In plain terms

What is overflow call handling?

Overflow call handling is the backup route used when the first person, team, or ring group is busy or does not answer. Depending on the call, your configured path can send the caller to a queue, voicemail, another destination, or Voxi.ai for approved answers and detail capture. Each route keeps its own timing, scope, and escalation rules.

How it works

The team rings first
A person, ring group, or queue receives the call according to the normal routing plan.

The fallback activates
Busy or unanswered calls move to the configured Voxi.ai path.
03
The request continues
The agent uses approved facts, captures the configured details, and follows the selected handoff or fallback rules.

Questions, answered

Frequently asked questions

Practical answers about setup, call handling, and how this feature fits into VoxiPlus.

Does Voxi.ai have to answer every call?

No. It can sit only on the busy or unanswered fallback after the human routing path.

Can some calls still go to voicemail?

Yes. Each call path can use the fallback that fits the request, including voicemail, a message, another destination, or Voxi.ai.

Can we review overflow activity?

Call reporting records the available direction, status, duration, destination, and related activity for the call.
