Auto Attendant (IVR)

Auto Attendant is your virtual receptionist or IVR, that can greet all inbound calls and direct the caller to the department they requirer. Example: "Welcome to Our Company if you would like to speak to our customer service team press one, accounts press two...."

With Auto Attendant you can:

• Use time schedules to set when your auto attendant in be active.

• Set a time for response time, before the Auto Attend message replays.

• Choose how many times to replay Auto Attend message, before the calls get directed to the number Auto Attend is set up on.

• Create a greeting only. Limit the Auto Attendant to a greeting message then use the call forward to route the call once the greeting message completes (see simple Quick Guide - Greeting Only).
