Auto-Attendent

The Auto Attendant serves as an automated receptionist that answers the phone and provides a personalised message to callers with options for connecting to the operator, dialing by name or extension, or connecting to up to nine configurable extensions (e.g., 1 = Marketing, 2 = Sales, etc.). Configuration via the Group web interface also allows for hours of operation to be modified, with different options available for hours that the company is open or closed. Group Administrators use their voice portal to record auto attendant greetings. For example, a message may be left remotely to indicate that the office has been closed due to inclement weather. In addition, users have the ability to record their name for play back when a caller dials by name or extension. A group can have multiple Auto Attendants configured, either individually (e.g., customer service with separate business hours) or integrated into a multilevel Auto Attendant (e.g., enterprise’s main Auto Attendant is configured to seamlessly route to the Auto Attendant of a particular department or location).
