What is the process of importing numbers from call tracking metrics?

The short answer is that you can place the call tracking metric number into CallRail, allowing it to forward your calls to the appropriate tracking metric number. There is no need to perform a complex migration process. Simply use the number as a forwarding number to direct incoming calls where they need to go.

Full Explanation

Importing numbers from call tracking metrics can be simplified by integrating them directly into a system like CallRail. Instead of migrating data or numbers into a new system, you can input the call tracking metric number into CallRail, which will then forward the calls to the specified call tracking metric number. This method eliminates the need for a traditional migration and ensures continuity and accuracy in tracking.

Step-by-Step Breakdown

  1. Identify the call tracking metric number: This is the number associated with your current call tracking system.
  2. Enter this number into CallRail: Use CallRail’s interface to input the tracking number as a forwarding number.
  3. Set forwarding destinations: Configure where the forwarded calls should be routed, ensuring calls reach the intended endpoints.
  4. Test the forwarding setup: Make sure that calls are correctly forwarded and tracked without any disruptions.

Real Examples

If you already have a call tracking number from another metric system, you can simply use that number in CallRail to forward incoming calls. For instance, if your calls are tracked by another platform, just set up CallRail with that number so calls forward there directly, maintaining tracking without complicated transfers.

Common Mistakes

  • Attempting to migrate call tracking numbers unnecessarily rather than using forwarding.
  • Failing to set the forwarding destination correctly, causing calls to be lost or misrouted.
  • Not testing the call forwarding setup, leading to tracking inaccuracies.

FAQs

Do I need to migrate my call tracking numbers into CallRail?
No, it is not necessary to migrate numbers. You can place the existing call tracking metric number into CallRail to forward calls.

Can I use call tracking numbers from other systems?
Yes, you can use numbers from other call tracking systems as forwarding numbers in CallRail.

Key Takeaways

  • Placing the call tracking metric number into CallRail allows for seamless call forwarding.
  • This process avoids the need for complex migrations or transfers.
  • Forwarding numbers ensures calls are routed correctly while maintaining tracking.
