This article walks you through the basic steps for building a 1-to-1 call routing profile in AccuRoute®. 1-to-1 call routing sends a call directly to a single number you specify, compared to sending it to a group of numbers.

Why You Should Use 1-to-1 Call Routing Profiles

Within AccuRoute, routing profiles define the flow of logic and prompts that a call will progress through for an inbound number. This ensures your calls automatically get to the right spot.

A routing profile consists of a logical set of actions linked together to define the flow of a phone call. Building a routing profile can be as simple or as complex as needed. This includes a wide range of routing rules from simply ringing a target number to geo-routing, multiple menus, keyed responses, and API calls all while routing differently based on the time of day.

Please note, your targets and groups must be created prior to building your routing profile. Learn how to set up call routing targets here, and how to create groups here.
