Can I create or enable any followup rules?
Short answer: Yes, if you’re an Admin. Admins can create, enable/disable, and edit Follow-Up rules; standard Users can only work the follow-ups they receive (assign to self, add notes, snooze, complete, or transfer).
Who can do what
- Admins: Create, enable/disable, and edit Follow-Up rules; set conditions (e.g., missed calls, voicemail, department) and assignment (to a user or department).
- Users (non-Admin): Cannot create/modify rules. Can assign to self, add notes, snooze, transfer, and complete follow-ups.
Prerequisites
- Role: You’re signed in as an Admin.
- Feature: Follow-Up is available on your plan.
- Routing context: Relevant Departments and Users already exist and are active.
- Where: MyOperator web dashboard.
Follow-Up rule = an automation that creates and assigns a follow-up when certain call conditions are met (e.g., Missed call to Support → Create follow-up for Support).
Create a new Follow-Up rule
- Go to Calls → Follow-Up in the dashboard.
- Open Rules (or Enable Rules / Add New Rule).
- Click Add New Rule.
- Name the rule (e.g., Missed Call — Support).
- Set conditions, such as:
- Event: Missed call or Voicemail created
- Department: e.g., Support or Sales
- (Optional) Time window or business hours (if available in your account)
- Assignment: Choose Assign to Department or Assign to User.
- (Optional) Due/SLA or reminder settings (if available).
- Click Save and toggle the rule On/Enabled.

Enable/disable or edit an existing rule
- Go to Calls → Follow-Up → Rules.
- Use the toggle to Enable/Disable a rule.
- Click Edit to update conditions or assignment, then Save.
Verify the rule works
- Trigger a test that meets your conditions (e.g., place a missed call to the Support department number).
- Go to Calls → Follow-Up → My/All and confirm a new follow-up appears with the expected assignee.
- Open the call timeline/logs to confirm the rule name (or follow-up creation event) is recorded.
Expected result: A follow-up is created automatically and assigned per your rule.
Common edge cases & tips
- Wrong assignee? Check the rule’s assignment target (User/Department) and ensure targets are active.
- Multiple rules might apply: If your account supports rule ordering/priority, place the most specific rules above broader ones.
- Low volume? If no item appears, your test didn’t match the conditions (e.g., called a different department).
- Users can’t see rules: That’s expected; only Admins can manage them.
