Ring Groups

📘

Ring Groups are included as part of the Enhanced and Everything packages.

If you don't have one of these packages, you can create Destination Groups, which allow similar functionality without the Ring Strategy and Ring Order.

For example:
Small business with four employees – Set up a ring group to include all four employees. When a call comes in, you could have all four extensions ring simultaneously so whoever picks up first takes the call. Or set up the ring group, so the phones ring in a specific order to distribute the workload better.

Larger business – Set up a Ring Group for your sales team. When a call comes into your sales number, you can set it up to ring the sales reps in a specific order, so they each get a turn to answer incoming calls. Or set it up so all the phones in the group ring simultaneously so the first to answer gets the sale!
