When no agent is available to answer a call, the caller will be redirected to voicemail and the "Voicemail / Not Answered Message" will play (even when voicemail is disabled and the caller is not allowed to leave a recording).
To customize the Voicemail Message your callers hear, please follow these instructions:
- Log in to your Talkdesk account as an administrator.
- Select the 'Admin' section [1].
- Click on the 'Numbers' tab [2], on the left-hand side.
- Click on the phone number for which you would like to configure the customized voicemail message [3].
- Select the 'Greetings' tab [4].
- Scroll down until you see 'Voicemail / Not Answered Message' [5].
- Add a new message by following the steps below:
- Click the 'Add New Message' [6] link. Or, you can choose an already existing message [7].
- Assign a name by typing it into the box next to 'Message Name' [8]. This will be the label applied to your Voicemail / Not Answered Message in Talkdesk and will be shown in the dropdown list. Callers will not hear this message name.
- If you would like to type in a message to be converted to an audio voicemail message to play to callers, select 'Text to Speech' [9] and type your message next to the box labeled 'Message' [10].
- Alternatively, if you have a pre-recorded message that you would like to play to callers, select 'Upload File' and click the 'Choose File' button. Talkdesk currently supports mp3 and wav file types. If you have a file saved in another format, you can convert it to a format we support by using this tool.
- 'Save' your new message [11].
- Once you have finished, select 'Save' at the bottom of the page.
Important: repeat these steps for each required phone number in your account.
