Configuring Voicemail Transcriptions (Legacy)

Note: These instructions are applicable to Classic Inbound Routing. To know how to activate voicemail transcriptions with Studio, please refer to our documentation.

 

Talkdesk allows admins to enable voicemail transcriptions on their accounts with only a few clicks. When this feature is enabled, Talkdesk will compile the voicemail transcripts into the contact’s activity feed, along with the voicemail data.

Getting transcripts of voicemails can save you time, since you can screen them more quickly.

Once enabled, you can view the transcripts next to the recording in the Voicemails section, or on the contact's activity tab in the Contacts section: Voicemail_Transcriptions_1.png

You can also send email notifications to the recipients of your choice when a voicemail transcript is received. To do this, configure Email Notifier. Or you can configure an automated task filter to only send an email with a voicemail transcript when the voicemail was received outside of business hours.
