Update settings for an AI Receptionist
Last updated: 2026-05-15
Update the general settings of an AI Receptionist — its name, the DID it answers, the language and voice profile, and the call-handling defaults — so it keeps up with how your business actually operates.
Prerequisites
If you want external callers to reach the receptionist directly on a number, you've already configured DIDs on the trunk that owns that number.
Open the Settings tab
- 1
Open the receptionist
Go to AI → AI Receptionist and click the receptionist you want to edit.
- 2
Switch to Settings
The Settings tab is grouped into Basic, Voice, Call Handling, and Advanced.
Settings reference
Basic
- Name — internal label for the receptionist; shown in CDR and reports.
- Direct DID — one or more DID numbers (already mapped to a trunk) that ring this receptionist directly.
- Extension number — internal number staff can dial to reach the receptionist.
Voice
- Default language — the language the greeting is spoken in. Other languages are still detected automatically.
- Voice profile — pick from the Drömlik voice library.
- Speech rate — slow, normal, or fast.
Call handling
- Max call duration — hard cap (in minutes) on a single AI conversation.
- Inactivity timeout — how many seconds of silence before the receptionist prompts the caller or hangs up.
- On failure — what to do when the AI cannot complete the call (transfer to an operator, send to voicemail, hang up).
