Numbers settings

After you've connected phone numbers to Bitrix24, you need to configure them.

Click CRM > Add-ons > Telephony > Configure numbers and select the number in the list.

Else, you can click the Configure button in My numbers section to open the list of all the connected numbers.

Then you can configure the selected phone number or PBX.


Connection parameters

Specify the required parameters in this section to make calls using your Bitrix24 SIP.

This option is available only for SIP PBX connection (office or cloud hosted).

Inbound call routing

*Handling of To: SIP header

Activate this option to forward an inbound call to an employee whose internal extension is listed in the To: SIP header of the INVITE query.

Specify an extension number for an employee before activating this option.

This option is available only for SIP PBX connection (office or cloud hosted).

Play welcome music

Activate the Extension number processing option, and your clients will be able to call to the particular employee if he/she knows the employee's extension number.

Also, you can configure how calls are processed if Bitrix24 user does not answer :

  • Continue call processing - calls will be processed according to the current inbound calls routing settings.
  • Forward to mobile - a call will be forwarded to the employee's mobile phone number.
    Don't forget to specify the employee's mobile number on his/her profile page. The number must be specified in international format.
  • Leave voicemail message - a client can leave a voicemail message.

    For the correct processing of the extension number in the number settings, the playback of the greeting (Hold music > Greeting) should be enabled.

    If the voice menu (IVR) is enabled, the extension from the greeting melody is processed first, and then the voice menu is processed.

    Direct incoming call with an extension to a Bitrix24 employee is not supported. An extension can be entered only after the greeting melody or in the IVR menu.

    For a direct outgoing call, an extension number is separated from the main number by the following characters: ; or #.

Use voice menu

Activate this option to forward calls to an IVR menu. If you get a large volume of incoming calls, it may be helpful to have an IVR system filtering them for you and routing these calls to the desired destination.
Check if IVR option is available on your plan. You can find all the information about Bitrix24 plans on the pricing page.

Send inbound call to a responsible person specified in the CRM if a contact is identified as known

CRM integration

If number is not registered with CRM, you can create a new CRM record manually in the call window, or Bitrix24 can create a new lead automatically. Also, if you don't want to collect certain contact's calls in CRM, just add this contact to the exceptions list.

Other

Employees can select this number for outbound calls

Activate this option, and employees will be able to select the connection for outbound calls (rented number, cloud hosted or office PBX) right before making an outbound call. An employee needs to have appropriate access permissions to this connection.

You can specify a Prefix for calls via this number to make an outgoing call from this number by dialing the specified prefix on your phone.

Prefix selection tips

You can use combinations of symbols and numbers as prefixes. Use only those symbols that you have on the phone's dial pad. We don't recommend to use + in prefix as it may be recognized as a country code.

  • We recommend to use * or # in prefixes. For example, *123*, #123#, *123# or #123*.

    So to make an outbound call using the selected connetion, an employee needs to dial: *123*destination_phone_number (for example, *123*12125599676).

  • If you use a combination of numbers as a prefix, make sure that it's not a country code. For example, you can use: 801, 802, 803, etc.

    So to make an outbound call using the selected connection, an employee needs to dial: 802destination_phone_number (for example, 80212125599676).

Also, you can specify Employees allowed to make calls using this phone number in this section.

Redial missed callback

If an employee fails to reach the client, you can specify how many Redial attempts will be made and a Delay between attempts.

Enable backup phone number

Specify the number to which a call will be redirected if your Bitrix24 account is unavailable for any reason. A backup number specified in the telephony settings is used by default.

When a call is redirected to the backup phone number, you get charged according to the outgoing calls price list for the selected telephony connection option.

Use the phone number that is not connected to your Bitrix24 as a backup phone number.

Change forward-to number (only for PBX and applications)

By default, a call will be forwarded inside a current connection. You can select another available connection to forward a call.

This option is available only for SIP PBX connection (office or cloud hosted).

Hold music

Here you can select hold music language (English, German, Russian, Ukrainian, Spanish or Portuguese) or you can upload your own music or recordings.

If you want to upload your own music or recording, make sure the file meets these requirements: .mp3, doesn't exceed 2 Mb and mono.
