1. Your Ava number
It's in your "Ava is ready" email. Type it here and every code below fills in for you.
2. Pick the phone your customers call
AT&T or T-Mobile cell phone
- Open the phone app's keypad on the business cell.
- Dial **004*1{N}# and press call.
- You'll see a message that forwarding is on. That's it.
This sends calls to Ava when you don't answer, you're on another call, or your phone is off.
To turn it off: dial ##004# and press call.
Verizon cell phone
- Open the phone app's keypad on the business cell.
- Dial *71{N} and press call.
- Wait for the confirmation tone or message, then hang up.
This sends calls to Ava when you don't answer or you're on another call.
To turn it off: dial *73 and press call.
Office landline (Comcast, Spectrum, AT&T Business and others)
Landline providers each do this a little differently. The best setting is called Call Forwarding No Answer, so your office phone rings first.
- Log in to your phone provider's online account and find Call Forwarding, then No Answer (sometimes "Forward if no answer").
- Enter Ava's number: {N}, and set it to forward after 4 or 5 rings.
- Save it.
Can't find it? Most landlines also forward every call by dialing *72{N}. That's a good choice for nights and weekends. Dial *73 in the morning to turn it off.
Or just call us at (904) 806-3161 and we'll set it up with you in five minutes.
RingCentral, Grasshopper, Nextiva or another phone system
- Sign in to your phone system's admin page or app.
- Open the call handling (or "call forwarding" / "call flow") settings for your main number.
- Add a rule: if nobody answers after 20 seconds, forward to an outside number: {N}.
- For After-Hours plans, you can instead forward to Ava only outside your business hours.
Not sure where it is? Call us at (904) 806-3161 and we'll walk through it with you.
3. Test it (30 seconds)
- From a different phone, call your business number and let it ring without answering.
- Ava should pick up with your business name. Ask her to book something, then hang up.
- Within a few minutes you'll get the call summary by email. If anything sounds off, text us and we'll adjust her the same day.
