Editing Your Phone Settings

Clear and efficient phone routing helps your customers reach the right department quickly, improves response times, and ensures calls are tracked and logged inside your platform.

 

Who this is for

Admins and Dispatchers who manage call routing, menu options, and phone integrations in MetaFleet.

What you’ll learn

  • Locate and access your phone settings
  • Understand how your business number is managed
  • Create and edit call groups
  • Build and customize your phone tree (menu options)
  • Assign users to call groups for inbound routing

Before you start

  • You must have Admin permission.
  • If you have a MetaFleet-managed phone number, make sure your Twilio integration is active. If you don’t see a phone number under “Company Phone Numbers” - please reach out to your CSM or our Support team (support@metafleet.ai)
  • Confirm that your users are already created and assigned to the right roles.

Quick Summary (TL;DR)

  1. Go to Account Settings → Platform Settings → Account Details → Phone.
  2. Review your assigned number (cannot be edited).
  3. Create or edit Call Groups.
  4. Edit your Menu Options to assign groups to keypresses (2 = Dispatch, 3 = Finance, etc.).
  5. Add a spoken message and save.

Step-by-Step

  1. Navigate to Phone Settings

    Go to Platform Settings → Account Details → Phone.

  2. Review Your Business Number

    If MetaFleet provides your number or ports an existing one, it will appear here. This section cannot be edited since it’s managed by MetaFleet.

  3. Create a Call Group

    Click Add Call Group and enter a descriptive name (e.g., “Operator,” “Dispatch,” “Finance”).

  4. Edit Your Menu Options (Phone Tree)

    Click Edit Menu Options.

    You’ll see predefined options such as:

    • 0 – Enter an extension

    • 1 – Send link to Service Order Request Hub

      Add or edit other options (e.g., 2 = Dispatch, 3 = Finance, 4 = Support, 9 = Operator).

  5. Assign Call Groups to Menu Options

    In the Menu Options panel, match each number with a group. Example:

    • Press 2 → Dispatch Group

    • Press 3 → Finance Group

    • Press 9 → Operator Group

      Click Save when done.

  6. Customize Your Greeting Message

    Add or edit your greeting text. MetaFleet’s AI voice will read this message to callers.

    Tip: Add ellipses (…) between phrases to create natural pauses.

    Example: “Thank you for calling MetaFleet … press 2 for Dispatch … press 9 for the next available representative.”

  7. Save and Test Your Configuration

    Click Save. Test your phone tree by calling your number and verifying each menu option routes correctly.
