Send Calls to Voicemail with a Do-Not-Disturb Answering Rule

The Do Not Disturb (DND) feature automatically sends all incoming calls to voicemail, allowing you to take a break or help you focus without interruptions. DND helps balance accessibility and efficiency, making it essential for any busy professional.

How to Create a New DND Answering Rule 

Identify your Time Frame First! 

Every answering rule must be linked to a time frame. The example below uses an Always Time Frame with Always Forward. 

 If you do not have a time frame to link your answering rule with, you must create a new one.

 

Office Managers and Call Center Supervisors must be in My Account to access their Answering Rules. 

  1. From the Sonar portal, click the Answering Rules tab.
  2. Click the Add Rule button. 
    You can also edit an existing rule by clicking the pencil icon next to the name. 
  3. In the popup window:
    1. Select a preexisting time frame. 
    2. Click the checkbox next to Do Not Disturb. 
    3.  Click Save.
  4. Prioritize your DND answering rule: use the arrow sliders to move the desired answering rule to the top of the list.

Pro Tip! 

You can identify which answering rule has DND enabled by the minus-circle icon.
