Adding hunt group announcements
You can add recorded announcements to a hun t group queue. Use announcements
to encourage callers to stay on the line or to provi d e ca llers with information. You
can define how long a call remains in the queue before the caller hears an
announcement.
Refer to ‘‘Recording announcements’’ on page 368 for information on how to
record an announcement.
Let’s add an announcement to our internal helpline. We want the caller to hear an
announcement after 20 seconds in the queue, or after approximately 4 or 5 rings.
Our announcement is already recorded and assigned to extension 1234.
Tip:
You can use
display announcements
to find the extensions of your
recorded announcements.
