    Frequently Asked Questions

    How does the auto-attendant work?

    When a caller reaches your business number, they hear a professional greeting and a menu of options. Based on their selection, the call is routed to the correct person, department, or voicemail — all automatically.

    Can I set different greetings for business hours vs. after hours?

    Yes. You can configure separate greetings and routing rules for business hours, after hours, weekends, and holidays. Each time period can have completely different menus and destinations.

    Do I need technical expertise to set it up?

    Not at all. Our visual flow builder lets you drag and drop menu options, set time-based rules, and record greetings from your browser. Pumpkin also provides full setup assistance at no extra charge.

    Can calls be forwarded to cell phones or external numbers?

    Absolutely. Any menu option can route to internal extensions, cell phones, external numbers, or even ring groups that try multiple numbers simultaneously.

    How many menu levels can I create?

    You can create as many levels as you need. Most firms use 2-3 levels to keep the caller experience simple while still routing effectively.
