How to forward calls on 3CX to your AI receptionist

Keep your 3CX number. Your phone rings first — RingReady answers only the calls you miss. Set it up in a few minutes from your 3CX settings.

3CX setup

After you sign up you get your own RingReady number; your dashboard shows these same steps with it filled in, as tap-to-dial buttons.

1

Open the 3CX web client

Sign in to your extension

Log in to your 3CX web client (or ask your 3CX admin to do this for the extension that rings first).
2

Open Call Forwarding

Settings → Call Forwarding

Click Settings → Call Forwarding, then click the Available status to edit its rules.
3

Forward unanswered calls to your receptionist

Set unanswered and busy calls to an external number

Under Unanswered calls set about 20 seconds and choose External number, then enter your full RingReady receptionist number. Under Busy or Not Registered choose External number with the same number.
4

Cover after-hours too

Repeat for Away and Do Not Disturb

Set the same External number for the Away and Do Not Disturb statuses. With Schedule turned on, 3CX switches you to Do Not Disturb outside office hours, so after-hours calls go to RingReady.
5

Test it

Call your business number from another phone and let it ring

Let it ring past 20 seconds. Your RingReady receptionist should pick up. If the call fails, ask your 3CX admin to allow forwarding to outside numbers.
