Call forwarding guide
How to forward Weave phone calls to an AI agent
Weave forwards from the Weave app. An override sends every call to another number right away; a call route forwards as one step of your main line — after hours, for example.
Every call (an override)
- In the Weave desktop app, go to Calls → Settings → Overrides and click + Create Override. (Mobile app: Settings → Phone → Override, then pick the call route.)
- Choose Forward Call and enter your AI agent's number. Add start and end times if you only want it for a while.
- Save. Calls now go straight to your AI agent.
- To stop, click Edit Override in the yellow banner, or delete it under Settings → Phone → Overrides.
After hours (your call route)
- Go to Settings → Phone → Call Routes and open your route, such as Main Line.
- Add a Phone Hours step if there isn't one, and set your open hours.
- On the Closed branch, click [+] Add step → Forwarding Number, enter your AI agent's number and set the Ring Duration.
- Click Done, then Save Changes — nothing saves until you do.
Good to know
- Your AI agent's number is on your Phonefront dashboard.
- One override can be active per location. Overrides need the Super Admin or Advanced Team Member role; call routes need Admin.
- A call route runs its steps in order, so a Forwarding Number step placed after your Call Group step takes the calls your team doesn't pick up. Weave support can check the order with you.
- Weave's Forwarded Caller ID setting shows one of your office numbers. Ask Weave whether it can pass the caller's own number instead — your AI agent uses it to text links and recognise returning customers.
- After setting it up, call your business number from another phone to check it reaches your AI agent.

Questions
Weave forwarding questions
What's the quickest way to send Weave calls to my AI agent?
An override: Calls → Settings → Overrides → + Create Override → Forward Call, with your AI agent's number. It takes effect straight away, and you can give it an end time.
Will my AI agent see who's calling when Weave forwards the call?
It should, if Weave is set to pass the caller's number through. That matters: your AI agent texts payment links and order updates to that number and uses it to recognise returning customers. If forwarded calls show your office number instead, change the caller ID setting on the forward.
