Forward only missed calls to your AI receptionist


Set up missed call forwarding to Dialzara


Want your AI receptionist to step in only when you're unavailable? With conditional call forwarding, Dialzara answers calls that you miss — no more voicemail dead ends.


Here’s how it works.


Dialzara will pick up when:


  • Your line is busy
  • You don’t answer in time
  • Your phone is off or out of service


Need every call to go to Dialzara, not just missed ones? Follow this guide instead: Forwarding all your calls to your AI receptionist

  4. Disable Visual Voicemail
