Call Setup
At Ringo we want to give you the simplest and most flexible calling experience. This guide explains how to adjust your call settings, including the AI Call Assistant. We also included some useful tips so you can make the most of these unique functionalities.
Call First Responder Setup

When a call comes in, you can choose whether it rings your team first or goes directly to your AI Call assistant. You can also set a timeout so the call is handed to AI if no one answers in time.
If you select:
Team Members - The call rings your team first. If no one answers or the timeout ends, it is handed over to the AI assistant.
AI Assistant - The AI answers the call, any team member can still join the call at any time.
Ring Timeout - Choose how many seconds the call should ring before the AI takes over. You can set it between 10 and 60 seconds.
