How do I get my calls to PATLive?

Yes, with our FindMe feature, we can try to reach you at up to four different numbers before calls rollover to your PATLive receptionists.
Do calls go to me when my status is set to Available?
One of our live receptionists will always answer your calls first, but when your status is set to Available, we’ll attempt to transfer callers to you when directed to do so in your call handling instructions and/or when callers request to speak with you.
Can I have my calls handled differently across each of the six Unavailable statuses?
Yes, in addition to Available, there are six Unavailable statuses (At Lunch, Away from Desk, In a Meeting, Do Not Disturb, Gone Home and Out of Office) that you can use. Just let us know what you’d like us to do when you’re in each status, and we’ll ensure receptionists handle your calls accordingly.
Can I customize the info you collect when you take a message?
Yes, on Starter plan and up, you can add custom fields to your message template to ensure you get the exact information you need from callers.
Can you enter messages directly into my CRM or other software?
Yes, we can input messages into into any web-based software you’d like us to use
My calls will never be sent to voicemail unless I ask you to, right?

Correct, 100% of your calls will be answered by one of our live receptionists, and we will never send your callers to voicemail unless you direct us to.

However, sometimes customers want their callers to be able to leave a voicemail instead of relaying a message, so we offer both options.
