How to Test Your AI Receptionist

A safe checklist before you publish your forwarding rules.

  1. 1

    From CRM → Calls (or voice settings), confirm the target number and that AI is active.

  2. 2

    Call from a phone not in your CRM to simulate a net-new lead.

  3. 3

    Decline or let ring to forward—listen for greeting clarity and pacing.

  4. 4

    Hang up once data is captured; verify the lead and transcript or summary.

  5. 5

    Retry with a known lead phone to confirm merge behavior.

Tips

  • Test during a quiet window so you can adjust prompts without pressure.
  • If audio quality is poor, check Twilio number region and your forward path.
