Recording skillset mailbox greetings
After you initialize a skillset mailbox, record the greetings for it.
You can record Primary, Alternate and Personalized greetings for each skillset mailbox. You
record a Primary skillset mailbox greeting for everyday use. The Alternate skillset mailbox
greeting is an optional greeting you can record for special circumstances. If your call center
subscribes to Caller ID, you can record Personalized skillset mailbox greetings.
If you record Primary and Alternate skillset mailbox greetings, you must choose which greeting
plays to callers who reach the skillset mailbox.
You can also record greetings in an Alternate Language. Callers can press · while the greeting is
playing to listen to the voice prompts in the Alternate Language. Remember to inform callers in
the Primary skillset mailbox greeting tha t they can press · to hear the Alternate Language.
The skillset mailbox must use the Norstar Voicemail interface for callers to be able to press · to
hear the Alternate language. Callers cannot select an alternate language if the skillset mailbox uses
the CallPilot interface.
If the Operator Status is set to Yes, and a caller presses ‚ during the skillset mailbox greeting, the
caller transfers to the receptionist or Operator. For information about Operator Status, refer to the
CallPilot Manager Set Up and Operation Guide. Inform callers in the skillset mailbox greetings
that they can press ‚ to speak to the receptionist or Operator.
If the Operator Status is set to No, a caller who presses ‚ during the skillset mailbox greeting is
informed the Operator is not available, and is transferred to the skillset mailbox.
