      Auto Attendant - IVR

      Auto Attendant is your virtual receptionist or IVR, that can greet inbound callers and direct them to the department they require. Example: Thanks for calling, if you would like to speak to customer service press 1, press 2 for accounts..

      With Auto Attendant you can:

      • Use time schedules to set when your auto attendant will 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 Quick Guide – Greeting Only).
