4. How Inbound & Outbound Dialer Routing Works
-
Outbound calls/texts/voicemails: Display the assigned Buyer’s Agent or Listing Agent Dialer Number, never your personal phone
-
Inbound calls/texts:
-
Sierra matches the caller ID to a registered lead
-
If matched, the communication is routed to the assigned agent
-
If reassigned later, future calls from that lead will route to the new assigned agent
-
5. Unlock Additional Voice & Text Features
Once verified, access more tools in the Voice and Text tab:

-
Use Voice Message Templates → Using the Voice Messages Manager
