Email Address:

You can enter the email address of your contact in this field.

Priority

You can set the priority of a customer so that when two calls come in at the same time, the call with the highest priority will be answered first.

If a caller uses your Toll Free number for example, they will take priority if they are a national caller, over a customer who is local.
