How to send callers to voicemail with Do Not Disturb

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.
