Objective

To ensure your AI Receptionist is ready to take calls during the appropriate hours, add it to the Time of Day Routing configuration for your main business number.
 

User Context

  • CAIRO Redundancy and TOD Routing
  • CAIRO trial has ended
     

Procedure

TIP: Crexendo recommends verifying that your Time of Day Routing is configured correctly so calls are sent to the intended AI Receptionist during each configured time frame.

 

  1. From the VIP Portal for Managers, select Inventory from the navigation menu at the top of the page.
  2. Locate the AI Receptionist Pilot Number
    1. Locate your Cairo - AI Receptionist in Inventory.
    2. Take note of the pilot number assigned to the AI Receptionist.

      TIP: You will use this pilot number as the destination when configuring Time of Day Routing for your main business number.

    2. From the Treatment drop-down menu, select PSTN Number.
    3. In the Destination field, enter the pilot number assigned to the AI Receptionist.

      TIP: You may have more than one AI Receptionist configured for different time frames, such as one for business hours and another for after-hours or weekends. Verify that the correct pilot number is entered for each time frame.
