Twilio Studio allows you to drag and drop widgets to build a number of different Programmable Voice call flows. Here are steps for creating a simple call forwarding flow, and configuring it for use on your Twilio number.
Create a Call Forwarding Flow
- Access the Studio Flows page in Console.
- Click the blue + sign icon to create a new flow.
- Enter the desired name, and then click Next.
- Select
Call Forwarding
, and then click Next. - Click the forward_call widget, and then add the destination number you want calls to be forwarded in the Config tab settings on the right.
NOTE: We recommend using E.164 formatting for this number, which requires a + sign, followed by the country code, area code, and phone number. Check our Lookup tool if you’re unsure.
- Scroll to the bottom of the Config tab, and then click Save.
- Click Publish at the top of the Studio Flow.
