5 Steps to Live AI Telephone Forwarding

Here is the streamlined path to wire up your logic and get your phones ringing instantly:

  1. Secure your Subscription: Pick the basic plan that fits your volume needs to activate SIP functionality at mediasfu.com/subscription.
  2. Integrate AI Credentials: Head to your dashboard at mediasfu.com/dashboard#ai-credentials. This is where you bring your preferred LLM and processing capabilities to the table. Attach your keys (e.g., OpenAI, Deepgram, Anthropic, ElevenLabs) securely so our orchestration engine can bridge them dynamically.
  3. Connect Phone Numbers: Next, register or bring your desired phone lines via mediasfu.com/dashboard#sip-configs. These are the inbound channels your end-customers will dial.
  4. Toggle Call Bridging: Access your room or event configurations at mediasfu.com/dashboard#events-settings. Verify that sipSupport or sip Enabled is explicitly turned ON so regular telephone calls instantly bridge into your MediaSFU voice parameters.
  5. Anchor the Trunk Settings: Configure how MediaSFU interacts with your SIP trunk provider. Follow the targeted guides at mediasfu.com/telephony to finalize the network handshake.

Once those steps are mapped, you can immediately test-dial the newly added numbers. The designated AI parameters engage, answering the call automatically utilizing the orchestration pathways provided.

The Missing Piece: Internal Call Control Interface

Since the end-customer simply picks up a telephone, they need zero onboarding. But internally, your owner or management team needs a way to view, audit, log, and even actively control these interactions.

Because you are likely utilizing a modern stack like React, we offer three tailored ways to deliver that robust backend visibility directly to your team:

🚀

Option 1: Lite Dashboard

Zero development. Access our robust B2C consumer interface at mediasfu.com/lite/calls. Instantly monitor live rings, review real-time history, and gauge interaction lengths.

🧩

Option 2: Embedded Widgets

Using mediasfu.com/widgets, construct an out-of-the-box UI component and embed it safely inside a protected React route, giving your internal users access from your natively branded CRM portal.

🛠️

Option 3: Total Custom Control

Download our complete, ready-to-branch React Voice-Over-IP template at GitHub. Fork the codebase, completely personalize the CSS overlay, and wire up complex, specific manual "Take Control" overrides exactly how you envision.
