How to forward Quo (OpenPhone) calls to your AI receptionist
Quo, formerly OpenPhone, forwards calls from its call flow builder. Choose Forward all calls to send every call to your InsertChat routing number, add a Forward call step after Ring users for missed calls, or put it on the after-hours path of a Business hours step.

Forward to your routing number
Choose when calls forward, then follow your provider’s steps to send them to the private routing number InsertChat creates. Never publish that number.
03
Verify with a test call
InsertChat places a verification call. For unanswered-or-busy forwarding, let it ring without answering so your provider’s rule can forward it.
What happens after calls arrive
AI receptionist
InsertChat answers your business calls from your own services, hours, and prices. It books appointments on your calendar and brings in your team, full transcript attached, when a person should follow up.

After-hours answering
Your team’s phones ring while you’re open. After hours, or whenever nobody picks up, the AI receptionist answers, books the visit, and flags emergencies to your team.

Explore Shared inboxQuo puts no limit on forwarded calls, but each forwarded call uses two call legs and counts double toward your Quo usage. Check your Quo plan before you forward every call.
Yes. Quo says forwarded calls keep the original caller’s number as caller ID, so the conversation in InsertChat shows the customer’s number instead of your Quo number.
Yes. Put a Forward call step after Ring users as the fallback. Quo notes the Forward call step is the last step before voicemail and forwards can’t be chained, so keep the routing number as the only forward on that path.
The first active line is included with your InsertChat plan; additional lines are $10 per month plus voice minutes. Your phone provider may also count forwarded calls against your plan, so check your plan with them.
Choose Another provider during setup. Ask your provider to forward all calls, or unanswered and busy calls, to your private routing number, keep caller ID passthrough on when offered, and make carrier voicemail ring longer than the forwarding timeout.
