Common questions to get started

I ordered a desk phone. How can I check the delivery status?

After logging in to your DialLink account, go to Settings → Desk phones.

There, you’ll see the current delivery status of your desk phone.

I submitted a porting request and want to check its status or understand why it was rejected.

Log in to your DialLink account and go to Settings → Porting requests.

You’ll see the status of your porting request, along with the rejection reason if it was not approved.

What’s next?

Review the basic settings available with your subscription plan to ensure a smooth start with DialLink.

Settings available on every plan

Number management

Company main line

Go to Settings → General → Company main line.

Make sure the selected phone number is the one you want to use as your company’s main line.

Phone numbers

Go to Settings → Phone numbers to assign numbers and configure call flows for each number. From there, you can also add new local or toll-free numbers.

Porting phone number

If you need to port existing numbers, go to Settings → Porting requests, click “+”, and follow the step-by-step instructions to submit a porting request.

Before submitting your first porting request, we recommend reviewing our support articles that explain the porting requirements and process in detail to help reduce the risk of rejection.

Connect a desk phone you purchased from DialLink

All desk phones purchased from DialLink arrive pre-provisioned. Turn the phone on and follow the setup instructions in this article.

Sending text messages to US phone numbers

To send outbound messages to US phone numbers, you must complete US carrier registration.

If you’re not sure where to start, don’t worry. We’ve created a detailed guide to help you through the process. Please review this collection of articles to understand the requirements and how to submit your registration.

Familiarizing yourself with the process and requirements will help reduce the risk of your registration being rejected.

Auto-receptionist

Go to Settings → Auto-receptionists to define business hours, holidays, and call routing for open and closed hours. Routing options vary by plan. Learn more in our video tutorial.

Ring groups

Go to Settings → Ring groups to enable shared lines for your team, allowing multiple users to handle calls and messages together. Learn how to set them up in our video tutorial.

Holiday schedules

First, make sure your business hours are set up in the auto-receptionist. Then go to Settings → Holiday schedules to configure your holiday schedule.

On holidays, calls follow the after-hours call flow defined during your business hours setup.

Features available only on the Professional and Enterprise plans

Call queues

Call queues help manage high inbound call volumes, ensuring no caller hears a busy signal and calls are handled efficiently. Watch our video tutorial to learn how to set them up.

AI features

Call transcript, summary, action items, and sentiment analysis

These features rely on call recordings. To use them, call recording must be enabled.

On the Professional and Enterprise plans, you can enable automatic call recording in the settings for the following features:

  • Auto-receptionists

  • Ring groups

  • Call queues

Call tagging

Automated call tagging is enabled at the tenant level.

To configure automated call tagging, go to Settings → General and scroll down to Call tags.

AI-suggested messages and AI-suggested contacts

No additional setup is required for these features; they work automatically.

AI voice agents

In the basic configuration, the AI voice agents can:

  • Answer questions

  • Transfer calls to team members

  • Route calls based on keywords

By integrating AI voice agents with other business tools using MCP integrations, you can expand what they can do.

Watch our video tutorial to see how easy it is to set up your first AI voice agent.

Knowledge base

AI agents use a knowledge base to answer questions, and a single knowledge base can be shared across multiple agents. Watch our video tutorial to learn how to connect a knowledge base to an AI agent.

WhatsApp for Business

You can send and receive WhatsApp for Business messages alongside text messages. With this integration, you can manage WhatsApp conversations in the same interface you use for calls and SMS, eliminating the need to switch between tools.

To learn how to set this up, please review this collection of support articles.

Automated callback

In your call queue settings, turn on automated callbacks so callers can request a callback instead of waiting on hold.
