Ring Groups and Forwarding
Ring groups decide who hears an incoming call.
Ring Strategies
Ring all, round robin, longest idle or fixed order.
Timeout and Overflow
Set how long a call rings and where it goes next.
Forward to Your Mobile
Phone calls can be forwarded to your mobile. WhatsApp calls can't be forwarded, because they stay inside WhatsApp.
