The Greeting, or Intro, is the first message a caller will hear when reaching the Auto Attendant. When setting up your greeting, remember that it is simple to set different messages for different time frames or circumstances, such as:
The Recorded Name list is what callers will hear when they search your company’s directory. Text to Speech allows you to automatically set up your directory by simply typing it out as a part of your voicemail greeting set-up. This will allow callers to easily access the correct office or employee from a clear list of names.
Text to Speech is also available to use when creating an introductory greeting message that callers entering the queue will hear. As this message plays before callers are put on hold, it is perfect for making important announcements, like:
Message to Agent allows you to send messages to agents in a call queue that will be read to the agent as they answer a call from the queue. This is a simple-to-set-up and efficient way to remind agents of specific promos to share with clients as they answer the phone.
Text to Speech is already included in your Simplicity service for all of your users at no additional cost to you ⎼ no need to hire an outside firm to record your messages.
