Avoiding Call Loops when routing calls to Internal Phone Numbers

Overview

Good news! Accommador gives you the flexibility to use your Accommador (ACCOMMADOR) phone number across different parts of your account, including as your business phone number and in advanced call routing setups. This allows experienced users to design custom call flows that fit their specific use cases. That said, certain configurations, such as using a ACCOMMADOR phone number as a call forwarding destination, can unintentionally create call loops if not set up correctly.

These loops may cause some calls to fail or disconnect. To help you stay informed without limiting your flexibility, Accommador now displays a warning message in places where using a ACCOMMADOR phone number could potentially lead to call issues. This way, you can proceed confidently while understanding the possible impact of your setup.
