    How to Create a Call Flow with a Contingency (Backup) Number


    1Log into the WhatConverts Profile you want to set up the Call Flow in. Click "Tracking" in the top menu. Select "Phone Calls" and click "Call Flows".

    Where to find Call Flows in a WhatConverts Profile

    Click "Add Call Flow".

    2Give your Call Flow a Name, select "Incoming Call Flow". Choose the Call Flow that is best suited for your business.

    In this example, we'll use "Basic Dial".

    Click "Next Step".

    3In the first Dial Step, click the "Edit" icon in the top left of the module. Give your module a Name that identifies the step, select how the calls will be connected by choosing one of the following:

    • Direct Call
    • Multi-Ring (to call multiple phone numbers at the same time)
    • Round Robin (to call numbers in a sequence).

    Enter the "Destination Number" of your step. Under How long to wait for recipient to answer?, enter how many seconds you want your first destination number to ring before moving to the next Dial Step.

      Note: If your first Destination Number has a voicemail set up on their phone, make sure the wait time is shorter than the amount of time it takes to get to their voicemail.

    4After your initial Dial Step, click "+" and click "Dial" to add an additional Dial Step.

    Second Dial Step

    5Click the "Edit" icon to edit the second dial step. Give your module a Name that identifies the step, select how the calls will be connected and enter the destination number(s) to call after your primary step.

    Check the remainder of the phone number settings and click "Save Changes".

    6Check the remainder of your Call Flow steps. Click "Finish".

    7Apply your Call Flow to your tracking number(s). Select "Tracking" in the top menu, "Phone Calls" and "Phone Numbers". Click the "Edit Icon" at the end of the row to edit your tracking number(s).

    Edit a phone number button

    Under Where should we forward incoming calls?, select "Call Flow" and choose your new Call Flow from the drop down menu. Click "Finish".
