What is Call Overflow Handling?
Call overflow handling routes calls that your team can’t pick up — because the lines are busy or staff are unavailable — to a backup that answers immediately. With an AI receptionist as overflow, every spillover call is answered in two rings and booked, instead of ringing out to voicemail during your busiest moments.
When overflow matters most
Peak seasons, marketing pushes, and emergencies create call spikes your front desk can’t absorb. AI overflow answers unlimited simultaneous calls, so a heat wave or a viral ad never sends callers to voicemail.
