Auto-Attendant Menu

A Menu directs the caller to a message and DTMF (Dual-tone Multi-Frequency, commonly referred to as touchtones) options for call routing based on the key dialed.

First, enter a name for this menu, then continue to upload your prompts.

Prompts

FieldDescription

Intro Prompt

The recorded audio that a caller will hear upon entering the menu.  A .wav file must be imported to before the menu can be saved.

Menu Prompt

The recorded audio that a caller will hear after the introduction prompt has completed. WAV files must be in an 8-bit Mono U-Law file format. A WAV file must be uploaded before the menu can be saved.

Example verbiage: "Thank you for calling Acme Corp. Press 1 for Sales, 2 for Support, or 3 for Billing."

Allow Barge-in

Allow callers to interrupt the Intro prompt by dialing an option (DTMF input) before they hear it.

Allow Extension Dialing

Allow callers to dial their party's extension while the menu options are still playing. After dialing, there will be a two second delay before the call is routed.

If "Allow Barge-in" is also enabled, callers can interrupt the Intro prompt as well. Because an extension may start with the same number as a menu option, there will be a two second delay after a number is dialed before the call is transferred. If the dialed extension is invalid, the caller will hear an error message and the call will end.

Menu Options

Add DTMF (touchtone) options (0-9, *, #).  Each option will need a name and a completed route.

  1. Click [+ Add Option]
  2. Select the DTMF option (0-9,*, or #).
  3. Enter a name for the menu option. 
  4. Repeat steps 1-3 for other menu options.
