How to forward calls on Dialpad to your AI receptionist

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

Dialpad 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 your Main Line settings

Sign in to Dialpad on the web as an admin

Go to Admin Settings > Office > Main Line, then click Business Hours & Call Routing and Edit Call Routing.
2

Keep your team ringing first

Leave Operators as the routing option

Under routing, keep calls going to Operators so your team rings first. The Fallback Options section only appears when Operators is selected.
3

Forward unanswered calls to your receptionist

Set the fallback to an outside number

In Fallback Options, choose the option to send calls to a team member, room, phone or number, and enter your full RingReady receptionist number. If the outside-number option is missing, ask Dialpad Customer Care to turn it on.

Test it

Call your business number from another phone and let it ring

Don't answer. After the ring time, your RingReady receptionist should pick up. Repeat for after-hours routing if you want it there too.
