Assign and reassign numbers
Updated over a month ago

DialLink allows you to assign phone numbers to users, teams, and automated systems so that every call reaches the right destination. Whether setting up a new number or reassigning an existing one, DialLink helps you keep your call flow organized and efficient.

Default assigning

When adding a user to the platform, you can get a new phone number for them. In this case, the number is automatically assigned to the user.

Assigning a number

Assigning a number specifies who will handle incoming calls. Follow these steps to assign it to the appropriate recipient:

  1. Go to the Phone numbers section and select a number from the list.

  2. Choose from the following options:

    • User
      Assign the number to an individual user registered on DialLink. The user receives all calls directly.

    • Ring group
      Assign the number to a predefined group of users. Incoming calls will ring multiple team members simultaneously.

    • Call queue
      Distribute calls among a group of agents based on availability and predefined queue settings.

    • Auto-receptionist
      Assign the number to an automated system that routes calls based on working hours.

    • Unassigned
      Keep the number unassigned for future use. Calls to this number will not be routed until assigned.

  3. Select the target assignee from the drop-down list (e.g., a user for User, a queue name for Call queue).

Reassigning a number

Reassigning a number is a simple process that allows you to change its assignee whenever needed. If a user leaves the company, changes roles, or if call routing needs adjustment, you can easily update the phone number settings.

To reassign a number, simply navigate to the Phone numbers section, find the assigned number, and open its settings. In the Assignment field, select a new assignee from the available options. After reassignment, incoming calls will be immediately routed to the new assignee.
