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

1

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
2

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
3

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
4

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.
5

Test

Call the primary number, let it ring past the timeout, and verify the call forwards to the AI assistant.

FAQs

Check that the timeout is correctly configured and the If-Else logic triggers only on “no answer” status.
Yes, configure additional numbers and duplicate the workflow for each user.
