# How do I create a group?

{% hint style="info" %}
The function *Groups* is **only available to customers on sipgate classic** is available. On sipgate neo, it is integrated in a different form.
{% endhint %}

#### **Create a group**

In your sipgate account, as an admin you can combine multiple users, e.g. from a department or a project, into groups. Each group you create can be linked to its own phone number or extension. To create a group, go to the [group management](https://app.sipgate.com/groups). There you can use the button **Add group** to add new groups to the account.

You can then assign each group a suitable name. If you click on a created group, you can use the menu item **Participants** to add and remove users. For technical reasons, the number of users in a group is limited to 20.

Via the **group routing** you finally determine which phone number is assigned to the group and which devices ring when a call comes in on the group number. Here you have the option of linking multiple devices, to which the call is forwarded simultaneously.

#### **More settings**

If you want callers to be greeted with a **personal announcement** you can create a [**custom greeting** ](https://help.sipgate.de/hc/de/articles/4403553543313)This allows you to carry your individual branding over to your phone system as well.

By activating a [**queue** ](https://help.sipgate.de/hc/de/articles/4403342071313)callers can be handled during high call volumes and connected as soon as users in the group become available.

Similar to user routing, groups can also be equipped with [**time-based routings**](https://help.sipgate.de/hc/de/articles/4407400044433) Using time profiles, you are able to route calls to different phone numbers at different times.

In addition, groups also have their own [**Fax**](https://help.sipgate.de/hc/de/articles/4408910352529-Fax-f%C3%BCr-Gruppen-anlegen)fax device

For each group there is also a separate [**event list**](https://help.sipgate.de/hc/de/articles/4403663747985)**.** This is shared with all group members. Here you have the option to add notes to individual events, e.g. completed callbacks for missed calls, which are visible to all members of the group.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.sipgate.de/cloud-telefonanlage/en/account-management/gruppen-und-user/wie-lege-ich-eine-gruppe-an.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
