How to Manage Calls on Jolt

In today’s fast-paced world, managing your phone calls effectively is crucial for maintaining productivity and peace of mind. Jolt’s "Manage Calls" feature offers a seamless way to control who can reach you, when they can do so, and how calls are handled. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to utilize this powerful feature.

Getting Started with Manage Calls

To start using the "Manage Calls" feature on Jolt, follow these steps:

1. Open the Jolt app.
2. Navigate to the Menu.
3. Select "Manage Calls."

Creating a Call Management Profile

The first step in managing your calls is to create a profile that suits your needs. A profile allows you to set specific rules for how incoming calls are handled. Here’s how to set it up:

Step 1: Set Call Handling Rules

You can choose from several options to handle incoming calls:

• Reject Unknown Calls: Automatically reject calls from numbers not saved in your contacts.
• Reject All Calls: Block all incoming calls. Ideal for when you need complete focus or during important meetings.
• Silent Mode: Put all calls on silent mode to avoid interruptions while still receiving notifications.

Step 2: Set Auto-Reply Messages

If you choose to reject calls, you can set up an auto-reply message that will be sent to the caller. This is particularly useful for letting people know when you will be available again. Here’s how to do it:

• Select the "Auto-Reply" option.
• Enter your custom message. For example: "Hi, I’m currently unavailable. I will return your call after [specific time]. Thank you for your understanding."

Step 3: Set Duration for Call Management

You can specify how long you want the call management profile to be active:

• 1 Hour
• 30 Minutes
• Custom Timing: Set a specific duration based on your needs.

Activating Your Call Management Profile

Once your profile is set up, you can activate it immediately or schedule it for later. When the profile is active, Jolt will automatically manage incoming calls based on your settings.

Example Use Cases

During Meetings

Activate the "Reject All Calls" profile with an auto-reply message: "Hi, I’m currently in a meeting. I will return your call after 3 PM."

During Focus Hours

Use the "Silent Mode" profile to ensure you remain undisturbed while working on important tasks.

When Unavailable

Activate the "Reject Unknown Calls" profile with a custom auto-reply message for unknown callers: "Hi, I’m currently unavailable. Please leave a message or try again later."
