Overview
This guide describes a workaround for forwarding unanswered calls in GoHighLevel to an AI assistant — a feature not directly available in GHL. This setup uses Twilio numbers and If-Else logic to route missed calls.Setup Steps
Set Up Twilio Numbers
- Assign a primary Twilio number (or LeadConnector number) for the human agent
- Purchase a second number in your AI Assistant Dashboard for the AI fallback
Configure Phone Settings in GHL
- Set the primary number as the user’s inbound number
- Configure a call timeout (e.g., 20 seconds) before the call is considered unanswered
Create Forwarding Workflow
In GHL Automations, create a workflow called “Unanswered Call Forwarding”:
- If call is answered → End workflow
- If call status is “no answer” → Route to AI assistant number
Add AI as Fallback User
Set up the AI assistant as a user in GHL with its assigned phone number, so it can receive forwarded calls.
