This article provides information about number templates and how to set them up.

Overview

The Number Template list is where you can make phone number templates. A phone number template is a tool you can use to apply and modify configurations to multiple phone numbers at once. For example, update the routing settings from sending phone calls to someone’s extension to a specific queue.

When you create a phone number with a template, any change made to the template will apply to all phone numbers created from the template.
