How do I set up call forwarding or routing to multiple numbers in MyOperator?

Quick Answer

You can forward an incoming call to several agents by adding each destination phone as a User, grouping those users in a Department, choosing Serial-wise, Balanced, or Simultaneous distribution, and then linking that Department inside your Callflow; true parallel ringing needs as many purchased channel lines as the number of phones rung at once.

1. Overview of Multi-Number Forwarding

All forwarding and routing is done inside the MyOperator web panel. First you create Users for every receiving number, then you attach those Users to a Department and select a Call Distribution Method. The three available methods are:

  • Serial-wise (Sequential): MyOperator rings agents one after another in the ordered sequence you set.
  • Balanced Call Distribution: Each new call is offered to the next available agent so that work is shared evenly.
  • Simultaneous / Parallel Calling: Every mapped agent’s phone rings at the same moment until one answers.

Simultaneous ringing consumes one channel line per ringing phone. If you ring five agents at once you need five active channels; a two-channel plan can only ring two phones in parallel.

2. Step-by-Step Configuration for Admins/Owners

  1. Log in to your dashboard at in.app.myoperator.com with an Admin or Owner account.
  2. Open Manage Users and click Add New. Enter the agent’s Name, Work Email, Mobile Number and Extension, choose their User Role, set any Working Hours schedule and click Save. Repeat this step for every destination number.
  3. Go to Manage Departments and click Add New, or click Edit on an existing department. Under Users, tick every agent that should receive forwarded calls. In Department Settings open Callflow options, pick Serial-wise, Balanced, or Simultaneous, drag agents to set Serial priority if needed, set Ringing Time (the default is 25 seconds, the minimum allowed is 10 seconds) and click Save.
  4. Navigate to Call Design > Callflow, edit your Primary Call Flow, map an IVR keypress or direct route to the Department you just configured and click Publish Confirm.

3. When to Contact Support

If simultaneous ringing does not trigger, if calls rotate incorrectly, or if calls drop before any agent answers, gather the following and reach out:

  • Email support@myoperator.com or call 08129-81029 (alternate 092129 92129).
  • Provide your Business Account Number (BAN) or Service Number.
  • Mention the Department Name and the Call Distribution Method you selected.
  • Attach four to five plain-text Call UIDs from recent failed test calls.

4. What Support & Account Managers Do Internally

After a forwarding-related ticket arrives, MyOperator staff follow a fixed workflow:

  1. Support Team Verification and Guided Diagnostics
    • Validate the account’s BAN or Service Number and confirm that every intended receiver is correctly assigned in Manage Departments.
    • Audit each agent’s Call Availability switch and check that the call falls within their configured time shift.
    • Provide live configuration help by scheduling a Google Meet screen share when necessary.
  2. Account Manager Hand-off and Channel Line Expansion
    • Because every simultaneous call leg consumes one channel, Support checks whether the client’s plan covers the requested concurrency and whether they have remaining User Seats.
    • If more channels or seats are required, Support tags the assigned Account Manager (AM). The AM contacts the client to arrange commercial upgrades, additional channel lines, user seat add-ons.
  3. Escalation to Internal Tech Support
    • If channel capacity, agent availability, and route settings are all verified yet calls still fail, Support raises a Child Ticket in Zoho Desk or emails tech.support@myoperator.co.
    • The ticket must include the client’s BAN, Service Number, Department ID, chosen distribution pattern, all diagnostic steps already completed, and four to five recent failed Call UIDs.
    • Typical escalation triggers are telecom trunking distribution errors or backend call-routing sync failures.
