Is it possible to answer calls automatically in the zoom phone application, without need of manual intervention?

 

How can I do this configuration?

hi josuk,

 

yes, zoom phone can automatically answer incomming calls.  How would you like Zoom Phone to answer calls, i.e.  "you have reached best company.  please leave a message and we will call you back as soon as possible.", interactive voice response (ivr) - "for sales, press one, for support press two, for all other matters, press three), and "you have reached best company after normal business hours.  please leave a message and we will call you back next business day".

 

Auto Receptionist and Interactive Voice Response calls can be answered automatically.

please see zoom support articles below for some details:

Sorry about all the replies.  When I posted it said “something went wrong” so I tried again and again.  Didn’t think to refresh to see if the post had gone through… oops.

hi ​@justinmarthaler 

Assuming that you have enabled online fax, incoming faxes are automatically received.

Enabling or disabling Online Fax

Using Online Fax

Using the email-to-fax feature
