, you must also enable Call Forward on the Ring Group itself — otherwise the individual extension forwards will be ignored.

Step 1 — Enable Call Forward on the Extension

  1. Navigate to Extensions.
  2. Locate the extension and click the Edit (pencil) icon.
  3. Set Call Forward to Forward.
  4. In the Call Forward modal that opens, set:
    • Call Forward: Enabled + enter destination number
    • Optionally configure On Busy, No Answer, or Not Registered
  5. Click Save, then click Update Extension.

Step 2 — Enable Call Forward on the Ring Group

Required: If the Ring Group routes to an extension with Call Forward enabled, the Ring Group must also have its Call Forward field set to True.
  1. Navigate to Ring Groups.
  2. Click the Edit (pencil) icon on the relevant Ring Group.
  3. Locate the Call Forward field.
  4. Set it to True.
  5. Click Edit Ring Group to save.

Step 3 — Verify the Configuration

Setting Location Required Value
Extension Call Forward Extensions → Edit → Call Forward Forward (with destination set)
Ring Group Call Forward Ring Groups → Edit → Call Forward True

Step 4 — Test the Call Forward

  • Call the number that routes to the Ring Group.
  • Verify the call forwards correctly to the configured destination.
  • If the call does not forward, confirm both the extension and the Ring Group have Call Forward enabled.
