Call Flows

WebWorkstation

Use Admin > ZynoTalk > Call Flows to build how inbound calls move through menus, ring groups, voicemail, recordings, time conditions, and other ZynoTalk destinations.

Admin Access Required

Only ZynoTalk administrators should create or edit call flows.

Call Flows show inbound routing designs before opening the visual builder for detailed edits.

Page Layout

The Call Flows table shows:

  • Extension
  • Name
  • Nodes
  • In Use

Select a call flow to open the builder. Open the row context menu to edit or delete a flow.

The toolbar can also show Continue Editing when an unsaved draft exists.

Create A Call Flow

  1. Open Admin > ZynoTalk > Call Flows.
  2. Select New Call Flow.
  3. Enter a Name.
  4. Enter an optional Extension if the flow should be reachable internally.
  5. Select Create.
  6. Use the builder to add and connect nodes.
  7. Select Validate to check the flow.
  8. Select Save.

The extension is checked before the builder opens. If the extension is already used by an extension, ring group, or another call flow, choose a different extension.
