What is call screening?

GoTo Connect offers inbound call filters. Call filters allow calls to be routed based on the incoming caller ID. For example, if you have a spam caller, you can choose for your phone to terminate the call as soon as it hits the system or you can choose for it to play a brief "blacklisted” message and then terminate the call. Alternatively, VIP clients can be directed straight to your line without going through an auto-attendant or receptionist first. Unlimited call filtering settings allow you to customize these options for as many specific numbers as desired. You can also use Do Not Disturb to manually send callers directly to your voicemail.

The benefits of call screening

Increase productivity and efficiently route callers to their correct connection.

Virtual Receptionist Capabilities

You can't always have a live receptionist available in the office to answer and screen every call. With GoTo Connect, you can screen calls 24/7 and move callers to the right phone extension.

Block Unnecessary Calls

No one wants to waste time handling spam calls and robocalls when there are customers and prospects that might be calling. Call filters can identify and block these types of calls, to let you work interrupted.

Enable Digital Interactions

Today's work environment isn't always in the same physical location. To empower remote teams and scattered offices, GoTo Connect handles call filtering digitally, through an online portal that can be accessed from anywhere.

Enhance the Customer Experience

It's important to answer calls as quickly as possible so customers don't wait on hold. You can use call filters to field these calls, identify important ones, and move them quickly to their intended endpoint.

Why choose GoTo Connect?

GoTo Connect's cloud-based PBX system handles all your communication needs through advanced technology for one simple price.

Shared Line Appearance (SLA)

Shared line appearance allows multiple phones to share a single extension. This makes it easy to move calls between phones, intercept calls, and place callers on hold for a shared participant to pick up.

An assistant might use SLA to see their boss's line on their desk phone. That way, they can screen the boss's calls. The phone display reveals who is calling, and can identify if it's a robocall. The assistant can place calls on hold while checking to see if it's a call the boss wants. The boss gets protected from handling unnecessary phone interruptions.

Visual Dial Plan Editor

The GoTo Connect Visual Dial Plan Editor lets you map out your call flows visually using a drag-and-drop canvas. Map where incoming calls will go by using wait times, auto-attendants, voicemail boxes, sound clips, HTTP notify nodes, ring groups, modify caller ID nodes, and more. Different call patterns can be set for variable work hours, after hours, or holiday hours.

By logging into the GoTo Connect online portal from any computer, you can make changes in real-time to your dial plans for phone lines on any device (including Android, Pixel 2, Pixel 3, Pixel 4, and iPhone).

Automated answering and call routing

Automated answering provides assistance for callers even when an employee is not there or is on another call. Call routing helps get calls connected to the correct endpoint. When used together, through our easy Visual Dial Plan Editor, these features can take over everything from declining spam and robocalls to directing customers to voicemail or an available representative.
