Pre-Screen Incoming Call

Is there a way to pre-screen incoming external calls to gather information like their name, company, or reason for the call? That way the person receiving the call has more information on how they'd like to handle the call (answer, decline, VM). I li... Show more

Is there a way to pre-screen incoming external calls to gather information like their name, company, or reason for the call? That way the person receiving the call has more information on how they'd like to handle the call (answer, decline, VM). I like the idea of sharing extension numbers and DID# to others BUT, I don't want our executives and upper level managment to be blindsided by someone that obtained their DID# through incorrect channels.

 

I see there is a User Setting for Call Screening - "Incoming direct external callers will be prompted to respond to a button to reach users, callers who don't respond will be disconnected." This seems to be on the right track, but extremely limited functionality.

Zoom Phone receiving calls

We are new users just trying to tweak our system to work the way we need it. Our current issue is when one of our people are on the line, it won't register an incoming phone call to that line, nor will it put the missed call in that line's history. There are times during the day when only one person is tending the phones (staggered shifts early and late in day). In this circumstance they don't know what they have missed a call, unless a voice message is left by the caller.

When we rolled out Zoom Phone, we gave everyone a desk phone.  However, some people like to use their mobile device or desktop application instead.  For those people, we want to reclaim the phone for new employees that would like a desk phone.

 

Is there an easy way to generate a report that shows provisioned desk phones and the number of phone calls that desk phone has been involved in?

I am able to pull data out of our EHI program called Alayacare.  It's a straight CSV file.  I have to move these values into Zoom test import file to bulk upload external contacts.  The problem with this is that the CSV file format does not like +'s and I am having difficulty formatting the CSV file phone number to E.164 format (+15415555555).  Does anyone have any tips because I have to deal with this everytime that I import contacts.

 

The Zoom external contact system won't accept the CSV import if the phone number is NOT in the E.164 format.

 

Thanks

Joe

DND not showing as busy on BLF's Yealink T54W phones

When our users put their phones on DND it doesn't change their BLF on the rest of the phones to red so others in the company don't know they are not available.

Hello,

 

We have our users set to display our main number through a call queue as the caller ID. However, the caller ID gets changed to the individual number associated with the user without anyone making the change in the settings.

 

Is there a way to stop this from happening?

Hi everyone! We're new to Zoom Phone and have what may be a rudimentary question. Here is our situation:

  • Our new small business has two employees
  • We've purchased two Zoom Phone unlimited licenses
  • Each employee needs to be able to make and receive internal (to/from each other) and external (to/from clients) phone calls
  • Preferably, we'd have one "main company number" and when that number is called, both employees' would be notified and could answer via Zoom Phone (desktop or mobile). Additionally, when placing external calls, it's preferred that the "main company number" be displayed on caller ID.
  • We do not need (for our purposes) our own direct phone numbers that are separate from the main company number. In fact, we would never publicize them. Simply having an extension will do, but we must be able to receive and place calls.

So, with all of this in mind, do both employees need their own assigned phone number in order to actually use Zoom Phone? Or would they be able to make and receive internal and external phone calls using only a call queue for the main company number (plus dial-by-extension for internal calls)?

 

Or does each person require their own direct phone number in order to make/receive external calls?

 

Thank you for your help!

Hi,

 

I am currently setting up a set of Poly Rove 40 handsets connected to a Rove b2 basestation. I can access the b2 basestation's web guide to make changes prior to provisioning the station with Zoom, however, as soon as I provision the basestation to Zoom, I can no longer access the basestation's web gui. I just get a "Connection Refused" error when trying to navigate to the basestation's IP address. I need to be able to access the web gui so I can add repeaters to the system. I've tried everything I've found related to fixing a connection refused error with no luck. What am I doing wrong to not be able to access the base station after provisioning?
