Set up your first smart line

A practical first-phone-line checklist for AI receptionist, routing, and test calls.

Quick-start checklist

  1. 1

    Open AI Receptionist setup and confirm your business name, service area, and hours.

  2. 2

    Connect or assign a phone number through the phone settings flow.

  3. 3

    Choose where calls should route during business hours and after hours.

  4. 4

    Run the voice demo first, then place a controlled test call when you are ready.

  5. 5

    Check Calls and Leads to confirm the transcript, summary, and lead handoff look right.

Before going live

  • Use accurate business information so callers are not misled.
  • Do not use AI voice for emergency handling unless your routing and escalation rules are verified.
  • Follow Twilio and local consent rules for calls, texts, recordings, and follow-up messages.
