Telephony - User Groups is a support or sales line: several seated users, one extension, a ring order you pick. Transfer type User group and inbound / trunk defaults pick the group by name.

This is a destination, not how the AI answers inbound. Inbound still lands on an agent (or a trunk default). The agent then hands off to the group - or a route points at the group directly.

Telephony User Groups empty state
tel-groupsExpand

Empty state: No user groups yet - Create a user group to ring several users on one extension — perfect for a support line or a sales team. Button: + New user group.

Open + New user group:

NameREQUIRED
What Transfer and the routing prompt should say (“Support”, “Billing”).
ExtensionREQUIRED
The short number. It appears on Active directory.
Ring strategy
Ring all, or other strategies (in order / rotating). Help text: how members are rung — all at once, in order, or rotating.
Ring timeout (s)
How long to ring before giving up / falling back.
Enabled
When off, calls to this extension are not routed to the group.
When should the AI transfer here?
Shown to the AI agent so it knows when to send callers here. Only used when at least one member is online.
Members
Seated users from Active directory / Team and access.

I cannot add members

There are no seated users left to add, or none exist. Invite or seat them under Team and access, then come back.

The agent cannot pick this group

Create and Enable the group first. Then add it on Transfer or turn Allow any destination on.
