Forwarding can extend your existing Bell number into a dedicated answering workflow. That gives your team a consistent destination for calls it cannot answer directly.

- Books appointments. Connect a supported calendar so callers can schedule during the conversation.
- Collects caller details. Capture the information your team needs for follow-up.
- Routes calls. Send calls to the right person or workflow based on your configured rules.
