How Do I Change the Greeting in My Auto Attendant?

Auto Attendants

Auto Attendants give your Domain the ability to share information and/or give your caller choices before routing the call to you.   We will set up all of your Auto Attendants for you initially.  After the Auto Attendant(s) are created, you will have the ability to adjust the Greetings and options of the Auto Attendant. 
  1. The Menu Prompt Greeting is the Main Greeting for the Auto Attendant. It will play any time that your Auto Attendant is set to be used in the Call Routing. 


How Do I Change or Update the Main Auto Attendant Greeting?

The Menu Prompt Greeting is the Main Greeting for the Auto Attendant. It will play any time that your Auto Attendant is set to be used in the Call Routing. 

Instructions
  1. While in your Manager View, click the Auto Attendants Tab. 
    1. You must be in your Manager View to change the Domain's Auto Attendant settings.  If you are not in your Manager View, click Manage Organization or Manage Call Center to toggle.


  2. Choose your Auto Attendant from the list by clicking it. 

  3. You will have the option to play, download, and/or edit the current Menu Prompt greeting. 


  4. Click the Manage Audio edit pencil. 


  5. Your Greeting options will open in a new window.  You may set up a Greeting by using:
    1. Text-to-Speech:  Type out your message. Choose your Voice and click the Play icon to listen to it. Adjust the message if needed. Save.

    2. Upload:  Upload a previously recorded Greeting by clicking Browse. Choose the file.  Type in a Description. Click Upload. 
    3. Record:  You may have our system call you so that you can live-record a Greeting.  Type in a Description. Type in your Extension or phone number, and then click Call.
       
      1. You also have the option of dialing the star code to Record instead.  If you dial the star code from your Extension, you will be able to live record the new Greeting for this Auto Attendant. 
      2. The Star Code is specific to your Domain, Auto Attendant, and Greeting.  The Star Code does not change. You may use the Star Code at a later time to edit the same Auto Attendant Greeting.



What If I Have a Timed Intro Greeting for a Special?

These types of Greetings are primarily used in Restaurants and similar businesses to play a daily special at a particular time.   
  1. We will set up these Intro Greetings initially and will do all updates for you. 

  2. It is recommended that if an Intro Greeting need to be deleted/removed, that you allow Clarity to remove the Greeting.  Incorrect removal of an Intro Greeting can cause the Auto Attendant to not play a Greeting at all or fail to route the call.
