How do I route inbound calls in Hustle?

With the Inbound calls setting, when a contact calls the number messaging them, admins determine how the call gets routed.

By default, if a contact calls the phone number that they were texted from, they’ll be routed to the last agent who messaged them.

However, admins can set up organizations and groups to route phone calls from contacts to specific numbers.

Note: Calls will follow the settings configured in a group first if both the organization and group are configured to route calls.

When agents make or receive calls, the contact's and agent's personal number won’t be visible and is protected at all times.
