How to forward calls to Hunt Groups and seats in the Customer Administration Portal

3. Locate the Hunt Group you wish to affect and click Edit
4. On the top right side of the new window is a section labeled Call Forwarding Options
5. Enter the number or extension where you would like to forward the calls in the Destination Number field. This can be a ten digit number outside of your network or an internal extension.
6. You can also set how many seconds the users have to accept the call in the field above. This has to be a positive value, but 1 second will virtually forward it instantly.

Call Forwarding Conditions

Call Forwarding Always	Diverts the call to the destination number immediately upon presentation.
Call Forwarding Busy	Diverts the call only if the line is busy (handling three concurrent calls, or is in Do Not Disturb mode). By default this will go to the Busy greeting of the voicemail.
Call Forwarding No Answer	Diverts the call if it is not answered within the designated number of rings. By default this will go to the No Answer greeting of the voicemail.
Call Forwarding Not Reachable	Diverts the call if all established endpoints for the seat are offline. You can learn more about Call Forwarding Not Reachable in our Disaster Management article.
