What is Call Overflow – Sequential?
Increase your inbound call answer rate.
Customers expect you to answer the phone quickly. But what happens when you’re busy or can’t pick up in time? That’s where Call Overflow can help. This feature helps you and your team answer more calls and avoid lost opportunities.
When a customer calls, your first answer point will start to ring. If the call isn’t picked up within a set time (for example, five seconds), it gets transferred to a different line. You can set up to five answer points to increase the chance that a team member is available to answer. Send calls to your landline, a mobile, or call centre.
Why use Call Overflow Sequential?
Provide great service even at extremely busy periods.
Avoid lost opportunities
With up to five potential answering points, we divert the call until an available team member picks up. This feature helps you and your team answer more calls and streamline workload.
Always delight your customers
When you make it your goal to answer every single call, your customers notice and it gives your business an unfair competitive advantage. And frankly? It makes your competitors look bad.
Increase team efficiency
Avoid overworking your staff and top performers by smartly diverting the calls to the next available staff member. It is hard to under-perform when the whole team is ready to pick up the phone.
How does it work?
Answer more calls with your existing team.
Who uses Call Overflow Sequential?
Teams and individuals who don’t want to miss a single call.
As a small business, it is important that I don’t miss any potential new customers. Zintel gives me a variety of options so that I can pick up every call or easily follow up when I’m busy

Zintel Customer Case Study
Anna runs a small business that sells cakes. She’s not always in her kitchen to answer calls at the main phone. So she uses Zintel’s overflow product to divert calls to her mobile when her main kitchen number is busy or not answered within 20 seconds.
This means if Anna can’t be get the call on her kitchen’s landline, the call will still come to her via mobile. She also uses Voice to Email to make sure she gets the messages via email if she can’t pick up the phone.
