How it's organized

  • Your workspace. Everyone in your organization works in one workspace, with one of three roles: Owner, Admin or Member.
  • Everyday tools for everyone. Phone, Messages, Team Chat, Web Chat, Contacts, Video, Fax and Analytics are in the sidebar for all members. See Finding your way around.
  • Settings for owners and admins. The phone system is configured in Admin → Settings, with an Easy view for the essentials and an Advanced view for everything.
  • Safe changes. Call-routing changes are staged until you apply them, and every applied version can be restored.

Emergency calling comes first

Every extension needs a confirmed emergency (911) address before it can make calls or send texts. Each person confirms their own location the first time their phone connects. See Emergency calling (E911).
