  3. Select an extension that uses a hunt group in its inbound behavior.
  4. Locate the step in the inbound actions that is set to “Ring a Hunt Group”.

  6. Click Submit at the bottom of the Inbound Behavior page to save the changes.

Now when the hunt group is used in the extension’s inbound behavior the call will hear the audio mix instead of the classic ring.
