Don't leave your customers hanging! When you're in a meeting or otherwise not available to answer calls, you can send your customers directly to voicemail.
How does "Do not disturb" work on OpenPhone
When your number is set to "Active", you receive all incoming calls and messages.
If you turn on "Do not disturb", your calls go directly to voicemail. You still receive text messages like you normally would and you still receive notifications for missed calls without your phone ringing.
If you get voicemail, it will be transcribed and texted to you together with the audio file, as per usual.
You can set "Do not disturb" from both your mobile app and desktop. Activating it on any platform will automatically take effect on all platforms.
How does "Do not disturb" impact teams
Any team member within OpenPhone can set their own "Do not disturb" settings. If they are the sole owner of a number, all calls will go straight to voicemail.
"Do not disturb" will not affect a shared number, just the incoming calls you see on your account.
