Announcements
Announcements are played to callers waiting to be answered. For a hunt group, this includes both
callers ringing at an agent and still queued.
• If no voicemail channel is available for an announcement, the announcement is not played.
• Calls can be answered during the announcement.
• If a call is rerouted to a hunt group's
Night Service Destination
or
Out of Service
Destination
, the announcements settings of the new destination are applied.
• If a call overflows, the announcements of the original group are still applied, not those of the
overflow group.
• For announcements configured for hunt groups to be used effectively, the hunt group's
Voicemail Answer Time
must be extended or
Voicemail On
must be unselected.
• For announcements configured for users to be used effectively, the user's
No Answer Time
must be extended or
Voicemail On
must be unselected.
